Very cool! Is this like a jin/thrust, that would need to be recovered? What I mean to ask, is the staff/spear would come back to the inside/center after this thrust, is that correct? Thank you, Sifu Kuttel!
Yes, it would be a way to return the staff to the center, but anytime it is out of the hands it is very vulnerable to get knocked away, likewise the entire time of this technique, the front of the torso is exposed so it is a very rarely used technique.
Interesting technique, looks very cool. Is it meant to be used as an attack (poking at the opponent), or a way to recover from an awkward/unguarded position? What is the fighting application of this technique? Following on from that, if it is meant to be an attack, how do you find the technique affects the thrusting power/force if it is used as an attack? It will obviously be less powerful than a solid two-handed thrust, but does it still have enough force to be useful in sparring? Thanks.
I don't think this would be the most practical movement in sparring. Although with that said, I really haven't given it the chance or experimented in such a context. I think you'll have more vulnerabilities than opportunities if you use this techniques, especially if you throw the spear. Once it's out of your hands, you have nothing until you can recover it. I will say that the only practical reason I have for this configuration is if you do not have the ability to turn your body or switch hands, or just limited space... like a trick shot in billiards... other than that it looks pretty cool in forms.
Cool technique to practice
*Achievement unlocked*
Thank you master

You kno ive always wondered how ppl did this
They can throw with one hand, but this may look like caveman killing mammoth. so chinese kungfu use back instead hehe.
