Falling Leaves Kung Fu students Will and Jonathan train some "sticky leg" during our martial arts classes from this Sunday at our Tempe, Arizona facility. Sticky leg drills are used to develop both offense and defense within the "shuai" 摔 section of training. Shuai is often tranlated as "wrestling" and can include trips, sweeps, throws and various take downs, similar to Judo or Jiu-Jitsu.

This Sunday's class focused on our basic exercises (jibengong 基本功) 11-15, which is the required content for student level 2, but since we were working on footwork and stepping anyway, I had us train some sticky leg as well.
