STARTING LATER ARRIVING EARLIER
Starting Later Arriving Earlier
This is Sequence 7, called “Chop the Hua Mountain”. In the thrust punch, for example, the uninitiated looking at a fixed picture of the combat situation, may think that Grandmaster Wong is too far from his target. But actually Grandmaster Wong's punch could penetrate the opponent's heart, hence it is called “chuin sam choi” (Cantonese pronunciation) or “penetrating heart punch”.
Steve successfully avoids the “penetrating heart punch” by shifting his body backward without moving his feet. As he counter-attacks, he finds himself being hit instead, because Grandmaster Wong employs the tactic of “starting later arriving earlier”. Grandmaster Wong explains that he deflects, not blocks, Steve's chopping attack. Had Sifu Wong blocked, his arm could be fractured by Steve's chop.
