Some differences in NSL 10

Gene,

Some alternate names or additions to existing lyrics

#7 Black Dragon coils its body, Pulls straps
#13 We have on the last part, Wonder Boy salutes Buddha
#16 after forward step, we have Grab leg, etc.
You are missing #19 which maybe what you have… Double Bang Flying Kick, fall to the ground, sit on horse, Block and Strike.
#22 Instead of Single Leg Stance, We have Single Cross Kick.
#23 Instead of Fighting Three Gates, we have Push three doors with two palms.
#24 after what you have , we also have at the very end of the lyric, Strike Tiger.
After #27 Here both you and I and LTH are missing a series of techniques that YSW taught:
Turn back, form a flower on left side, step on leg.
Fall to ground, sit on bowl, take a punch. (but LTH has this)
Then only you do not have:
Thru the palms, left step kick three consecutive kicks (Also called Embrace the Moon Kick) (LTH has this)-then everyone does #28, etc…

#33 Instead of left stomp kick, we use the term, Embrace the Moon Kick.
We do not have #36
#43 at the end of the lyric we have Salute to Heaven instead of Hand Salute.
#48 LTH does a left sweep only.
#49 at the end of your lyric we have consecutive punches.
You do not do a left and right sweep as YSW and LTH does, we only do a left sweep.
You do not have Grab hand, right cross kick, bow step, consecutive punches as YSW and LTH has.

#50 & #58 Instead of Yoke carries the mountain; we call it Second Brother carries up the mountain.
After #53 we have Embrace the Moon Kick which only WJM has so therefore he must have added this technique.
#59 instead of single leg stance, we call it Embrace the Moon Kick.
#60 instead of Holding the vase, we use Grab the bottle.
#61 we do a Left and Right Cross Kick (Three Consecutive Kicks)
After #64 this is where we are different:
Hold the bottom, sustain step, grab hand, and strike punch
Retreat a step, sit on horse, left block and strike.
Retreat a step, sit on horse, right block and strike.
Then we do your #65 and 66.
But then #67 we do a right lotus kick, etc.

Now LTH does not have your 65 or 66, he does back sweep, back sweep, then a front sweep then right lotus kick, etc. to end.

The differences in the ending goes back to #49 where all of us start to deviate.
