Trapping is a specialty of a Wing Chun Practitioner.

Trapping is immobilization your opponent by tying them up like a pretzel. You can use trapping of the arms, body, legs, and even the mind. Arm trapping pins your opponents arms so they cannot return a strike or use there power. Trapping skills can be applied in stand up or ground fighting situations. Wing Chun kung fu practitioners do not force the trap, or struggle to create a trap, although when the opportunity to create a trap appears they instinctually take advantage of the gift in front of them. Trapping is only one great part of the wing chun system.
