yea..
There is a "cross kick" in the third section after the third set of cloud hands after snake spits out it's tongue
I've confused that with the lotus kick that comes a bit later.. but honestly; I'm not that sure about the difference anymore.. my bad.
Help me out here please Wayne
Maybe it's a CPL thing as in both cases they are followed by bend bow shoot tiger in what I tend to follow.
Or maybe it's just something I've started doing myself as I kind of stopped paying attention to 'official' choreography.
using this posture list as reference point :
https://shorelinetaichi.com/yang-style- ... ures-list/73 and 80 the two kicks I'm thinking about. There's a few differences, but essentially similar ?
edit: I just saw Michael and Doc talked about them both..it's kind of the same kick to me I guess, just how you get into it is a bit different.
The way I've seen my HK wu teacher do it (lotus) is he does the sweep then deliberately kind of does the crescent kick in a 'seperate' fashion.
the application is 'sweep the lotus' which is the front low sweep primarily rather than the in to out round kick. which in that system can also be used in reverse... well any system really.
Mostly though it's done 'as one' in Yang, from what I recall. It's just speculation from me now, but maybe it's formally 'cross kick' and not 'lotus' because it doesn't include the sweep idea.. no big deal though I guess.
