1a)

Right step forward (toward front) into a right neutral bow facing forward (toward front) with a right, modified, inward parry (toward front) to lower face height, palm pointing outward (toward left-rear-flank), while simultaneously positioning (toward front) your left open hand at abdomen height to create a positional cover, palm forward (toward front) and fingers pointing upward (toward up).

Clarification:

The inward parry of the previous maneuver (1a) is called modified because it starts with fingers pointing forward (toward front) and ends with fingers pointing upward (toward up).

1b)

Rotate (clockwise horizontally) your upper body into a modified right forward bow facing forward (toward front) with the execution a left outward parry (toward front) to lower face height, palm pointing away from you (toward left-front-flank) and fingers pointing upward (toward up), simultaneously with the retraction (toward lower-right-rear-flank) of your right open hand to a right semi-chambered position at lower-right chest height, palm pointing upward (toward up) and fingers pointing to the left (toward left-front-flank), in preparation for the next move.

Elaboration:

The outward parry of the previous maneuver (1b) should pass on the outside (toward front) of the right arm and be timed to conclude with the completion of the rotation (clockwise horizontally) of the upper body and the retraction of the right hand, which should maintain a direct line of sight (toward left-front-flank) and orientation for the next maneuver.

Clarification:

The forward bow of the previous maneuver (1b) is called modified because the feet are oriented as a neutral bow, but the upper body is oriented as a forward bow.

Visualization:

The pattern of the arms for the previous maneuvers (1a-1b) should approximate a horizontally oriented figure 8 pattern, laying on its side, vertically in front of and parallel to the body, with the center of the figure 8 on your (vertical) center-line.

1c)

Immediately, redirect your attention 45-degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward left-front-flank) as you convert your left parry into a simulated left grab, palm pointing away from you (toward left-rear-flank) followed immediately with the retraction (toward lower-right-rear-flank) of your left hand to your lower-left hip area (almost a low, inverted chambered position), palm pointing downward (toward down) and knuckles pointing forward (toward left-front-flank), simultaneously with a left, thrusting, front (ball) kick to groin height, bottom of foot pointing downward (toward down) and ball of foot pointing forward (toward left-front-flank); and also in-sync with a right, thrusting, 4-finger poke (toward upper-left-front-flank) to eye height, palm pointing downward (toward down) and finger pointing forward (toward left-front-flank).

2)

Redirect your attention 45-degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward front) as you plant your left foot (toward down) onto the starting line (left - right) into a horse stance facing forward (toward front), while simultaneously retracting your right hand (toward lower-right-rear-flank) to a right chambered position, hand open and palm pointing upward (toward up); with a left, thrusting, inward, elbow (toward upper-front) to face height, palm pointing downward (toward down).
