TRAPPING BADGER
SERIES
By Initiateur Jilgero
Trapping Badger refers to a group of sets designed to counter frontal kick
attacks to the groin. The first (2) TB sets counter the “fouette face”: a
snapping, frontal, rising kick to the groin. The last (3) TB sets counter the
“coup direct”: a more powerful, straight legged, rising kick to the groin.
Themes and intentions:
The Trapping Badgers are meant to “bait” or “draw” a straight kick to the groin.
The malice associated with this series is that you are starting a fight by
baiting him into making the first, stupid, predictable move and then countering
it with extreme prejudice When you practice, keep in mind that you would never
just stand there with your feet and legs wide apart waiting to have your
testicles crushed by a kick. To pull this off keep a couple things in mind:
Security distance - Do not let him get arm's length close to you to throw his
kick. Your distance-reaction-time (DRT- the time you have to react to a fast
approaching threat) decreases the closer he gets. Maintain your security
distance. If he gets too close without doing anything but encroaching, you must
throw the first shot.
Watch his telegraphs - Many people drop their shoulders back when they throw a
frontal kick. Keep a vertical peripheral vision on his torso and shoulders.
The Sets
Against a right-leg fouette face to the groin: The zipotero pivots his body as
he catches (shelves) the kicking leg with his left arm, trapping it up high. He
clasp hooks his left hand over the top of the attacker's foot, gripping across
the top of the instep. With his right hand, he cups the heel in his palm. With
both hands securing the attacker's foot, he twists the foot clockwise 180
degrees. If the opponent does not turn left on his supporting foot, ligaments of
the right ankle and knee will be torn. With the foot still secured with two
hands, the zipotero then steps through with a Lamiak and pushes the opponent to
the ground.
Against a right-leg fouette face to the groin: The zipotero pivots his body as
he catches the kicking leg with his left arm, trapping (shelving) it upon his
left shoulder. The zipotero then pulls the foot and leg down over his shoulder.
This will cause enough traumas to break bones, tear ligaments, and drop the
attacker to the ground.
Against a right-leg coup direct to the groin: The zipotero pivots clockwise,
catching the attacker's leg and trapping (shelving) it up over his left
shoulder. The zipotero then delivers a right-leg chasse lateral to the
attacker's supporting leg.
Against a right-leg coup direct to the groin: The zipotero pivots clockwise,
catching the attacker's leg and trapping (shelving) it chest height. Then, the
zipotero slams a right-forearm coude (elbow) into the front of the thigh of the
attacker's kicking leg. The zipotero then releases the attacker's leg just in
time to deliver a right-leg fouette to the attacker's midsection.
Against a right-leg coup direct to the groin: This time, the zipotero pivots
counter-clockwise (to his right) as he catches the attacker's leg with his right
arm and traps it over his right shoulder. At this point the zipotero has (2)
options. He may:
Step back with his left foot, placing it behind the foot of the attacker's left
supporting leg. This will knock the attacker off balance and onto his back.
Step back with his left foot, stepping upon the foot of the attacker's
supporting leg. A push back will knock the attacker off his balance and onto his
back. CAUTION: When practicing this version take your foot OFF your partner's
foot when he falls. If you keep your foot on his, you will tear the ligaments of
his left instep and ankle when you push him to the ground.
