why? so as to stop being hit by my opponents elbow on the side my head is going into.
Hard to describe in word but im sure the people in this discussion will get it.
This sort of thing goes on all the time in the rings of Thailand,so if thats what trapping is then i have to say there is plenty of evidence of it being a very valuable tool in a combat sport.

thats very true but its not trapping in the wing chun sense, i think thats a different ball game.In thai its used much more briefly and makes more sense.
how was your trip to thailand? you still there?
