This comprehensive course will unveil:

• The True "Mountain Punch" (Yamazuki): Forget the watered-down "Up Punch." We dissect the real meaning and application of the Yamazuki, revealing its power not as a standalone strike, but as a crucial tool for wrist manipulation, body turning, and setting up debilitating follow-up attacks.

• The Versatile Low Crane Stance: Explore a powerful and often overlooked variation of the Crane stance, dropped lower for increased stability and the deployment of a lightning-fast, close-to-the-target low kick (akin to a "jab" with the leg).

• The "Snake Kick" Deception: Discover how the low Crane stance can be used to launch a deceptive "snake kick" to the groin, capitalizing on the Crane's elusive nature to strike unexpectedly.
