Single leg hop of 3rd beng bu is a throw on one leg:
My left rear ankle hooks his right calf or ankle and pulls his leg towrds me.
As this happens the hand motions are going on to keep him off balance.
This throw works well when he has started to move back or lean back.
This single leg hop is not in HK 7* verson, but I have seen it in other versions besides the one I practice.
In the 2nd rd of Mantis Hands also has this throw, there the hop is more apparent.
This type of hop also appears in Bazhou. The moves where jumping on a single leg 2 times.
I see this as a popular throw in Judo with a slight differance of hands, since no punches in jodo randori.
The off balance principle is the same.
Throw and trip is a moot point. The chinese word Shuai covers both.
There is also the PM superman throw. That is my name since it looks like a man trying to imitate superman.
Stand on one leg with body perpendicular to floor. 2 Arms punch out and one leg shoots behind, The entire body is perpendicular to the floor, and so looks like you are trying to imatate superman fling.
It is a throw with one leg off the floor.
This type of leg method is also popular in judo.
I learned it in Zhong hu yen, but I see it Wei Xiaotang do it in his 8 Step Zhai yao also.
Oso, the throws you mentioned are the important ones, the variations come out of the hand techniques as well as the reversals.
But there are also the WWF style throws such as uprooting by the torso and things like the firmans carry.
Called dao ko dai-empty his pocket, becuase when you lift hm up he is upside down and his pocket contents fall on the floor.
Also, an application for the mantis siezes cicada posture where you hold him upside down and smash his head on the floor. You would be good at those kinds with your superior body mass.
There is also the application of following hands leads the goat. The 1st move of beng bu second rd is the posture I am talking about, the hands are slightly different.
I showed this to my aikido partner and he said wow! Mantis has Aikido moves! (He teaches in Seattle now).
The principle is pulling the opponent in a direction he can not possible have stability.
Eg if he stand in a horse stance and you are directly in fron of him and pull him forward he will fall unless he readjusts his feet.
The clever aspect of this move is how you start at the side gate and jump to the front gate so you can pull him before he knows where to readjust his feet.
One day Shifu played a game.
He taught the move to my sparring buddy while I wasn’t around(cuz I was picking on him). Then, when we played I got thrown in a way I couldn’t comprehend.
Haha teacher’s idea of a good time.
