Kungfu Hammer Fist - Gao Choi | Evo's Basics

This week Evo picks another 1 of 36 hand techniques (san sau) found in Chow Ga Mantis. Gao Choi is a hammer fist but made with the Phoenix Eye Fist (not your standard closed fist), helping to make that edge of the hand firmer. Being a core method of striking in Chow Ga Mantis, its important to condition your hands with your partner. And remember, keep the follow through short to help develop that inch power.

I really appreciate the thought you put into this video. Thanks for sharing. The combination of the conditioning drill with a few applications afterwards is a really good format.

muchos gracias! haha encantado de compartir!

[@indyjones1970]

Awesome! Any accompanying jongs?

[@EvosBasics]

Like every San Sau they can either be trained isolated or in combination (jongs)

[@pascal0868]

Hey Arthur, love this motion. One concern is how you protect the outer bone, the small pinky side. Without a small rotation of the wrist it seems one exposes the bone to fractures. Regards.

[@EvosBasics]

pinky knuckle is fair game in the conditioning exercise. Be progressive with the amount of force you guys play with to prevent injury, don't come out the gates swinging for the fences hah, cheers!

[@adamhollick777]

Wana meet up for some lessons??
