Visualization:

Although the upper body offensive maneuvers of the following sequence (1a-4) tend to maintain a relatively linear motion, combined together all the motions approximate a figure 8 pattern diagonally-oriented in front of the body interspersed with linear paths that are relatively perpendicular to the body.

Elaboration:

The following two maneuvers (1a-1b) are executed such that they overlap in time, where the second maneuver (1b) starts as the first maneuver (1a) comes to completion.

1a)

Deliver a left, hammering, downward block (toward front) as you maintain the same spatial positioning and orientation of your right hand and stance.

Clarification:

All the remaining maneuvers of this sequence (1b-4) are executed by extending the main maneuvering weapon in-sync with the retraction of the passive weapon such that it is cocked in preparation for its delivery as the main maneuvering weapon for the following maneuver.

1b)

Right step forward (toward front) into a right neutral bow with a right, thrusting, inward block (toward front), while allowing your left arm to hang at your left side (toward left-rear-flank), in preparation for the next maneuver.

Visualization:

At the end of the previous maneuver (1b), direct line of sight for the left hand to the attention point (toward front) should not be lost.

Elaboration:

The following maneuver sequence (1c-2) should be timed such that the both the first maneuver (1c) and the second maneuver (2) use the rotational shift (clockwise horizontally) to enhance the delivery of the strikes - the first maneuver at the beginning of the rotation, the second maneuver at the end of the rotation.

1c)

Begin to shift (clockwise horizontally) your stance forward into a right, modified, neutral bow as you deliver a right, hammering, outward and diagonally-downward, hand-sword (toward front) to neck height, palm pointing to the left and diagonally-downward (toward lower-left-flank) and fingers pointing forward and diagonally-upward (toward upper-left-front-flank), while simultaneously beginning to open and orient your left hand, in preparation for the next maneuver.

Clarification:

The neutral bow of the previous maneuver (1c) is called modified because the rotation of the stance is in transition between a neutral bow (1b) and a forward bow (2).

2)

Without any loss of momentum, continue to shift (clockwise horizontally) your stance into a right forward bow facing forward (toward front) with a left, thrusting, 4-finger, poke to eye height (toward front), palm pointing downward (toward down) and fingers pointing forward (toward front), as you simultaneously retract (toward rear) your right hand to chambered position.

3)

Shift (counter-clockwise horizontally) your stance back into a right neutral bow facing forward (toward front) with a right, thrusting, upper-cut punch to rib height (toward front), palm pointing diagonally-upward (toward upper-rear) and knuckles pointing forward and diagonally-upward (toward upper-front), as you retract (toward right-flank) your left open hand at your right shoulder area, palm pointing diagonally upward (toward upper-rear) and fingers pointing to your right (toward right-flank).

4)

Left step behind your right foot and to your right (toward right-rear-flank) into a right, modified, forward bow facing forward (toward left-front-flank) as you deliver a left, thrusting, outward, hand-sword (toward left-front-flank) to neck height, palm pointing downward (toward down) and fingers pointing to the right (toward front), with the retraction (toward upper-right-rear-flank) of your right hand to your right upper shoulder area, palm pointing forward (toward left-front-flank) and fingers pointing to your left (toward left-rear-flank).

Clarification:

The forward bow of the previous maneuver (3) is called modified because the alignments and orientation are shifted (counter-clockwise horizontally) 45-degrees to the left (toward left-front-flank), but the attention is maintained on the same line (toward front).

5)

Shift (counter-clockwise horizontally) and settle (toward down) into a right, modified, neutral bow facing forward (toward left-front-flank) as you deliver a right, hammering, downward, hand-sword (toward down) to abdomen height in front of your body (toward left-front-flank), palm pointing to your left (toward left-rear-flank) and fingers pointing forward and to your left (toward left-flank), while you simultaneously retract (toward right-rear-flank) your left hand to a positional cover at rib height, palm point forward (toward left-front-flank) and fingers pointing upward (toward up).

Clarification:

The neutral bow of the previous maneuver (4) is called modified because although the alignments and orientation remain shifted (counter-clockwise horizontally) 45-degrees to the left (toward left-front-flank), the attention is also maintained on the same line (toward front).

Elaboration:

The right hand of the previous maneuver (5) should conclude its path of travel at the end of the prior sequence (4), coming to a complete stop; and not continue to move past its focal point, thus creating a single (mumbled) motion combined with the first maneuver of the opposite side of this technique.
