It needs much skill to apply "Bar the Big Boss" effectively against a powerful whirlwind kick
The Organ-Seeking Kick, executed by the pattern "Yellow Bird Drinks Water" for example, is a deadly technique, and is very effective in a pressing attack or in a response to a pressing attack. A good counter is "Trim Bamboo with Roots".
On the other hand, if you practice "Chop the Hua Mountain" 50 times a day for six months, you may end the combat as soon as an ordinary person attacks you with a right punch. You would have closed him in such a manner with your "Single Tiger" that he has no way to escape. But to a trained person, the response is simple. As in daily life, you can solve the problem by just stepping back one step. You can then counter with a whirlwind kick.
