Combat training (from beginner to expert level)

An execution example of 32 trapping drills

In this video (connected to Trapping: 4 EASY to LEARN Techniques (video)), we show 32 practical examples of training drills for trapping (in the particular case, Master Kongling uses the 6 Dragons Kung Fu’s wooden dummy, read The 6 Dragons Kung Fu’s wooden dummy).

The focus of this training is to manage the interactions with the opponent at a middle or short distance (read Ideal distance from the opponent during a fight) and it promotes: spatial intelligence, coordination, precision, conditioning, body states, flow quality and much more.

A note by Master Kongling – It is important to stress that the method of execution demonstrated in the video (speed, level of impact, etc.) is not the one of real combat.

Notes

This is not Wing Chun and our wooden dummy is slightly different (read also The Wing Chun dummy)

6 Dragons Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun (etc.) have different mechanics

These are only examples, to correctly execute and understand them we need (at least) basic knowledge of 6 Dragons Kung Fu’s body states (read 6DKF’s interactions: from the strong blow to the light touch)

Let’s hit with the palm if we are not conditioned (or use the protections, to hit a gnarled wood we need a lot of conditioning, read Conditioning check for the impact)

All these drills have been studied to improve upper limbs mobility; alternating left and right sides, let’s repeat each drill 100 times (eg. 1 per day)

The drills are divided by level (beginner, intermediate, advanced and expert); the expert level drills are divided into 2 groups

Some of the drills may appear the same but they are not, let’s focus on the small details

Let’s remember that drills are not techniques, they are made to educate the muscle memory (read The muscle memory), let’s focus on manual skills (the drills by themselves are just “games”)
