The da cheui is synonymous with bin cheui or flailing strike. It is used in a lot of styles.
A good use in CLF is striking ribs or solar plexus in a takedown move. I like to train this combo:
Your partner steps in with a left lead and attacks. Deal with the attack anyway you can while stepping outside and behind his lead foot with your right. If you arrive while he is still stepping it becomes a foot sweep. If he has already settled, you use your leg to trap him in place while the da cheui knocks him backward. You can simultaneously drag his foot forward (your crossover stance) to unbalance him with the strike.
Da cheui is a fan sau technique, meaning that it moves away from your center, so the fist first has to be brought down or across your chest. This preparatory move is also a strike. I practice by keeping it very close to the body, grazing my ribs all the way, but in use it can be a kidney strike with the knuckles scraping the opponent's ribs (further unbalancing) befort the da cheui flails out.
