The Application of Mantis Hook Hand 2

A mantis hook hand intercepts the opponent's assault by sticking and grabbing the wrist of the punching hand using 4 fingers: thumb, middle, ring and little finger. These 4 fingers gripping correspond to the contour of the wrist. So, such gripping action is very firm indeed. Refering to the illustration above, once you have hook(1) the opponent's wrist, grapple(2) it in a slant manner to the side. Then with the same hand punching(3) forward unto the opponent's face.
