A forward moving attack, even if it it is the elbow that strikes first, is called Kao (Shoulder). <BR/>It's a translation problem. <BR/>I remember Zhang Xuexin thinking it was really funny that we say "move back" when we mean take a step away or to the rear, it sounds like we mean: wiggle your spine!Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771944484286659825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201222618566180765.post-72351565937202737192007-07-08T14:37:00.000-07:002007-07-08T14:37:00.000-07:00Sarah:Do you mean using the elbow as a chin-na loc...Sarah:<BR/>Do you mean using the elbow as a chin-na locking technique?
