In an effort to reach out a helping hand to my young brothers and sisters of the Chinese arts, I’ve been answering some questions. I’ve created a post so that we could keep them in a collective group so that they found and that someone may ask a question that you would like to know.
"Anyone know what he’s talking about “cut-kicking skills?.”
[b]A cut kick is a kick to the support leg, while an attacker is making a kick.
ex. you roundhouse me to the thigh. As I see this motion, I kick you on the inside thigh of your support leg with a round kick.
Result, Your kick will have less power, you may fall, and kicks to the inside hurt..[/b]
What is an “educated jab”?
[b]an “educated” jab is the practice of fighting behind the jab. Basically you’ll be pumping your jab all fight long, to measure the distance, immediately thrown at the first signs of motion, and to set up your combinations.
It is a very safe and effective style for ring fighting, where you can keep at longer range without the fear of a takedown or throw.
from ringside.com (great site)
[i]The jab is equivalent to a basketball player’s jump shot or a baseball player’s swing. It is the most fundamental offensive (and defensive) punch in boxing. It serves innumerable purposes as a strategic weapon. It sets up more powerful shots, keeps your opponent off balance, can be used to dictate the pace of the fight, and buys time for you.
Throughout boxing history there have been numerous boxers who have demonstrated the effectiveness of a good jab. Larry Holmes, Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali are a few of the names that immediately come to mind. They have literally won fights and dictated the outcome with the use of an effective jab. There have, however, been a few boxers who have been successful in the sport without the extensive use of the jab. Mike Tyson and Joe Frazier rarely used the jab, but their physical build and boxing styles didn’t rely as much on the jab as it did power. They were still able to compete at the top of their game, but were often defeated by those boxers who used the jab as a weapon. Ali used the jab to keep Frazier out of punching range and Buster Douglas never allowed Mike Tyson on the inside where he could capitalize on his power. The formula is simple: a tall boxer who is competing against a shorter opponent would most likely try to “stick” the jab as much as possible, not giving the opponent the opportunity to hit him. Conversely, the smaller boxer wouldn’t want to throw many jabs because of the reach differentiation. Rather, he would want to slip and counter while attempting to get on the inside. Getting past a strong jab is difficult for any boxer, regardless of his size.
The bottom line is you should use the jab often. Master it and its different uses. Whether you use it in competition or not, it should begin each training session as it does each combination.[/i][/b]
So you duck, your left arm comes up between your head and the incoming right hook. What do you call this?
[b]Simply called a block. pretty standard stuff.
when you “move” a jab or cross by pushing it to the side its called a parry.
block - hooks and uppercuts
parry -a cross
and parry or catch -a jab.
duck and slipping punches = bob and weave
Slip inside/ slip outside a jab or cross - “stabbing punches”
duck under a hook. (hook and uppercuts are slashing punches) a
“rock” backwards on an uppercut.
So you see there is defense thru movement and defense thru stopping or deflecting a punch.
movement will take up less of your energy, but stopping is a must when you don’t have anywhere to go. (he cut off your angle to move out.)
when using blocks and parry. Use same side arm! If you use opposite arm you open yourself up big.
good ex = he is in conventiaonl left stance and fires l jab, r cross, l hook, r uppercut
You are also in left leg lead stance. - parry or catch jab with right, parry the cross with left (towards your right), bring up arm right arm to block l hook, and bring down left forearm to stop r uppercut.
BTW : This is a great drill and is good for removing the “flinch” reflex as you get used to punches sailing at your melon..
have him mix up his combinations and you mix up blocks likewise. also mix in movement defense as well. parry the jab, slip the cross, duck the hook, rock back to avoid the uppercut.[/b]
Grappling terminology is also fair game!
underhook/overhook?
Overhook - When you “tie”- restrain someone’s arm by hooking your arm over arm. Your bicep/forearm should be pinching their tricep.
Underhook - Exact opposite. Your arm pinches their tricep with a “curling” motion - make a bicep felxing motion
Used by people in grappling situations, they are great in restraining or controlling an opponent. Double overhooks/underhooks, 1 overhook and 1 underhook ar very common.
related terms -
“w h izzzer” & arm drag
****zer is a overhook to a leading arm counter when an opponent treies to shoot in on you for a double or single leg takedown.
Armdrag - using both hands (called a 2 on 1) you drag opponents arm across their body and then move towards their exposed side.
come on you steely-eyed chi monkeys..
beotch, do you have questions on xing yi terminology?
No.
Xing yi is feminine. 
mkay, stay safe with Stavit then.
Did I hit a soft spot? (maybe it was your G spot..)
lmao @ stavit, it looks amazingly similar to the uselss conglomerate of garbage known as “internal” arts.
right on, be by the fountain on the park at Frederick Maryland at 3:02pm next Friday, fridays are good, i like fridays, i would prefer on fridays.
Funny thing about that.
I actually went.
Where were you? (or anyone else for that matter.) Oh yeah, smack talking on the internet..
If you don’t have a terminology question, then go dissipate your jing somewhere else.
This thread should be free of x vs. x
nah, get your facts straight, i was playing Street Fighter 2 as Sagat. Sagat is a muay thai fighter, he is the best charactor, he throws roundhouse kicks.
would be a bit hard for him to go considering he lives in Brasil mate! 
Does anyone take these internet challenges seriously anyway? why would i want to ravel all the way to the USA to fight someone i had never met before in my life? 
dawood
Sagat is the BEST in SF2 tiger uppercut
dawood
Then don’t talk trash if you can’t see it thru. I’m a “put up or shut up” guy and at least Ralek had the balls to honor the meeting.
sorry, i misspelled muy thai on my previous post
awwww (blushes) does that mean you wanna meet me too, like you met Ralek? 
I’m not against the idea.
