Shenmue II[]

When Ryo Hazuki is seeking martial arts to learn about the wude, he can meet Jianmin Tao at the Lotus Park. If this is the first encounter with Jianmin, he will spar with Ryo. After that, he will teach Ryo the Iron Palm strike. Ryo then asks about the wude, which Jianmin requests for Ryo to practise the Iron Pam move against the tree until the leaves fall. After plenty of training Jianmin approaches Ryo and informs him of the wude GON.

Gameplay[]

Training for Iron Palm is a mini-game that is a one time only event. It is played with Ryo focusing on the meter at the bottom left of the screen rising and falling. The player must press when the meter is at it's peak for Ryo to strike the tree. Once the level bar is full, the mini-game will be completed.

Ryo can quit practicing the move, but Jianmin will not teach him the wude until the mini-game is completed. He will then have to practice again by pressing the X button (or Square for the PS4 version) when near the tree and complete the event to learn the wude.

In the Dreamcast version of Shenmue II, the level bar is shown on the VMU (Visual Memory Unit) screen on your controller. The Xbox version and Shenmue I & II have the level bar in the middle of the meter on the bottom left of the screen.
