Y'know, I wonder if people ever really retain a lot of those 'I learned this for this movie I was working on' types of skills after the fact, especially if they moved on to a different project that has nothing to do with it.

Like I remember hearing interviews where Michelle Pfieffer actually had to train using a whip for her Catwoman role back in the day. I wouldn't be surprised if she can't do that nowadays, so many years later, but I mean what about 2 or 5 years after filming Batman Returns. Would she still have retained some of that back then?

As for Will, pretty sure that was Cuck Fu strike# 5, the Puss-Lee Chop. Doesn't cause much harm to the victim, it only causes a brief moment of confusion. It has the drawback that it makes the user suddenly feel as if they achieved a higher form of machismo enlightenment, while everyone around the individual sees the opposite. Kind of a 'yeah, that'll show em' attitude, if you will, while the rest of the world points and laughs. But such is the life of the cuck.
