Butterfly Strike from Kenpo Crumbling Statue

 Improve your fight skills with the material in my Fight Skills 2 course.


Butterfly Strike

 

Using the “Butterfly Strike” to the kidneys is the key move in the Crumbling Statue technique. First, when done properly it’s a very painful strike as the target is the kidney. Second, the reaction you get from the strike sets up options for additional strikes, takedowns or submissions. All demonstrated in Fight Skills 2.

There are lots of ways to apply the Guillotine. This clip from my Fight Skills 2 Course shows how you can set the choke with the opponent’s collar. This might happen if your hand slips into the collar when you are sliding your hand around the opponent’s neck to setup the choke.
