COTTON PALM, BOSOM FIST AND MANTIS HOOK

In advanced combat the Praying Mantis hook can be used for "dim mark", or dotting vital points
Having confused an opponent with Cotton Palm you may attack him with Tan Fang’s Ear Strike, followed by a Crushing Fist. If he is well trained, when you close and coverhim, he may attack you with kicks. You may respond with a Bosom Strike to his groin, which is similar to Monkey Stealing Peaches except that you use a fist instead of a Monkey paw or claw. At advanced levels, the Praying Mantis Hook can be used for dim mark, or dotting vital points.
