I learned the equivalent of the "crane kick" as a yellow belt in the ATA!

I don't know who put the blocks in the story, but I believe the martial arts coordinator was Pat Johnson of Tang Soo Do, and Pat Morita's double was Fumio Demura of Shito Ryu. Both men are highly respected in the martial arts world. |

Jumping front kick- I learned it in TKD too. However it isn't the same as the crane kick with the high hands. It was made up for the movie

Yes, the jump front kick. They just added flair to it by having ol' Ralph Macchio hold his hands up in the air.

The art form used in Karate Kid was from Shito-Ryu (so I have read somewhere) and notice "Miyagi" is also the name of one of SHito-Ryu's masters...
just my 2 cents

The "paint a fence" movements are called "chicken blocks" in my style, although I never really knew why. That name does not seem as universal though. There may be another name for it in other styles.

When I studied Taiji in the past, we did a movement called Single Whip. The hand formed with the fingertips together, and the hard area of wrist-forearm connection could be used as a block, which is what I felt I essentially saw in the movie. (Technically, it's hard enough to give someone a good jolt if it's whacked against the temple in a sideways strike motion.) I remember discovering that some individuals lift the hand with the fingertips together and rapidly "peck" at the eye; I tried it against coins I used to tape on the wall for spearhand practice and it does work.
All Taiji instructors don't teach alike, of course, but a friend of mine who was studying Taiji in the past would say, when performing Single Whip, that he was "grasping the bird seed" (as his instructor would say) and then raise his arm out in that hooked hand form.
Maybe a Taiji person in the forum could give more explanation.
