Lesson 40, pak sow entry (#4)

This drill starts with the usual attempted outside entry. In this case the defenders guard hand is very strong, and/or rigidly held in place. We use a pak sow aimed through the forearm at our partners center. As this defensive arm may well be too strong to move, we may need to use the third fighting principle,( yield to greater force) and let the pak sow motion move us around slightly to a new trajectory. In essence you will feel your left pak sow hand move a bit to your right side, as your left elbow and body move around a bit to the left. This allows entry in a direct line for your right punch, which has kept pressure up continuously.

Also if you have good structre, and keep your pak sow quick and snappy, this makes up for most any difference in strength, and will move almost all arms in your way. Because the duration of contact is so short, it is very difficult for anyone, no matter how strong relative to you, to keep their arm in place.
