Explanation:

The following maneuver (1a) is considered a transitional sequence and therefore technically not part really of the technique. But in contrast, it may also be considered the set-up (or initial maneuver sequence) for this technique.

1a)

Rotate (counter-clockwise horizontally) your stance into a left front twist facing forward (toward front), with a left upward block (toward up), knuckles pointing to your right (toward upper-right-front-flank), simultaneously with the retraction (toward left-flank) of your right arm to a right chambered position, palm up (toward up).

1b)

Right step-through forward (toward front) into a right neutral bow facing forward (toward front), as you reorient your left arm into a left, extended-outward blocking position (toward left-flank) at shoulder height, palm pointing forward (toward front), simultaneously with the execution of a right, thrusting, inward, outside forearm (toward left-front-flank) to shoulder height, palm pointing diagonally-backward (toward left-rear-flank).

Elaboration:

In the prior maneuver (1a), the left arm should start in front of the body (toward front), but conclude to the left (toward left-flank), in front of the left shoulder area as the foot maneuver progresses. In other words, the left arm should maintain a relatively fixed spatial depth (but not height nor width) as the body and right arm progress through the maneuver.

Variation:

At the end of the previous maneuver (1b), you may allow the left hand to rotate (counter-clockwise horizontally) to the left, palm pointing to the left (toward left-flank), until it simulates a grabbing position (at the same height as the ideal execution). Secondarily, you may also open and close the same hand throughout the execution of the maneuver to more accurately simulate a grab. If this variation is chosen, the closing of the left hand should be timed to compliment the focus point of the right forearm strike, simulating a grab which backs-up the simulated elbow break of a visualized opponent.

2)

Push-drag forward (toward front) and shift (clockwise horizontally) into a right close-kneel facing forward (toward front) with a left, thrusting, inward, elbow (toward front) to rib height, palm pointing downward (toward down), as you simultaneously convert your right hand to a right positional cover at ear height, palm pointing to your left (toward left-flank) and fingers pointing upward and diagonally-backward (toward upper-rear).

Elaboration:

Similar to the prior maneuver (1b), the right hand in the previous maneuver (2) should maintain its same relative spatial positioning (not orientation) as it converts (hand opens and is pivot point) to a positional cover, with the rest of body moving toward it.

3a)

Without any loss of momentum, allow your left arm to unbend toward your right (toward right-front-flank) at lower rib height, while simultaneously maintaining the position of your right covering hand.

Variation:

The previous maneuver (3a) may be accompanied with a further shift (clockwise horizontally) of only the upper body into a right, modified, close-kneel (or modified twist stance).

Visualization:

At the end of the previous maneuver (3a), direct line of sight for the elbow's next target (3b) should not be lost - whether the above variation is chosen or not.

3b)

Redirect your attention 135-degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward left-rear-flank) as you reverse the direction (now toward your left) of your left arm (toward left-rear-flank) to deliver a left, thrusting, outward and diagonally-upward, elbow (toward upper-left-rear-flank) to lower shoulder height, palm pointing diagonally-downward (toward lower-rear), with the shift (counter-clockwise horizontally) into a left, offset, fighting horse facing forward (toward left-rear-flank), while simultaneously maintaining the same relative spatial position of your right checking hand throughout the maneuver (which should now be relatively in front our your right facial area).

Clarification:

The horse of the previous maneuver (3b) is called offset because the feet are oriented as a horse, but are offset (toe-heel alignment) as a neutral bow.

Variation:

Simultaneous with the previous maneuver (3b), you may execute a right, outward and diagonally-upward, claw (toward upper-right-flank) to face height, palm pointing to your left (toward left-front-flank) and fingers pointing diagonally-downward (toward left-lower-rear-flank). Regardless of whether this variation is chosen or not, your right hand should end up in a similar (but not exact) spatial orientation and positioning after the maneuver execution, due to the fact that this strike would only travel a short distance.

4)

Without any loss of momentum, allow your left arm to unbend to your left (toward left-rear-flank), executing a left, thrusting, outward and diagonally-upward, hand-sword (toward upper-rear) to lower head height, palm pointing diagonally-downward (toward lower-rear) and fingers pointing diagonally-upward (toward upper-left-rear-flank), while simultaneously maintaining the positioning of your right hand, in preparation for the next maneuver.

Variation:

The previous maneuver (4) may be accompanied with a further rotation (counter-clockwise horizontally) of the upper body into a left, modified, offset, fighting horse, thus smoothing out any coarseness of the transition into the next maneuver. This horse is called modified because the over-rotation of the upper body would now be oriented more similar to a neutral bow than a horse.

5)

Pull-drag backward (toward rear), rotate (counter-clockwise horizontally), and drop (toward down) into a right, reverse, close-kneel facing forward (toward rear) with the execution of a right, hammering, inward and diagonally-downward, hand-sword (toward lower-rear) to chest height, palm pointing upward (toward upper-rear) and fingers pointing to your right (toward left-flank), while simultaneously lowering (toward lower-right-flank) and converting your left hand to a positional cover at right rib height, palm pointing to your right (toward left-flank) and fingers pointing upward (toward up), in preparation for the next maneuver.

6)

Push-drag forward (toward front), rotate (clockwise horizontally), and rise (toward up) into a right close-kneel facing forward (toward front) with the execution of a left, thrusting, inward and diagonally-upward, hand-sword (toward upper-front) to shoulder height, palm pointing upward (toward upper-rear [as much as possible]) and fingers pointing to your left (toward left-flank), ending in front of (toward front) your left shoulder area, while also simultaneously converting your right hand into a positional cover at left chest height, palm pointing to your left (toward left-flank) and fingers pointing upward (toward up).
