Marlon Wilson drew my attention to this video in which GM Villari demonstrates what he references as combination 97, but has also been taught as combination 95. To my mind, it seems like a variant of combination 22, but with more of a ‘tiger’ flair to it. Its the first technique on the video.

I see the combination 22 aspect in the ending. The beginning reminds me of a kempo called “Wounded Tiger.” Different footwork, but the result is same, side stepping, or slipping, the punch in order to allow the uke to come in closer for the followup strikes.
The Tiger principle I get from these two techniques, is that the tiger does not retreat, or yield. It will slip the incoming attack in order to deliver powerful strikes. Double punch to the side of the head in this case, and a ripping tigers mouth strike in the case of the Wounded Tiger kempo.
