Six Sealing and Four Closing-This is a two-handed technique. Assuming that we are in contact with the opponent by using the hand hands to control him/her. Assuming the right hand catches the opponent’s elbow, while the left hand catches the opponent’s wrist.
Cross-assuming the the opponent’s arm is in between our two hands, by crossing the hands, we break the arm.
Rub-Failing to break, we do a small twist as if rubbing.
Jerk-Both hands act as one, using both elbows as leading point to issue a quick and powerful yanking action.
Break-When the opponent’s arm becomes stiff and powerful, apply the same breaking action as the above crossing action. This time it is much shorter, almost causing a vibration.
Poke-In the end, when the opponent’s power and movements are at the end (no more strength or stretch) we throw the opponent back using the whole arm as a stick.
