Non-Ch'ang Lineage

Valraven,
Yeah, pretty much the same philosophy here. Some 10 years ago, when I used to bounce, I found that sometimes people would try to stiff arm me. (With the rule being I couldn’t move first, I got very good at offering targets I could work off of.) In this case a headswing and a clip or leg pick worked very effectively - especially since I was just trying to take the fight out of the person and not hurt them.

Hey - what are the five factors you use to evaluate? - always curious.

Monkey,
They are as follwed:
1.) The throw should be of enough impact to stop your opponent.
2.) The throw should incorporate a joint lock or chin na technique.
3.) The throw utilizes the principle of opposing force.
4.) The throw incorporates proper changing of levels.
5.) The thrower does not go to the ground with his opponent.

Not all throws will have all elements, but there will be enough of these to make the throw viable.
