Colourful movement names!

[TigerCrane NYC]

Kung-fu is rife with beautifully colourful, descriptive names for many of its moves.

I thought it would be fun to have everyone list their favourite and most colourful movement name they've come across. If you can include a picture, that would be great, too.

Sorry if this has been done before, or been done to death.

I'll start with one I've recently come across:

The Immortal Points The Way. I couldn't find a good picture of this online, unfortunately. :(

Shaved is an extra beautiful component of that one.

I have earned a Pink belt in that style...

Really? All I've earned is a bronze ring.

And the only way you can put it on is by jamming your fist straight through.
