You are thinking of the pak sao as a parry (he throws a punch and you bat it away, like cuffing in boxing) -- it's not. This is not WCK's method.Originally Posted by LSWCTN1
dont worry, i was just being fascetious
but incidentally, maybe my explanation is incorrect but i agree with you and Spencer...
can i ask; how do you perform this with the firsk snt pak, to the shoulder.
IME working against a 50/50 weighted boxers, for example would be a parry and taking them to overextend
although you said its an attack, i believe this is just a by product of tying them up with the pak, and isnt necessarily the intention...
The movement you describe (in the first section of the SNT) is not really a pak sao (although many mislabel it since it has the "shape" of a pak sao): it is a "supporting palm" and is generally used after you are already in contact.
To give you an example, your opponent has attached to you with a neck grabbing hand with his right hand. You want to get your left arm inside to regain control but his elbow is (correctly) down and in so that you have no room. You use this movement by quickly pushing his elbow "outward" with your right hand as you thread in your left arm (tan sao).
