I'm with Shiatsu on this one.
In our school, we are taught to use our prongs (aka chicken beaks-fingers and thumbs togeather) to the kidney, or to palm strike the kidneys. My Sifu even showed me how you can grab the skin over the kidneys and twist, boy that hurts.
The shot to the groin or the pressure point is a hard target to hit effectivly when in close quarters like that.

I did, what I am saying is that if someone already has you in this position, they aren't standing still, and there is not much you can do to stop it:asian:

Like I said it is one of the techniques that I would like to see done at full speed against a opponent that is non compliant.
Are you talking about on the defense?Originally posted by rmcrobertson
OK, got that. Now, could you tell me what the opening of this techniques has to do with making anyone "retreat?"

I would like to see it done at full speed, with a non compliant attacker before I believe that two thumb prongs will make the attacker retreat.

Does anyone know what situations this attack would actually happen, I know there are a few, but how realistic do you think it is to begin with?
You mean to tell me that it is not realistic to think that someone "might possibly" grab you in a front bearhug (arms free or pinned)? C'mon, you are just testing us with that question aren't you.....

I think the problem that some of the posters have with this tech is seeing the reality of the attack.

Try thinking of the foot stepping back as a very small step, just to give a little clearance, but primarily to rebound off the floor into the knee. Try less of a "settle" into the shallow forward bow, but a bounce off the floor. The timing of the suppressing check (crane) and knee should then occur almost simultaneously.
Note: there is a principle called stabilized assistance, which means that when you utilize the suppressing check, you are loading some of your weight on him and assisting your own balance. It also ensures the target is less likely to be moved, and you are less likely to get a knee to the groin since you do "straddle the paddle" in this technique.
I have seen it other ways, but this is the one I choose to teach.

My only concern is that we get on the same page and study one specific scenairo at a time, if one persons "attack" is slightly different from anothers, then the results and series may "have" to be different. [/B]

That is an incredible idea (what gd7 said). Maybe the attacks could be described in the same detail as the techs? If you don't fully understand what the attack is, how can you really understand the technique?
There could also be suggestions for variations of the basic attack. This would more than double the written material so I realize it's no small task.
