Naihanchi / Tekki Shodan Trapping Applications

[LeighSimmsMA]

Hi all,

Last week I filmed a number of my foundational static and isolated drills for Tekki Shodan/Naihanchi which cover the sideways turn in the kata, the change from facing left to right in the kata, the "hiki-te" (pulling hand), striking targets & weapons and trapping techniques.

I hope they are of interest to some on here.

Drill 1 - Haishu Uke and Empi Uchi

Drill 2 - Dealing with the enemy blocking the Empi Uchi

Drill 3- Dealing with the enemy blocking the Haishu Uke

Thanks Leigh for sharing.

All of these techniques are also a part of Wing Chun system.

Interesting to see them done in a karate setting.

These techniques are very effective, would say, that they would be introduced to (Wing Chun) students in about the second year of training.

First there would be drills to practice, called 12 hands pack Sao before actually doing the techniques.

As well as ;Bruce Lee took it a notch higher by doing these techniques in karate and wing Chun by not touching the opponent but to flow around and striking instead; making the techniques faster and more difficult to defend against.

Interesting to see how other arts systemise their drills and progressions. Many thanks for sharing Alan

No Thank You!

Trapping techniques are a big part of the Wing Chun system, with the idea of one hand trapping two, leaving one hand free to strike with.

In Wing Chun trapping and striking is done simultaneously in one move, as opposed to trap then strike; in two.

Continue what you are doing and practicing diligently, they are highly effective and especially useful tools for any martial artist.

I would suggest (time permitting) to look at how it is done from a Wing Chun perspective, as these techniques are also practiced on a Wing Chun wooden dummy.

Another aspect from Wing Chun is that the techniques are practiced blind fold, as to increase the tactile qualities; propreceptive training.
