We are learning the Kung Fu Tiger Crane 108 as our secondary project in class (Laojia Yilu is our primary focus). The first section of the 108 is Poison Hands, a study of just the blocking movements with the hands.

The names (translations) we use are as follows. So far, I’ve had no luck finding Chinese names.

• Suppress the Tiger Hide the Dragon
• Beauty Looks in the Mirror
• Crosswind Bends the Willow
• Push the Flower Up the Sleeve
• One Finger Divides China
• Press Ten Thousand Pounds
• Dragon Leaps from the Sea
• Dragon Plays in the Water
• Four Fingers Face the Sky
• Dragon Serves the Pearl
• Dragon Spits the Pearl

Repeat on the other side, except after Dragon Serves the Pearl comes Wind Punching Method. Video resources:
