Technical description: Wushu Spear Smash
- Start standing on your right leg and hold the spear vertical behind you.
Hold the thin end of your spear with your right hand, so that the thick end points to the floor behind your legs. Look straight forward and raise your left knee a bit over hip level.
- Swing the spear forward down ( over head or over your left shoulder ) and start going into a left sided flat stance.
Twist 90° on the ball of your right foot. Keep looking straight forward.
At the same time
change the grip of your left hand, so that no fingers are under the spear.
( unless you want to injure your fingers )
Push down the spear with the flat palm.
- Smash the spear flat onto the floor and go into a left flat stance.
See flat stance lesson.
- The right hand pulls the top of the spear slightly up.
Actually stop the right hand an inch before you would punch into the floor.
The left hand pushes the "middle" of the spear down. ( creates
the slap )
Make sure no fingers are under the spear and keep looking straight forward.
