[@metrolinamartialarts]

Thanks brother!

[@philosopherboy]

I enjoy the psychological side of traps, conditioning folks to respond a certain way then exploiting it (kick low 2-3X, then feint+punch, etc.). Lures and counter by drawing. Create an expectation or the appearance of weakness, wait for the overcommitment, then take advantage. But generally, my approach is "aggressive counter-fighting." Basically, I stay offensive and pepper out shots, they don't need to be particularly threatening, just enough to push and overwhelm someone for a sec, then create short beats where I stop. People then naturally try to answer back immediately. You bang-bang-bang....wait...then bang (usually with a slip, parry, etc. - I dig split entry especially). It sounds funny, but there's a great playful side to this in sparring and such, too. I really enjoy doing goofy stuff or feigning that I'm more tired or beat up than I am - then resuming regular intensity after they've dropped their guard a bit or come a' hunting.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

That's a great tactic. Get them disrupted then get your game off. I dig it

[@killaben85]

Good for Varga too since striking in the clinch is illegal in Karate Combat unless it's on the break. But striking while trapping/controlling the arms is legal in Karate Combat.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Yeah, that's a tricky ruleset

Kevin's parry to pin is a lot like my favorite. My fav is pak sao with lead hand, pin the elbow with the rear hand (might also Tyson hop to the lead side), then I come over the pinned arm with an elbow killshot. (Does that make sense?) I have hit this multiple times in sparring and its SUPER satisfying. As a variant, instead of the elbow you can shoot your arm to the neck and enter the clinch with great advantage or you can shoot the arm across his neck for leverage and then sweep. I also like to bounce from a pak sao into an elbow with the same hand. Or from a frame to a spearing elbow against a wrestler.

Cool discussion guys, thanks! Should be noted that the Thai "jut" is technically a trap..or really any parry+fire/riposte, etc. We can widen the concept and look at kickboxing as "trapping" the opponent's perception (fakes/feints, etc), "grappling" with his anticipation. But man you can really see it in the clinch in MMA, with elbows, knees, etc...controlling limbs etc directly becomes super important there

Varga's slick kick captures/reaps are a common staple of Northern Gongfu/Sanshou. They drop a lot of Thai Boxers on their ass with those.

Some of my favorite traps aren't traps as much as set-ups, one of them is that I like to do the Wonderboy where I lean forward a bit with low hands to draw a strike to the head then fade back into an intercepting side-kick. One of the ones I use more often though, is I'll do a kinda Wing-Chun style cross step check to the shin when someone's coming forward to throw off their timing a bit, then I immediately follow up with punches.

[@deejin25]

First time I ever kick boxed. I was supposed to spar another teenage green belt, but secretly my sensei who thought I was getting too big for my britches had planned with the kickboxing coach to have me spar an older green bet who had been an experienced amateur boxer. The dude opened up with a full power overhead right and that set the tone. I wound up breaking his nose in the second round. The memorable part of it was since this guy had very little kicking experience kicking every time his coach shouted for him to kick or even to throw a particular punching combination I'd do it first and hit him with it. It actually made a difference.

[@LunaticReason]

Tip on trapping its not always about catching the other guys hand because on a jab its almost impossible but rather than chasing the opponents hands you can attack and force them to defend that establishes the bridge and from there you can convert it into a trap. Top position is the hand position you wanna gain in these exchanges. Trapping is like playing chess where you taking away his pieced and forcing them to move until they cant move or have nothing to threaten you with rather.

[@metrolinamartialarts]

Yup!

[@The_Zefside]

I got one for you coach. This is applicable to someone who has 'shelled up' or gone into a boxing high guard. Close the distance, place your forearm across their guard horizontally and it will trap their arms/hands. I use it often but I'm still working out the most effective follow-ups ( I'm boxing based ). So far I've just been using a right hook to the body.

@@metrolinamartialarts thanks. I always think of it when I put my leather combat boots on for hiking. I know they'd help my kicks but I wonder how much

[@KickyFut]

Boots will of course do much more damage than regular sneakers, but you lose some flexibility in the ankles and they're quite a bit slower if you're not used to the weight. You should always take time to practice using normal clothing/shoes to know your limitations and restrictions that many clothes give you.

[@basedbane787]

@@KickyFut I wear leather combat boots so they're not very heavy and ankle mobility isn't a factor because I'd use toe kicks with the thick/rubber. I know they'd help but I'd like to see some kind of test to see how much. Also steel toe are slow and heavy but would the extra damage be worth it ?

[@Utuberj0sh]

I feel like there is potential with Hand trap systems as MMA Ground and pound defense. Currently we see a lot of blocking; holding hands up to obstruct the strike; and general head movement (attempts) But hand trapping could potentially add a lot more counters from the bottom

[@Utuberj0sh]

the critique of wing chun / hand trapping systems, is that people move in and out of that range too quickly for those trapping combos to be effective. but if you're stuck on the bottom, and your opponent isn't actively trying to sub you. then they're also stuck in that ideal trapping range too!

A lot of Shaolin they bring the foot closer and try to grab it in front of them from like a crescent kick. Bruce's warm up in Enter The Dragon looked like he wanted to scoop it from behind, straight from horse stance to grabbing his ankle with the opposite hand so if his right leg is front snatch the oppositions left foot.

[@JcPepin]

One of my favorites is to feint a jab or a cross to bring their guard up, then throw an axe kick that deliberately targets their hands. The leg coming real high usually keeps their hands high, until the kick yanks them down and away leaving them wide open for the big overhand that's coming right behind the kick. It's real fun to land, but usually only works once, maaaybe twice in any given set of rounds 😅

Then next similar kick goes but it is a "lazyone" [and this is the trap or it is rather a "progressive indirect attack"] the opponent usually steps back 2 steps. This time I am letting down my previously rear leg at the front so the distance is misscalculated hence I follow up with a jkd pendulum side kick usually I arrive when the opponent still not lowered the body wheight or even midstep if it works the otherone flies.

Definitely cool to have a coach that uses code words like "whopper" "and "zing um". Left kick is "Judy" and right kick is "Garland". Then you can even have safe words like if the coach says "GET HIM or LETS GO" at the start that means its a false command and not to listen to it, its just to mind control your opponent. Then you can turn false commands into the trap. Like if the coach keeps saying "GET HIM, HEAD KICK" Its just to make the enemy think about headkicks then the fighter can do a takedown or whatever. Also the fighter himself can use keywords as a mind trap. Like the fighter keeps saying "Whopper" and then doing a leg kick. In the 3rd round the fighter then says "whopper" and switches it to a flurry of punches and the enemy is expecting a leg kick. You can also do this by slapping your chest and then doing side kicks. After the 3rd or 4th one every time you slap your chest the enemy is going to be expecting a side kick. BUILD HIS APPREHENSION. You can also use clicking noises or whatever the hell you can think off to mindshift your opponent. Hell you could even pretend to cough and "stop defending yourself" to lure them in.

It's a simple one, hardly even worthy of the name, but new or tired people tend to overcommit to parrying the jab. So you feed them 3 jabs in a row. On the first two, you condition the parry, then on the third jab, you roll your forearm around the parry and hit 'em with a hook. Works even better in a mirrored lead, because the distances are shorter than they appear.

Still counts

Whilst i love the idea of Trapping, how would you be able to apply this to point sparring contests with light-no contact? O am i trying to put a square peg in a round hole?

[@metrolinamartialarts]

If you can get them shelling up - you can start to apply some trapping. But it's hard if they know they're safe.
