Foot Note

1. jing~ lan/, "well, block", there are several similar sounding but different words with distinct semantics in-use for this move, lately I like the simple interpretation of "downward (into the water well) block"

2. bian- pao\, “whip, cannon”, can also mean firecracker in Chinese. However, the translator feels that as the name of the cannon fist movement, it is more appropriate to translate it just as whip cannon in this context.

3. ma- mei/ hong/, “Rub, eyebrow, red”, attack the opponent’s eyebrow and make it red with blood, I suppose.
