Furious Ming performing Paralyzing palm
Paralyzing Palm is one of the two support styles that can be learned in the Black Leopard School, the other being Hidden Fist. It is associated with the Way of the Open Palm and is taught by Master Radiant after defeating Master Smiling Hawk. As the name implies, an enemy hit with Paralyzing Palm is completely immobilized for a few seconds. The power attack is a two-handed punch and the area attack releases a wave of energy affecting all enemies around the user. Both attacks are very slow, however.
In order to perform a harmonic combination through Paralyzing Palm the player must first use its power attack and follow up with a power attack of a martial style, which will produce a Chi Orb.

Alternatively, learned after defeating Grand Inquisitor Jia if the Lotus Assassin Fortress is visited first. It is still available only if following the Way of the Open Palm
In-Game Description[]
This esoteric style has a sinister reputation, but many more peaceful masters prefer it for its ability to render an opponent helpless without killing him. More unscrupulous masters take advantage of this style's paralyzing blows to weaken foes for the killing blow. It is designed around its magical palm strikes, which can stop a man in his tracks with a single hit.
