THE 10 SEEDS OF THE CHOY LEE FUT SYSTEM AS HANDED DOWN FROM THE
AMERICAN HUNG SING KWOON
HEADQUARTERED IN SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
UNDER GRAND MASTER DINO SALVATERA

Chop Choy :  A stabbing like punch very similar to a boxers jab.  This strike can be used with a solid fist, or what is described as a Panther fist .  Typical Chop Choy's  are the Yum Chop-which is a downwards angled strike using a "corkscrewing" motion  that can be launched from either  the waist or behind the ear with the thumb side of the fist pointed downwards.  The other Chop Choy is the Yeung Chop, the opposite of the Yum Chop, meaning it travels in an upward motion, with the thumb side upwards.

Both the SOLID fist and the PANTHER fist are interchangeable and the basic targets are the ribs, Solar Plexus, Stomach, Chin, Nose, Throat, etc. and can be used in conjunction with each other.

Pow Choy: More in lines of an very wide swinging uppercut.  Typically aimed up the center, this strike can be used to strike low and travel upwards...damaging everything in its path.  This can be used as a single strike or in a continous manner driving your opponent back, and can be done at any angle.

Kup Choy:  A strike similar to the Sow Choy except for the fact that its angle is straight up and down like from 12 to 6 on the face of a clock.  The striking surface of this technique is the 1st row of knuckles- or the Knuckles used to knock on a door with.  This strike is designed to crush and tear at the flesh of an opponent. 

Ding: This is an elbow strike, however, any attack using the major joints such as a knee, or the shoulder is also referred to as a "Ding" type of technique. This technique is another of the versatile ones able to be executed from any angle in conjunction with other techniques.   It can be used in a thrusting motion,  for cutting, or even smashing.

Biu (Jong): This is an upward swinging (shooting) forearm strike using the inside surface of the fist and more than half of your forearm.  Typically used to strike the torso with the intention to break ribs,  or even up-root  someone, this technique can also be used to attack the limbs or head of an opponent. 

Jong:  This is a short style uppercut which gains its power from  its upward motion    and can be executed successively.

Kum:  This is an open palm technique designed to press or push down on or even pin a limb to the torso of an opponent, but this is similar to boxing's "Parry."

Kwa Choy:  A powerfully swinging downwards back fist utilizing the 2nd row of knuckles.  This technique is used in conjunction with other techniques, but its typically used to strike the face, nose, chest, or limbs.  This is a great technique when applied with force.  If used correctly, it's a great way to crash through someone's guard.

Sow Choy: A long range inward sweeping punch.  A very powerful technique and considered by many to be Choy Lee Fut's signature move.  There are 3 methods of using this technique.  All are used with a closed solid fist, but the difference lies within the angles.  You can use the first two knuckles of the fist, the knuckles you knock on a door with, or the first three inches of the wrist and forearm.  Typically, the angle of this technique is 45 degree's, but can be thrown at varying angles as well.  The targets are the Temple, the Jaw, the neck or the base of the skull.

Na:   This means to Grab, as in wrist and joint locks.
