For a whipmaster...

I know how to use a bullwhip pretty well. Above average at least, but I am not a master of the terminology or anything like that. I was wondering if anybody out there knows and could tell me exactly what moves Harrison Ford is executing with the bullwhip in the Cairo street fight and in what order.

Also, if anybody has access to the "Making of" video and knows what moves he is executing in off camera/cut scene footage, that would be helpful as well.

I can get some good snapping cycles out of my bullwhips, but I just know that I am not executing any patterns from the scenes in Raiders and I'd really like to know what those are.
