Trapping is a core training method of Wing Chun Kuen, but it has been complicated to teach.
Over the years, I’ve searched for ways to teach the skills to my students. I would explain, “After striking with the Tan Da, the right fist changes into a Lop Sao and traps the opponent, where you strike him with a Lop Da, then you can continue on to Jut Da!”
I’d get puzzled looks – then the opportunity was lost…and it became a mess and a jammed up tangle and struggle for the students.
