“Making Flower” is a very useful composite technique comprising of a few different techniques. If you are skillful in applying this composite technique, it can be very formidable for both attack and defence.

As there are numerous different ways of making flowers, you can confuse your opponent by changing from one way to another, often without your opponent realizing the subtle changes. You may, for example, use “close flowers” with your right hand in front, then suddenly change to “open flowers” with your left hand in front. The video series here provide many examples of such changes
