1)

Direct your attention 180-degrees (clockwise horizontally) backward (toward rear) as you execute a left, thrusting, horizontal, back 4-finger poke over the right shoulder (toward rear), palm pointing downward (toward down), simultaneously with the execution of a right, thrusting, back elbow (toward rear), palm pointing upward (toward up).

2)

Split your attention between both the forward (toward front) and backward (toward rear) directions as you execute a right, thrusting, horizontal, straight, 4-finger thrust (toward front) to eye height, palm pointing downward (toward down), simultaneously with a left, hammering, vertical, back, hand-sword (toward rear), to groin height, fingers pointing downward (toward down).

3)

Execute a right, hammering, vertical, back hammer-fist (toward rear), to groin height, knuckles pointing downward (toward down), simultaneously with a left, thrusting, upward elbow (toward upper-front), to face height, knuckles pointing backward and diagonally-upward (toward upper-rear).

Clarification:

The following sequence (4a-4c) is to be executed as a single uninterrupted maneuver, but the individual motions of the series are detailed for more clarity of the subtleties contained within these movements.

4a)

Redirect your attention to only forward (toward front) as you arc your right arm forward (toward upper-front) (clockwise vertically) until pointing forward and diagonally-upward (toward upper-front) in front of your right shoulder, at face height, knuckles pointing forward and diagonally-upward (toward upper-front); effectively matching the opposite angle of your left arm, which remains motionless.

Elaboration:

In this part of the maneuver (4a), the shoulder starts as the major pivot point and then transitions to the elbow becoming the major pivot point.

4b)

Without any loss of motion, switch the direction of the knuckles of each arm (right clockwise / left clockwise - vertically) such that the right knuckles point backward and diagonally-upward (toward upper-rear) and the left knuckles point forward and diagonally-upward (toward upper front).

Elaboration:

In this part of the maneuver (4b), the elbows are the primary pivot point for both arms.

4c)

Without any loss of motion, reposition both arms simultaneously (right counter-clockwise / left clockwise - vertically) such that both set of knuckles point relatively upward (toward up), palms pointing inward (right toward left-flank / left toward right-flank), at lower face height in front of their corresponding shoulder.

Elaboration:

In this part of the maneuver (4c), the elbows continue to be the primary pivot points for both arms.

5a)

Split your attentional between both the left (toward left-flank) and right (toward right-flank) directions as you execute double, snapping, outward and diagonally-upward punches (right toward upper-right-flank / left toward upper-left-flank) to upper face height, palms pointing diagonally-upward (right toward upper-left-flank / left toward upper-right-flank).

5b)

Redirect your attention forward (toward front) as you return both fists to their same relative starting position of the previous maneuver (5a).

6)

Push your hip and buttocks area backward (toward rear) simultaneously with the execution of double, thrusting, inward punches directly to the corresponding opposite side (right toward left flank / left toward right flank), palms pointing upward (toward up) at upper hip height, in front of the body, with the left hand passing on top of the right hand.

Explanation:

The next maneuver (7) is not part of this isolation sequence and is considered a transitional maneuver. It is included with this sequence mainly because it fits better with it than the following technique. Because of this predicament, this maneuver (7) is often mistakenly construed to be part of the isolation sequence.

7)

Immediately, raise both of your open hands above your head (toward up), palms pointing upward (toward up), and without any loss of momentum, draw your right foot (toward left-flank) to your left foot while simultaneously lowering both of your hands in outward arches (left toward left-flank / right toward right-flank) (left counter-clockwise / right clockwise - vertically), ending into an attention stance facing forward (toward front).
