TAIJIQUAN COMBAT SEQUENCE 2 - PUNCH BELOW SLEEVES

Taijiquan combat application

In this second Combat Sequence, Jeffrey attacks with a palm thrust to the opponent's throat. Javier deflects the attack and counters with a left palm thrust.

Jeffrey deflects the attack and counters with a middle punch. Javier “sinks” Jeffrey both arms and is about to grip them, but Jeffrey neutralizes with a circular movement, followed immediately with a left palm attack using the Taijiquan pattern “Lazy to Roll up Sleeves”, simultaneously moving his back left leg forward.

All the movements in these combat sequences are pre-arranged. Will students be able to fight if they train in pre-arranged sequences? The purpose here is not to fight freely yet, but to develop suitable skills and techniques which prepare practitioners for free sparring and actual fighting later on.
