question about the Harmonious Spring Drill
« on: May 04, 2009, 08:01:37 PM »
Hey Sifu Tackett, or any JKD practicioner who would like to share, would you be willing to share a little about the nature and purpose of this drill, I have never seen this particular drill in Wing Chun, I beleive it is actually a praying mantis drill. Did Bruce study any praying mantis kung fu?

Probably need to ask that one on Tim's JKD page.
To get fast results.

It is a Mantis drill and is used to counter someone striking you from a double arm outside reference sticking point.  They practice by sticking to the opponent's arm reacting with a bong sao or a tan sao; those used simultaneously (one arm bongs and the other tans) I think is called a quan sao, since off the double jut sao you don't know which arm is going to strike first.  I hope that helps.

It is also a defense against a jut and straight hit.

I'm sorry, but did anyone else flash on the three stooges in the last minute or so of that clip?

"Wise guy, eh." smackity smack smack. "Why, you...." ;D

Seriously, though, some quick hands.
