TFA Intermediate Defense - Sticky Hands Parry

TFA Intermediate
Defense
Sticky Hands Parry

Video summery:
Sifu Marcus Lovemore demonstrates the Transformational Fighting Arts intermediate defensive technique of the sticky hands parry.

Training Suggestions
Keep in mind that this technique is less about strength and power, and more about fluidity and integration. What do I mean by this? Well, when most of my students first practice this technique their most common challenge is the relaxed non-combative nature of this technique. The parry can be very deceptive in the way that, unlike most other parries, which are primarily very aggressive in nature, this parry is not necessarily passive but is intensely connective.

To truly master this technique, what you want to do is focus on the receiving aspect of the technique rather than what most parries focus on, which is repelling or defensive aspects. Although the sticky hands parry is a defensive technique too, in that you are reacting to an attack, but to really understand the motion you must treat the attach as an opportunity not an attack, and invite it in with the parry. Take your opponents energy and momentum and use it rather than resist it. Because at the end of the day resistance only leads to suffering.

Although this technique takes quite a bit of practice to perfect once you become proficient you will see the benefit to you and your life.

Good training,
Sifu Marcus
