THE SHOOT AND THE LIFT IN WRESTLING

Shaolin Kungfu

Despite being pinned down by five able-bodied persons, Grandmaster Wong got up quite easily

Before a wrestler can pin you down, he has to take you down onto the ground. Two main ways are the Shoot and the Lift. Sifu Jamie demonstrates how these two felling attacks are made. Grandmaster Wong explains that these attacks are applicable in a sport, but may not be practical in a real fight, because the attacker exposes himself to great risk when attempting these attacks. Moreover, if the attacker could take down an opponent, he would also be able to strike the opponent decisively instead. On the other hand, a master with internal force can release himself quite easily even when he is pinned down by a few people.
