Category of Attack: Pushes
Method of Attack: Front Two-Hand Push
Alternating Maces
Snaking Talon
Within the category of attack Pushes, there are 7 two hand pushes, 5 of which are high, applied to the chest or shoulders. This video features two of them: Alternating Maces and Snaking Talon. The drill will enhance your ability to decrease your reaction time to the “what if” situations-in this case, blocking only the left arm when you apply Alternating Maces. More response time alloys you to apply the correct counter: Inserting a right outward block, a right front kick, and altering the weapon & adjusting the target.
“Nature of Attack — Refers to learning to: 1) identify, define and classify the types of encounters you may find yourself in; 2) thoroughly scrutinize the various methods in which weapons (natural or otherwise) can be employed; and (3) instinctively determine your choice of action in successfully combating the numerous types of encounters with which you may be confronted” (p. xii Infinite Insights, Book 5-Ed Parker.
