| Aug 30, 2021 at 6:20 | comment | added | DukeZhou | @user2153235 There's one Fu style LiangYi move that might be worth looking at and adapting to your style: "Cat Catches Mouse" (distinct from the jian movement of the same name.) Essentially, it's an "envelopment" technique where, when an opponent is trying to grapple, you "double wipe" both arms under-over-under their arms in a circular motion that becomes a spiral because you're advancing. Their arms become trapped and you've snuck in to set up the leg sweep. Then focus, into the ground, hard or soft, or just to unbalance, then follow-step to set up the classic push, max root, to be gentle. | |

I'm like 51 now, and my left rotator cuff is all effed up from too much hard striking when younger, so I do mostly Taiji & Liangyi these days. In these forms I've started heavily emphasizing pushing/grappling with powerful foot sweeps from high and mid stances. We also use the arch stomp extensively when advancing with certain fist strikes in the hsingyi I was taught, and there are even a few leg hooks. Some of the best hsingyi guys I know started out in boxing and karate, and then transitioned when they got too old for brute force. | |

It is a fazing or distracting strike to improve the prospects of success of the follow-up move. In my case, it is an aggressive foot sweep, followed by other strikes. | |

Edited down to make simpler and more on point.
