[QUOTE=YouKnowWho;1218788]The difference between “wrist grabbing” and “forearm parrying” are almost unnoticeable. When your left hand move a clockwise circle toward your opponent right leading arm.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. That is how we teach our students.
We also use momentary forearm contact in the same way as mantis hook.
That is how we use that concept when we have gloves on.
Also makes the student learn how to get in deeper.

That is the mental image when training those moves, haha.

If technique done properly, no can defense.

Come to think of it…
…I’ve never used a 3-section staff technique for anything other than the form. Those techniques don’t quite map on to anything else. I used to practice a Bak Sil Lum sparring set: 3-section staff vs. spear. I was mainly the 3-section staff side. My main partner and I got pretty good at it. But that’s the closest I’ve ever come to using any of those 3-section staff techniques.

Praying Mantis 3 section staff in 3 section staff vs. spear maps a bit to double broadsword or double stick.
Not very fancy looking, but practical.

Out of interest, Thomas Holtmann of Qixing Tanglang family in Germany fights full contact with the 3 section staff against many different weapons as part of the Dog Brothers. He is AKA Gongfu Dog. He does very well with it too.

Has anybody seen the heel kick been used in any fight?
I’ve seen it.

Front heel kick, yes. But not effective the way she’s doing it.
Beginners kick like that all the time. Takes forever to fix that mistake.

http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/1174/heelkick.jpg[/QUOTE] I avoid using front kixks (except to the ankle & shins) but my most powerful kick is a heel kick. Rear full extension mule kick without looking behind at target to announce intention.

Best front push kick is a “teep,” where you extend your toes and hit with the ball of the foot. It’s highly effective to the midsection and below.

As for your back kick description, I don’t recommened kicking at anything you can’t see.

Best in what terms? Damage, keeping the opponent at a distance etc… Just curious.
[QUOTE=Brule;1219959]Best in what terms? Damage, keeping the opponent at a distance etc… Just curious.[/QUOTE]
Best as in “most effective.”
You might kick harder using something else, but the Teep creates a safe striking distance by means of the foot extension and torso leaning back and has significant stopping power without compromising your defense or balance.
In my opinion.
[QUOTE=MasterKiller;1219750][/QUOTE]
That looks like a “toe push kick” by using the “ball” of the foot instead of the “heel” of the foot as the contact point.
The “toe push kick” has much more reach than the “heel kick” (not talking about spin heel kick here). The straight line “heel kick” just seems to me a bit too short in reaching.
Here’s the full context.

That’s still “toe push kick”.
