Bak Mei - closing the distance: kick counters

9/14/2012

2 Comments

 
Bak Mei kung-fu is a style that functions best at the close quarters distance.  With that being said, a Bak Mei practitioner needs to close the distance to employ their tools.   For a successful execution of Bak Mei techniques an understanding of the 3 distances (saam gwaan - which is long range, mid range, and close range) is required along with having the proper counter measures if an opponent attacks with their longest weapon, which would be the leg (ie the longest limb of the human body). 

An answer to an incoming kick is the Boi Jeung (literally back of palm), which is one of the many tools a Bak Mei practitioner can utilize to counter a kick, close the distance, and jam/disrupt the opponents attack.  With the Boi Jeung two basic permutations can be used.  The first method would be a simple stop hit, and the other would be used as a kick catch into a sweep.

As actions speak louder than words, here is a link showcasing the stop-hit for a kick:
