1st technique

1a.      The opponent (right) throws a left jab towards Sifu Garry (left).  Sifu Garry deflects with a right hammerfist, closing the opponent’s centerline. Notice that Sifu Garry’s left phoenix eye fist is snaking under preparing to strike! This is to be done as one technique.
 

1b.      Sifu Garry quickly half-steps in towards the opponent and locks his knee/leg with his, to up root and throw the opponent off balance.  Sifu Garry’s left phoenix eye punch slides up the arm, keeping pressure and pushing the opponent further off balance whilst attacking the ribs with his right phoenix eye fist. This technique is done with Geng Jak Ging (shock power).
 

1c.      This is the relaxed transition between the soft (yau) state to a hard (kung) move. This move is done from a very short distance away, or even touching the opponent.  The distance in this picture is to show you Sifu Garry’s hands and to demonstrate that he still has control over the opponent’s body as he has bridged via the leg.
 

1d.      Sifu Garry explodes into a cutting hand technique to the throat and lower ribs as he pushes forwards in his stance and penetrates the opponent’s centre. The cutting hand strike will saw across the throat, using the whole forearm from the hand to the elbow.  Simultaneously Sifu Garry’s right palm and forearm will sink and cut across the body in a motion that resembles cutting the opponent in half. This technique is called gou gin sau (scissor hands) or can be called seip sau.
 

2nd technique

2a.      As the opponent (left) reaches forward, Sifu Garry opens up his inside centerline by flicking outwards with his phoenix eye fists, controlling his forearm bridges.
 

2b.      Sifu Garry rebounds off the opponent's inner forearms, stepping in with two vertical phoenix eye punches.  This can be a deadly technique.
 

2c & d. After hitting the opponent, Sifu Garry seizes his left wrist and uses a smashing bridge technique (soy kuil) just above the elbow to break the arm.
 

2e.      Using sinking power Sifu Garry’s right arm rebounds of the opponent's arm in a sawing motion, striking the side of the head with a phoenix eye fist.  There are many pressure points on the face that could cause serious injury, but even a hit that is not specifically aimed at a point will cause pain.
 

2f.      Sifu Garry launches forward, driving his knee up and in towards the opponent's heart.
 

2g.      Immediately after the knee (without dropping the leg) Sifu Garry side kicks to the opponent's inner lead leg.
 

2h.      The opponent drops to the ground as Sifu Garry lands his leg and sinks, while putting pressure on the opponent's shoulder to retain control or dislocate.
