Donty says
Good Job!
This is a question doesn’t match with the technique of this videolesson: Is there a possibility to implement the “O Soto Gari” as a counter-attack technique in the Ngo Dac Na system?
Thanks
Larry Rivera says
Hi Donty, to answer your question: Sure you can. The technique itself isn’t as important as the energy being used. With that said, as long as the energy is in the right place you can use the ” O Soto Gari” counter attack 🙂
