"... with practice and stealth, the opponent is quickly disarmed and rendered harmless. This two-step, minimalist, approach requires only a cowardly choking attack from the rear (Step 1), followed by a firm poke to the sole of the right foot (Step 2). Practitioners be warned, this technique will fail if either step is omitted or the order of steps reversed. Similarly, poking the wrong foot in the second step (Step 2) will provide unexpected results. This is also true of jabbing or pointing (see Chapter 3). The advanced student, with a vigorous application of the first step (Step 1), may forgo the second step (Step 2)."
From "New American Guide to Wu-Shu Style," Raymond J. Candle, Xanadu Press, 1979.
