(Lifting punch) Found in Cham Kiu, the lifting punch is used to strike under and up on the ribs an sternum, or may be used as an uppercut type of punch into the jaw and neck.

(Absorbing hand) Found in the third or Saam-Kei-Fat section, and sixth and seventh sections of Scott Baker's Siu-Nim-Tou, and in the third and sixth of others. It is also found in the 10 (first) section of Muk Jan Zong. Generally Tan Sau is used to deflect high to middle circling punches or straight in punches. It may also be used as a weapon, to strike the throat. Ip Chun uses the character (taan), which translated, means to spread out, open, divide out, or apportion. I have herein chosen the one which I feel represents the true nature of the Tan.

(Kick)

(Disciple's position) Name given to those students who are studying Muk Jan Zong, Luk Bun Dim Gon, and Baat Zaam Dou. A disciple is also considered, within some Wing Chun systems, to be a Sifu.

Tok Sau

(Lifting Hand)

(Lift with the palm hand) Found in the fourth and seventh sections of Siu-Nim-Tou. As found in the fourth section, the Tok Sau is used to lift against an attack, pushing the opponent's hand up and towards he/she, thus attacking and controlling the centerline. In the seventh section, the Tok follows the Gyun Sau, and is used to hook a kick.

(Thrust forward stepping) Used to rapidly close the gap on an opponent. May also be used to knock over someone.

(Freeing hand) Found as the opening movements of the last section of Siu-Nim-Tou. The movements are used to dislodge a double arm grab by striking the opponents wrist, in combination with a Jyun Sau by the arm held. The strike can be used to break the wrist bones of the opponent.
