Here is the list of entry techniques, big thanks for Trist for putting the time in to put e-pen to e-paper

In Fight Techniques

1 a) Lap and punch, Lap and trap, punch
b) Lap and punch, Lap and punch, Lap and trap, punch

I seem to remember to really get a strong X trap the trick was to make the initial Lap before the trap down low to your partners hip and then the lap to trap up high almost trapping across their upper arm just below the shoulder.

2 a) Pak and punch, grab elbow with punch hand, hit to body, hit to face
b) Lap and punch, Pak and punch, grab elbow with punch hand, hit to body, hit to face

They key to getting a good position to take the elbow was allowing your initial punch to fold to Bong Sau (given that there is energy jamming your punch)

3 a) Pak and punch, Tan and punch, Tan hand grabs arm and traps, punch
b) Lap and punch, Pak and punch, Tan and punch, Tan hand grabs arm and traps, punch

The Tan is a straight Tan that invades the centre line (think early part of 1st form) it almost snakes to the outside of their defensive arm and then moves it as you dominate the centre.

4 a) Pak and punch, hit to body with Pak hand, Tan and punch, trap and punch
b) Lap and punch, Pak and punch, hit to body with Pak hand, Tan and punch, trap and punch

Similar straight Tan but from a different starting position as your throwing a body shot first, as the arms comes up to Tan it still comes outside and over their defensive arm (the one that blocked your preceding punch) forcing them to throw the other hand across to defend and allowing the trap.

5 a) Lap and punch, hammer fist to body
b) Lap and punch, Lap and punch, hammer fist to body

Tuck the arm that you Lap up to allow you to hammer fist to the solar plexus.

6 a) Inside gate Pak and chop, chop
b) Inside gate Pak and chop, Workman trap

Your initial chop is off your rear hand for both variations, Workman trap is established by throwing the arm you parked across the top of your other arm (the one that threw the chop).

7 a) Lap and punch, punch through centre
b) Lap and punch, Lap and punch, punch through centre

8 a) Lap and palm strike, push elbow and hit

Push the elbow across their body and hit over the top.

9 a) Pak and punch, Gwai Jarn
b) Lap and punch, Pak and punch, Gwai Jarn

Gwai Jarn - turn the wrist that you Pak over (wrist side up) and rotate your other elbow into the centre, switch the hand that's grabbing the wrist and sink your weight down onto their arms as you establish the position, hit with your free hand.

10 a) Pak and punch, inside gate Pak and chop
b) Lap and punch, Pak and chop

11 a) Pak and punch, punch
b) Lap and punch, Pak and punch, punch

The last punch relies on your partner not giving you proper resistance/energy on the arm you Pak.

b) Lap and punch, Pak and punch, Inside gate Tan and punch, inside gate Pak and punch

13 a) Lap and punch, hammer fist between arms
b) Lap and punch, Lap and punch, hammer fist between arms

We experimented with the hammer fist hitting both solar plexus and also groin, allowing for a follow up rising elbow

14 a) Immovable elbow, Garn and punch, cover and back fist
b) Immovable elbow, switch arms, Garn and punch, cover and back fist

From contact on the initial immovable elbow your rear hand covers their guard hand (think of sliding between the two hands that are guard to guard) and you can then throw your other hand around as an immovable elbow.

15 a) Lap and punch, Tok Sau and punch
b) Lap and punch, Lap and punch, Tok Sau and punch

Tok Sau - catching their arm just above the elbow with your thumb underneath and pushing the arm across their body.

The chop is thrown with the same arm you inside gate Pak with, 16a is the three attacks from the three drill gaining entry with an inside gate.

Class notes: 3 drill master class

Tonight was 2 hours dedicated to the 3 drill.  

Below is most of the key points from the class with some extra notes. For this post there will be less because I feel this should enable greater memory recall...

Heavy back fist from the elbow pulling back. Don't flick and roll or snap it over. Should have depth, length and forward pressure.

Change pressure: pull the lap and send the fist to his face, you should move him to enable your bastard change (the undefendable chop/right cross).

 His centreline and punch pressure 

 Lap directions: vary it for different relations and gaps in his defence.

 Forward pressure: all attacks and defences.

 Line of 4: in the chop forward, (attack1), make sure all 4 hands are on the same plane. Aimed to to promote smart hand positioning in attack and defence.

False interpretation of the centre line: moving off his centre, for example hitting through his centre when you have turned or stepped offline. 

Universal principle doesn't apply when there is no forward pressure from opponent: UP is controlling that space in front of your chest where the hand folds back with in a 6-8 inch zone.

This image here shows the distance of the universal principle, when it applies to pressure coming forward. Imagine the thumb is on your solar plexus and the little finger is extending away on your centreline. That is the distance you want to own.

Hit through the centre x2 pressure on and off: from the backfist.

Uppercut out of backfist

Action reaction: for the hit through - 45 down then 45 up (kiss the gun). the forearm still needs to be uprightish as the elbow has rolled under his forearm. Then action reaction for the lap. Thirdly then go for lap and have hit through the centre!! Amazing stuff;

Arm drag: Lift the arm, don't fight the forward pressure. nbsp;

 Double wrist wrist lock: getting the grip on the hand and the wrist.  

 Grabbing under and on the hand = greater rev effect.nbsp;

 

Arm drag to 3 quarter control: pull hook and push shoulder with your shoulder, when they freak, hook upercut, reapply pressure, if head raises, elbow

Fantastic session tonight. Whilst I love the sparring and grind of the standing grapple I also love the technical science behind this system.
