When they hear or see the term 9 Yum White Bone Claws, they will think of Mui Chiu Fung or Chow Chi Yerk.
Sometimes, however, characters have secondary skills that are not showcased as often and are easily forgotten, but ARE nevertheless part of the characters' repertoires. For example, Prince Deun Jing Tsun is mostly associated with 1 Yeung Finger Technique, but he also had that palm technique that he taught to his lover Chun Hung Min and later demonstrated to their daughter Muk Yeun Ching to ascertain the latter's identity. Similarly, while North Beggar Hung 7 Gung is mostly associated with Hong Lung 18 Palms and Dog Beating Stick Technique, he also had a less-often-used Siu Yiu Fist Technique that he taught to Muk Lim Chi.
What other notable examples of lesser-known, secondary skills of characters can you think of?
