andre.balian Posted August 24, 2012 at 06:34 AM Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 at 06:34 AM Here I am again. I can't find the middle character. Not even sure what the radicals are... I've tried several things and come up empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gharial Posted August 24, 2012 at 01:31 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 at 01:31 PM 風 is a traditional radical (Kangxi 182), and more hidebound dictionaries might not allow you look it up under any "alternative" radicals (the possible inclusion of a total stroke count index will get around this problem, however. The Far East C-E and ABC ECCE are two Kangxi-based dictionaries that both include total stroke count indexes, but FWIW, of the two, only the ABC ECCE allows the bonus of simplified character look-up in addition). It has been retained as a simplified radical, in the 4-stroke form of 风. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_redman Posted August 25, 2012 at 07:36 PM Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 at 07:36 PM Internet searches look like 旋风腿 is really a "tornado kick". Is that the same as a crescent kick? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=%E6%97%8B%E9%A3%8E%E8%85%BF&lr=lang_en http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/540_kick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre.balian Posted August 28, 2012 at 04:24 AM Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 at 04:24 AM Thanks everybody, I'm not sure why I couldn't find that one. I should've recognized 'wind'. redman, tornado kick isn't the same as crescent kick, but it's a more advanced combination of 2 crescent kicks. Many of the english translations are not great.
