勾腳摔
6-1. Introduction
Leg hooking is a major technique used in San Shou Kuai Jiao. It is very effective and minimizes the use of energy to take down an opponent. Also, leg hooks are hard to detect in close range situations because fighters tend to pay more attention to an opponent's hands. If you can distract your opponent with your hands, or if you have the opportunity to control your opponent's hand(s), the chance to use a successful leg hooking technique increases.
There are many different types of hooking techniques available in San Shou Kuai Jiao. You can hook an opponent from a standing or kneeling position. Normally, you use the foot or lower leg to hook an opponent's leg or ankle. In many applications, hooking is used as a leg block, and sometimes serves to control a leg attack or to immobilize an opponent.
In many applications, kicking techniques are executed along with hooking techniques. This combination, known as Hook Kicking, is used to lock and uproot your opponent simultaneously. Hook kicks usually target the ankles and lower legs. In general, hook kicks have more power than just a leg hook, so your opponent goes down harder.
But whether hooking or hook kicking, keep in mind that hand techniques are vital to the success of a throw. A hooking technique needs the hands to control an opponent's body. The hand techniques often used along with the hooking techniques are pulling, pushing and thrusting. The hand techniques must have enough power to make the throw effective. Another important element is that the hand(s) and leg(s) must coordinate when executing hooking techniques. Also, the direction of the applied force of the technique must be correct. Generally speaking,the force applied by the hand(s) is in the opposite direction of the hooking leg or foot. This provides maximum symmetry power.
In this chapter we will introduce various types of hooking techniques widely used in fighting. Some of these techniques are suitable for tall and strong people who can take advantage of their longer arms, legs and strength. Examples of these techniques are #2,8,9,10. Other techniques are best suited for smaller and quicker people. Examples of these types of techniques are #4,6,7.
