What is the history of one legged hand strikes?. I haven`t learned 9 Step Push yet but what I gather is they do like a right leg bow stance right hand backhand strike to the face, followed up with a neck strike with the same stance but you shift all your weight on your right leg while your left leg kicks your ass the power rotates and shifts into your right hand neck strike.
They do it in 9 Step Push I`m one form behind with Ying Jow so I get one leg strikes are an advanced move like I`ve seen a few 9 step push on youtube that lacks power or some kenpo guy learned 2 years after training with someone who learned for 4 years. Jik Bo, Sub Jee, Sam Mor Kun and Ying Jow all involve moving fast through solid stances, also you only train a few basic kicks until you get to intermediate level fast footwork in Jik Bo is the main goal until you get to 9 step push.
So, I know twist stance is used for sneaky footwork steps after and setting up hitting with horse stance and bow stance power moves from the Hop Gar combos I learned in the 1990`s. I remember always liking the one legged hand strikes from the old Shaolin Monk demo`s back when they first went on David Lettermen.
