For example, if you do an outward block, you can use the arm as a guide to reach the neck without need for a visual contact since you can just follow the arm to reach the neck. Another example might be to do a hammer to the groin and slide right up to the chin with an elbow while the strike stays 'out of sight' for the opponent. It's more of an EPAK term. http://www.bakerfamily4.net/kenpo/terms.htm#idx_C Contouring is when you use one limb or part of a body as a guide to target another.

The crane for me is more about disrupting the attacker's balance and due to my emphasis on the non strength aspect of this animal i tend to move out of the way more with my cranes I look at the leopard more than the crane to have the opponent run into strikes when i am thinking of quick and solid power blows, slamming into the attacker from varying angles.

As kempo practitioners we want to use certain physical attributes to our advantage. Getting to the side or behind our attacker allows us to manipulate the situation without the attacker "knowing what we did or if we can do it again", to borrow a phrase from prof Rebelo. Sight obstruction is the reason for setting up the head the way we do whether it be a tiger claw or palm to the face (attacker can't see through your hand) or a backfist to the temple (turning their head to the side). When we evaluate what makes kempo "kempo" I believe sight obstruction is one of those underlying principles. Marlon I believe this is one of those staples that makes kempo “kempo”.
