Hi Folks!
Thought i'd go into a technical aspect of technique evolution.
When I originally learned "Charging Ram" I was taught that from a natural stance, execute a left outward downward parry to the outside of my opponent's left arm at or above the elbow to close off the centerline as i stepped with my left foot into a right front twist stance facing 9 o'clock with my right hand cocked to chop.
Now, the present technique, however, list as starting in a right neutral bow and right outward downward diagonal parry to the inside of your opponent's left arm below the elbow as you execute a left outward heel palm to opponent's left temple/face.
So, originally, we closed the centerline and now we're stepping off the line but now on the inside of the opponent's arms...
Why the change?
comments,questions, and answers are encouraged!!!
BEGOOD,
