Description
Heian Sandan develops a varied set of techniques, including inward-to-outward forearm blocks and simultaneous crossed blocks combining a middle-level block with a downward block. A spear-hand attack is followed by a wrist-grab escape that uses a full-body turn and a counterstrike. The final sequence combines a backward elbow strike with a vertical punch over the shoulder against an opponent holding the practitioner from behind.
