Returning Dragon has been changed from the original Tracy’s Technique which is a shoulder grab from the side followed by a kick to the ribs then a kick to the knee. This technique was changed to meet the needs of today’s street and is more effective to use.
Returning Dragon is one of the hardest techniques to learn in Yellow belt. This technique is a side attack but can be used for a shoulder grab from any direction.
Facing 12:00 you need to make sure that you pivot to face 3:00 in softbow as you clear the arm away. Strike the neck into horse, back to softbow as you cradle and crush.
When you forearm your opponent you be pushing them away and off balance until the neck reaches the tips of your fingers then pull them into your knee as you step out to 12:00. This will keep your opponent off balance and unable to counter your move with any authority. Drop into a softbow as you do an elbow strike to the back.
Students/Instructors: Watch the soft bows; I should see 4 soft bows as you pivot from strike to strike. If the opponent is to close step back if they are too far step in otherwise just pivot into a softbow as you block.
In this technique you are using both circular as well as drop of body weight as your power pattern. When practicing watch your softbows, instructors correct is needed.
