Unfurling Crane (right side)

1a)

Direct your attention 90-degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward right-front-flank) as you left step reverse (toward right-rear-flank) into a right, transitory, forward bow facing forward (toward right-front-flank), and without delay, rotate (counter-clockwise horizontally) with a settle (toward down) into a right, modified, neutral bow facing forward (toward right-front-flank) simultaneously with the execution of a right, thrusting, vertical-outward block (toward right-front-flank), palm pointing toward you (toward left-rear-flank), and in-sync with the execution of a left, hammering, downward block (toward right-front-flank), palm pointing backward (toward left-rear-flank).

Clarification:

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

Elaboration:

The previous maneuver (1a) first establishes the proper alignments (toe-heel / knee-heel) for the stance and then (rotates and) settles into the neutral bow with the execution of the blocks; which is actually an outward-downward universal block.

1b)

Execute a right push-drag forward (toward right-front-flank) with a right, hammering, forward, under-hand, hammer-fist (toward right-front-flank) to groin height, side of fist pointing forward (toward right-front-flank), with a settle (toward down) into a right, modified, neutral bow facing forward (toward right-front-flank); simultaneously with the execution of a left, thrusting, vertical-outward block (toward right-front-flank), palm pointing toward you (toward left-rear-flank).

Clarification:

The neutral 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 fighting horse.

Visualization:

The next maneuver sequence (2a-2b) is to be executed using relatively overlapping circular (vertical) paths, in a generally continuous flow - not appearing to be mumbled together nor staccato in execution.

2a)

Rotate forward (clockwise horizontally) into a right forward bow facing forward (toward right-front-flank) with the delivery of a left, hammering, over-head, heel-palm claw (toward right-front-flank) to face height, fingers pointing upward (toward up), as you simultaneously retract your right fist (toward upper-left-rear-flank) to your center chest area, palm pointing downward (toward down).

2b)

Immediately, reverse the rotation (counter-clockwise horizontally) of your stance back into a right neutral bow facing forward (toward right-front-flank) with the delivery of a right, thrusting, downward, back-knuckle (toward right-front-flank) to face height, palm pointing upward (toward upper-left-rear-flank), as you simultaneously retract your left open hand (toward left-rear-flank) to your lower-right chest area (as a cover), palm pointing forward (toward right-front-flank) and fingers pointing upward (toward up).
