Concerning the differences btwn leopard and tiger
techn.s. Does anyone else find that most tiger techn.s
incorporate some kind of trap or lock(wether you use it or
not to do the techn.)? Whereas most leopardsdo not
trap or lock and are more identified with an initial
set of multiple stikes.<br>For example: Step forwards
ltwith #5 block continuing into rt downwards rake to
face then lt inverted downwards palm to temple. Lt
hand continues down to rake groin (before the upwards
groin rake tori is in position to trap and lock uki's
rt arm but this would stop the flow of the techn so
we teach mainly the continuous motion). Lt rakes
upwards from groin to lift chin. t tigers mouth to
throat. Lt palm to jaw lt arm continues past chin to grab
opposite side of the neck and pull back and down into a lt
rising knee to spine step down lt into a side horse
stance and rt screw punch to chest or plexus as weight
transfers. Cross out and cover<br><br>As opposed to a
leopard : Step forwards lt with block#4 and simulateous
rt. leopards paw to ribs. Shuffle behind uki and lt
rising elbow to spine lt hand grabs uki's rt shoulder
and makes a small circle (forwards then outwards
counterclockwise and back) lt leg sweeps at rt ankle while lt arm
pulls down = takedown. Lt leg slides back to find body
then rt back kick to chest or head. Cross out and
cover<br><br>Leopard no locks or traps. Has anyone else noticed this
tendancy; perhaps had it explained to them or am I seeing
something that is not there?
Yes, same with us. At lower levels, you learn no.6 with a block. Lower intermediate you learn with a dragon trap, then uppper intermediate you work on just ...

That's very interesting. We *definitely* step in with the right foot and NOT back with the left. So, we are facing 9:00 now in a horse stance. The palm block ...
