Biu Tze- Snake hand

[stonecrusher69]

A few movements from the opening section of the bil Tze form. The first movement is to release a wrist grab followed by a finger strike to the throat. An alternative would be to use kum Na on the opponents wrist and break it. Instead I choose a simple release.

Nice video. I take it that you choose the release because it is simpler and more direct than a break? We tell our students every class that, no matter how many different applications we see and learn for a given technique, the simplest, most direct one will work better than those that are more complicated.

Looks like Gojushiho\Useishi, to me

Thanks for sharing!

I actually thought the same thing... I wonder if there's a connection between these two specific forms (Gojushiho and bil Tze)?

From looking at videos of the form, itself, I would say that they are not related. Of course, that doesn't mean that they don't share some applications

I concur with Wastelander and CredoTe!! Thanks for sharing the video with us!!

The wrist lock break I actually demo on an up coming video I will release soon.,so I did not want to repeat my self, this movement has many applications I only show a few. If you noticed in the video my opponent is blocking side to side and when you do that you can not stop this technique because your movement is slow and leaves a hole for me to slip into. in wing chun we almost never block side to side and when ever you cross your hand over your centerline your dead in the water. I will be able to trap and control your hands.
