18. Ding-jeung: Choy Li Fut Kung Fu Techniques

"Ding-jeung", also known as "Pressing Palm" or "Shovel Palm", is a technique used in martial arts, including Choy Li Fut Kung Fu. It involves a striking motion with the palm of the hand, typically targeting the lower ribs or kidneys of an opponent. When performing "Ding-jeung" with the right hand, the fingers are pointed horizontally to the right, while the palm is used to deliver a pressing or shoveling motion towards the target area, such as the lower ribs or kidneys of the opponent. The intent is to generate enough force to disrupt the opponent's balance, cause pain, or potentially incapacitate them. "Ding-jeung" is typically used in close-range combat situations, and it requires proper technique, accuracy, and training to effectively deliver the strike with sufficient power and precision. It may be used as a standalone technique or as part of a combination or sequence of movements in martial arts forms or applications.
