beat deflects and displaces the opponent\u2019s attack while providing a point of contact from which further attack can issue.\u00a0 \u201cThe Cow horn strike\u201d is designed to attack the temples, the side of the carotid plexus, the arm pit, and the short ribs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>O-Lo Chiu &#8211; \u201cUrn Hand Strike\u201d:<\/strong><\/span> This is a hooking attack that uses the flat of the fist and knuckle bridge to pierce soft tissue and rupture organs, specifically the gall bladder and spleen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Sang Tui Kun &#8211; \u201cFalling\/Planting Strike\u201d:<\/strong><\/span> This downward strike is extremely dangerous for several reasons.\u00a0 First, it can be hidden beneath either the attacker\u2019s bridge arm or your own.\u00a0 As such, it is an ever-present danger to the opponent.\u00a0 Second, the Falling punch, due to its downward attack being in line with gravity, doubles your striking force. When striking low targets, your attack will be received by the upward pushing internal force of the opponent\u2019s pelvic floor muscles. When the impact of your strike and the upward, gravity-resisting muscular contraction of the pelvic floor combine, the resulting impact may cause tears and hemorrhage in the opponent. This danger increases with the age of the opponent since the pelvic floor muscles often weaken in later life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Hong Gan Chiu &#8211; \u201cPhoenix-Eye Strike\u201d:<\/strong><\/span> This one-knuckle strike is designed to apply the same angle tactics of the previous strikes with the added danger of a pinpoint focused power strike for maximum penetration and tissue damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Pa Chat &amp; Kua Chat &#8211; \u201cLevel &amp; Reaping Elbow Strike\u201d:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0These 2 attacks are covered as one emergency sucker-punch style strike due to the diminishing surface area of the practitioner\u2019s bridge arm.\u00a0 After having used any of the previous 4 strikes the Level &amp; Reaping elbow strikes fall automatically behind the fist.\u00a0 This affords the Ngo Cho practitioner the advantage of naturally\u00a0having a two-to-one striking ratio to the opponent in all single beats of attack or defense. In regard to an edged weapon attack, the Level &amp; Reaping elbow strikes also function as shielding actions that defend and cover the 3 vital bleeding zones of the body: the radial, brachial, and carotid artery zones.\u00a0 Additionally, these motions also strike the opponent at the same time they provide defensive cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A student well initiated into the fundamentals of Ngo Cho Kun begins cultivating these skills and far more in the first form Sam Chien.
