Do sau

Here is one move from the Luk Lik (six strengths) form.  A lot of people see this move and they say, "What is that for?" or think it is an awkward movement. Most children will automatically think of a "Karate chop" to the neck or something. Basically you are using your hand to chop like a knife. This isn't exclusively a "Karate" move of course but that is the system that has some of the best marketing. It's like how all flying discs are now called Frisbees and all tissues are now called Kleenex. Anyway, you can do a lot with this one move, maybe that's why it is such a stereotypical or iconic martial arts pose.
