Siu Nin Tao: Bong Sao

62. Lift your hand up as if waving at someone	63. Lift your elbow out while brining yor hand in front of your eyes.	64. Push your hand forward and down	Details: 90° at shoulder joint, 135° at elbow joint Ulna faces up wrist relaxed relax arm and drop elbow into center for the low tan sao Application: Primary defense against a high hammer punch Secondary defense against a pull or force to the outside gate The dropping tan sao can be related to a dropping back-fist. Differences: Most people go directly up into the bong sao instead lifting the henad Most drop into high tan and hit high NOTE This bong sao motion is another change that Sifu Lo made, so as to emphasize that we do not use bong sao as a primary block, unless the attack is coming from high to low. Also, we drop the entire bong sao into the centerline so that your tan sao is low, instead of just dropping the elbow, which brings us to a high tan sao. Our palm strike is also low so that we do not sprain our wrist.
Teaching Note Have the student assume the bong sao position, drop their weight in your hand, then use just enough energy to hold the bong sao up. They should only feel their anterior deltoid.

65. Drop down into tan sao by bring your elbow to the center. Hand should be even with your navel.

66. Hit forward with a low palm strike

67. Start a huen sao motion with your hand fixed

68. Finishing the huen sao, pull your hand back to the side.
