HK po paai sau and WCH po paai sau are 2 different techniques. WC guys in most of the branches call po paai sau a technique that we call wu dip jeung, "butterfly palms".

btw., po paai sau is one of my long time favourites

btw., guys: how do you translate and explain the name, po paai sau 破排手?

and - here is a clip of WCH po paai sau (= HK wu dip jeung):

hi "O", mad at you? ha ha, not at all, everybody loves "O"

i have checked the thread again, ok:

- "break rib hand" - yes, paai gwat = spareribs, but the standard strike, as shown in the drawing, is upper gate. text also does not speak about strike to the ribs (like jak jeung)

- "sideways tiger claw push or break or strike" - not really translation (and similar to mine, ha ha)

"po" is kind of clear, but the problem is with paai character. any ideas?

here are the pics fo reference:





all the best

My understanding is that po paai sau is not exactly a specific technique.
Paai was described to me like a bundle or row of something -- if I remember could be used for something like a raft.. how all the sticks are together.

You could imagine a bunch of sticks/poles in the ground and you are attacking(breaking?) each one while moving between them.

Anyway, my understanding is that it is describing a group/type of movements which are sometimes linked together..
