In my school, the heun sua is described (by my Sifu) as a way to go from the inside of the bridge to the outside with no mention of any other use. This never set well with me because who leaves and arm out there for you to snake around.
This weekend I was showing SLT to who friend who had never seen WC before but on the web; and to paraphrase his observation he asked.
"Do you guys use that little hand circle move to break an opponent's grip on your wrist? Being that you guys fight in close seems like you would get your wrists grabbed a lot."
In our SLT, the heun sau occurs 18 times! That's a lot of emphasis on a single movement. Is it plausible, from this outsider's interpretation that this is the true meaning of heun sau? That hand circle move shows up in a lot of Karate and self-defence classes as a way to break an attacker's grip on your wrist.
What is it in your lineage?
