the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

When you move in, not only you try to touch your arm on your opponent's arm, you also try to touch your leg on your opponent's leg. Most Taiji PH has done the 1st part, but not the 2nd part.

hmm, kinda of strange strategy in MA if you ask me...
I`ve been thinkin`, that attacking his left leg, and then switching to the right while hands are workin`for support, is one of the basic strategy.
BTW, It was one of my 1,2,3 "winning combo", which goes like: sweeping the left and switching for Taiotoshi/Osotogari -depends of his reaction .

When you have right side forward and your opponent has left side forward, you can attack the

- 1st side (outside of his left leg) by foot sweep, ...
- 2nd side (inside of his left leg) by inner hook, ...
- 3rd side (inside of his right leg) by shin bite, ...
- 4th side (outside of his right leg) by outer leg twist, ...
- back door (behind his back) by embrace, ...
- front door (in front of his chest) by hip throw, ...

You will have many options. It depends how your opponent may respond. But if you can attack your opponent's back leg by your momentum, it's better than just to attack his leading leg.

Get both if you can. Otherwise get one first and get the other afterward.

Thank You,
too bad, that I`m livin`to far to became your wrestling partner ,
