Interpretation:

The depth of the following parries (1a-1c) on a visualized (stationary after attack) opponent (second person perspective) should start at wrist depth (1a), transition to elbow depth (1b), and conclude at shoulder depth (1c), but the ranges of each for yourself (first person perspective), due to your foot maneuvers should be: close range (1a), middle range (1b), and close range (1c) (not far range).

1a)

Direct your attention 90-degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward left-rear-flank) as you right rear cross-over step reverse, around (clockwise) your left foot and backward (toward right-front-flank) into a left, front, twist facing forward (toward left-rear-flank) simultaneously with a right downward parry (toward left-rear-flank), palm pointing inward (toward right-rear-flank), and with a slightly delayed, left, inward, parry (toward left-rear-flank) to face height, palm pointing outward (toward left-front-flank).

Elaboration:

The timing of the previous maneuver (1a) should be as follows: the right parry should conclude with the settle into the stance, while the left parry should conclude slightly after the settle.

Clarification:

The foot maneuver of the right foot of the previous sequence (1a) is a right rear cross-over only creating a 225-degree angle around the left leg, rather than on a straight line.

1b)

Immediately, circle (clockwise vertically) the left hand downward in a small circular motion, from upper chest height to face height, executing a left inward parry (toward left-rear-flank) to face height, palm pointing inward (toward left-front-flank), while maintaining the position of your right arm and stance, in preparation for the next maneuver.

Elaboration:

As the previous upper body maneuver (1b) almost concludes, the following upper body maneuver (1c) begins, such that the maneuvers slightly overlap in time.

1c)

Immediately, right step forward (toward left-rear-flank) into a right neutral bow facing forward (toward left-rear-flank) as you circle (clockwise vertically) your right arm upward executing a right outward parry (toward left-rear-flank) to face height, palm pointing inward (toward right-rear-flank), while simultaneously allowing your left hand to become a positional cover at right upper chest height, maintaining its same relative orientation.

Elaboration:

The timing of the previous maneuvers (1b-1c) should be the same as the starting maneuver (1a) only with the left parry (1b) concluding with the settle into the stance and the right parry (1c) concluding slightly after the settle.

1d)

Redirect your attention 90-degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward left-front-flank) with a left step forward (toward left-rear-flank) into a left, modified, wide-kneel facing forward (toward left-rear-flank) as you draw both hands diagonally-downward across your body (toward lower-right-flank) into a cup-and-saucer position at your left side, in preparation for the next maneuver.

Clarification:

The cup-and-saucer position of the previous maneuver (1d) is a standard chambered position, palm pointing upward (toward up) covered at a 90-degree angle by the opposite hand, with the opposite arm horizontally (parallel to the ground) across the body (parallel to the body), palm pointing downward (toward down).

Clarification:

The wide-kneel of the previous maneuver (1d) is called modified because the alignment and orientation is forward (toward left-rear-flank) but the attention is shifted 90-degrees (clockwise horizontally) to the right (toward left-front-flank).

Variation:

As part of the retraction of the right arm of the previous maneuver (1d), the right hand may execute a right, inward (horizontal), 2-finger hook (toward left-front-flank) to eye level, fingers pointing forward (toward left-rear-flank) and palm pointing inward (toward right-rear-flank), by slightly exaggerating the retraction of the right hand.

1e)

Immediately, shift your stance 90-degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward left-front-flank) into a right close-kneel facing forward (toward left-front-flank) with the execution of a right, thrusting, outward, back-knuckle (toward left-front-flank) to abdomen height, palm pointing toward you (toward right-rear-flank), simultaneously with a left, thrusting, vertical, punch (toward left-front-flank) to face height, palm pointing to the right (toward right-front-flank).

2)

Rotate your left hand (clockwise vertically) and simulate a grab to face height, palm pointing away from you (toward left-front-flank) and immediately drop (toward down) your left hand directly downward to lower chest height, as you simultaneously circle (clockwise vertically) your right hand toward you (toward right-rear-flank) and upward (toward upper-left-front-flank) to deliver a right, thrusting, vertical, back-knuckle to face height, palm pointing upward (toward upper-right-rear-flank) and knuckles pointing forward (toward upper-left-front-flank).

Visualization:

In essence, the right hand of the previous maneuver (2) replaces the location of the left hand, with both upper body maneuvers (2) starting and concluding their movements in-sync with one another.

Clarification:

The following sequence (3-4) should be timed to be executed as a continuously flowing series of maneuvers.

3)

Circle (counter-clockwise vertically) your right hand downward (toward down) to lower chest height and then ultimately to your left (toward left-rear-flank) to eye height, delivering a right, thrusting, inward, 2-finger, poke to your left (toward left-rear-flank), palm pointing toward you (toward right-rear-flank) and fingers pointing to your left (toward left-rear-flank).

Interpretation:

The previous maneuver (3) can be construed as a downward frictional pull (using your right forearm - relatively linearly) to a visualized opponent's right arm (to clear it out of the way); then using the same momentum to circle (counter-clockwise vertically) back to the move's original starting place (only at a relative 90-degree angle change), delivering a 2-finger poke to the visualized opponent's right eye.

4)

Timed to coincide with the focus point of the previous move (3), redirect your attention 90-degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward right-front-flank) with a left step (sweep) forward (toward right-front-flank) into a right rear twist facing backward (toward left-rear-flank), simultaneously with the execution of a left, thrusting, weaving, outward, 2-finger, poke to eye height, palm pointing away from you (toward left-front-flank) and fingers pointing backward (toward left-rear-flank), while the right hand maintains its same relative spatial positioning and orientation throughout the entire maneuver.

Elaboration:

The final strike of the previous maneuver (4) is timed to reach its focus point just after the settle (toward down) into the stance, not with the settle.

Interpretation:

The left arm of the previous maneuver (4) should circle (counter-clockwise vertically) on the outside of the right arm (toward left-front-flank), using it as a guide to deliver the 2-finger poke to the visualized opponent's left eye; while also following its same relative path from the prior maneuver (3), creating an overlapping (vertically oriented) figure 8.

The foot maneuver of the previous maneuver (4) can be construed as a left sweep to the visualized opponent's right leg, with the poke concluding just after the plant into the twist stance.
