TechniqueName: kick, hooking, take, eyes, <br><br>Wipe the eybrows is part of the routine BaFanShou and is explained in the QuanPu as a palm strike to the eyes, nose or forehead to hyperextend the neck: <br>"This posture links with the pulling hand technique in application Having pulled the opponent’s right hand, I step my left foot forward to hook his right foot (his right foot being forward) and use my left palm to do a pouncing strike to his face If the strike is toward the eyes, it will produce tears, or if to the nose, there will be bleeding from his nose If the strike is to his forehead, it will make his face turn upward, and crushing downward at that point will then cause him to fall This kind of issuing is called “rubbing the forehead” or “wiping the brow”, common terms in Chinese martial arts<br>The “rubbing” energy has to do with tightly pushing on the opponent’s forehead as he tries to escape by tilting his head back It is like drawing a semicircle from inward to outward as though flopping the hand over in a waving gesture, following through from the pouncing energy with all five fingers covering and crushing down on his head, keeping him from escaping " <br><br>Some QuanPu name this technique 'take the eyes' or 'reach out for the stars' whereas the stars may be a symbol for the eyes. <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br> <br><br>
