Two views of Tan Sao, Palm up hand, sometimes known as "begging hand"
Photo 1
As Dean throws a straight puch, sifu Bee steps to one side, while  covering the hand with slap block and low strike.
Photo 2
the low puching hand then rolls up into Tan sao structure to cover the arm, thereby maintaining contact while the slap block hand fires out to a plam strike to Deans throat.
Photo 3
the palm strike now traps the arm again, by pressing down, as Sifu Betteridge  covers the Tan sao to a straight punch
Photo 2
rolling the Bon sao over into Tan sao, allows Precious to clear the line, for her own attack

turning the Tan into a grab, as she steps in to close the distance, and power her elbow as it rolls into a strike to the throat

Precious finally finishes off with a lesser known technique "tan sao strike", unlike the pounding effect of a fist, the immense power generated by the open hand smashes into her opponents cheek
