Visualization:

The pattern of the arms for the following maneuver series (1a-1b) should approximate a universal block (downward / inward) only with an offset in timing (accompanied with a stance change).

1a)

Direct your attention 90-degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward right-rear-flank) as you left step reverse (toward left-front-flank) into a right front twist facing forward (toward right-rear-flank) with a left, hammering, parrying, downward block (toward right-rear-flank) as you simultaneously reposition (toward up) and close your right hand at right head height in front of (toward left-rear-flank) your right shoulder, palm pointing forward (toward right-rear-flank), knuckles pointing upward (toward up), and elbow pointing downward (toward down), in preparation for the next maneuver.

Clarification:

The downward block of the previous maneuver (1a) is called parrying because rather than traveling on a left-to-right path of travel (like a standard block), it instead travels on a diagonally-backward path of travel (like a parry) - only with the hand closed (like a block).

1b)

Unwind (counter-clockwise horizontally) your stance into a right neutral bow facing forward (toward right-rear-flank) with a right, hammering, inward block (toward right-rear-flank), while allowing your left arm to continue to hang at your left side (toward left-front-flank), in preparation for the next maneuver.

Elaboration:

The final positioning of your right arm of the previous maneuver (1b), from its initial movement (1a), should conclude with the completion of the maneuver (1b), using the rotation of the body (1b) to further its path of travel diagonally-backward (1a).

Visualization:

Direct line of sight for the left arm's next target (2a) should be maintained at the conclusion of the previous maneuver (1b).

Clarification:

The following sequence (2a-2c) should be timed to be executed as a continuously flowing series of maneuvers which overlap in time.

2a)

Execute a left front cross-over instep kick to shin height (toward right-rear-flank) as you open your left hand, palm pointing forward (toward right-rear-flank) and fingers pointing downward (toward down), and begin to reverse (counter-clockwise vertically) the momentum of your left arm (toward right-rear-flank), in preparation for the following maneuver (2c); while also maintaining the same relative spatial positioning and orientation of your right arm as it converts to a positional cover, hand open and finger pointing upward (toward up).

Visualization:

The pattern created by the arms of the following sequence (2b-2c) should create a figure 8, bent at 90-degrees in the middle, with the side-to-side portion created by the right arm (counter-clockwise vertically) and the front-to-back portion created by the left arm (counter-clockwise vertically).

2b)

Plant (toward down) your left foot into a left front twist stance facing forward (toward right-rear-flank) while continuing the forward momentum (toward right-rear-flank) of your left hand, while simultaneously beginning to lower (counter-clockwise vertically) the right covering arm downward (toward down), in preparation for the next maneuver.

Elaboration:

Within the previous maneuver (2b), the right arm should use the elbow as the primary pivot point, while the left arm uses the shoulder as the primary pivot point, while the right hand also naturally begins to rotate (counter-clockwise vertically) downward (toward down) with the rotation of the right arm.

Clarification:

The following maneuver (2c) should be timed to reach its focus point just after the completed settle into the stance (2b).

2c)

Without any loss in momentum, execute a left, thrusting, upward, shape of the crane (toward up), palm and fingers pointing upward (toward up), while simultaneously colliding, at the left forearm, with the palm of your right hand, which now points downward (toward down) and fingers pointing to the left (toward right-front-flank),

Elaboration:

The collision of your left forearm and right hand of the previous maneuver (2c) should be timed to occur at the end of the striking contact of the maneuver and not impede on its effectiveness. Rather, the intention of this maneuver is to borrow some of the residual force (borrowed force) of the strike (rebounding) to improve the efficiency of the next technique.
