Praying Mantis Kung Fu: Outside Block High Chop

Video Transcript

I'm Wes from The Chinese Kung Fu Academy and for Expert Village and this is how you perform the Mantis fighting technique, outside block chop. Now this is a very fast technique. You use the block and the strike almost in the same time. As they attack, you're going to block with the left and drive the palm toward the neck. Keeping a relaxed hand is key. If you're tense it'll be too slow. To show you slowly once. One, two. A little faster is just like that. To demonstrate the technique as I punch, block and step in, chopping and into th neck, just like that. One more slow, one, two. And one a little faster. Just like that. As you drive the palm in remember to keep relaxed. Don't pick the elbow up you want to keep it down so that when you strike you can move upwards aiming for the neck, side of the jaw. This technique can be performed on either side, with either hand. So if you punch that side, I can block still, I can block with the right, chop with the left. If you punch the other hand, I can block with the right, chop with the left. Same side, and punch the left hand. I can block with the left, chop with the right. This is a very useful technique for your arsenal and it's very fast. If you practice it diligently, it'll never let you down. That's being performed, outside block high chop.
