Visualization:

The following maneuver (1a) creates a circular (counter-clockwise horizontally) arcing (1/2 - 3/4 of a circle) motion on the floor simultaneously with a circular (counter-clockwise vertically) arching (1/2 - 3/4 of a circle) motion relatively perpendicular to the body, from hip to face height.

1a)

Circle (counter-clockwise horizontally) your right foot forward (toward front) into a right transitory, modified neutral bow facing forward (toward front) with the execution of a right inward parry (toward front) to face height, while simultaneously allowing your left hand to reorient into a positional cover at rib height, palm pointing forward (toward front) and fingers pointing upward (toward up).

Clarification:

The neutral bow of the previous maneuver (1a) is called transitory because the stance never settles and is held only long enough to provide a smooth transition into the following maneuver (1b). The neutral bow of the previous maneuver (1a) is called modified because the foot orientation (width + rotation), overall stance depth, and body rotation may deviate from standards, due to the transitory nature of the maneuver.

Interpretation:

One way to construe what the right hand is doing throughout the beginning maneuvers of the technique (1a-3) is that after the initial movement is concluded (1a), at about shoulder height, the hand becomes a pressing check on the potential opponent (on left shoulder), which is maintained throughout the series (1b-3), as you maneuver toward and around the potential opponent's body.

1b)

Circle (counter-clockwise horizontally) your left foot as you step-through forward (toward front) into a left, transitory, modified neutral bow facing forward (toward forward) with the execution of a left, thrusting, heel-palm forward (toward front) to face height, which weaves on top of (toward up) your right hand as it maintains its same general positioning and orientation as a positional cover at shoulder height.

Elaboration:

The transition of the right hand to a cover in the previous maneuver (1b) is accomplished by bringing the body forward with the step-through (fixed spatial cocking), not by retracting the hand to the face. Once the proper positioning in relation to the body is accomplished, the hand then moves forward with the body as it completes the foot maneuver (body fusion).

Clarification:

The neutral bow of the previous maneuver (1b) is called transitory because the stance never settles and is held only long enough to provide a smooth transition into the following maneuver (2). The neutral bow of the previous maneuver (1b) is called modified because the foot orientation (width) may deviate from standards, due to the transitory nature of the maneuver.

2)

Right step-through forward (toward front) into a right forward bow facing forward (toward front) with the execution of a left, thrusting, modified upward elbow (toward upper-front) to chest height, palm pointing forward (toward front) and fingers pointing upward (toward up), as you simultaneous maintain the same relative orientation of your right hand as a positional cover at face height.

Elaboration:

The upward elbow of the previous maneuver (2) uses the fingers as the primary pivot point to deliver the strike.

Clarification:

The upward elbow of the previous maneuver (2) is called modified because the maneuver is executed with the hand open and at a lower level than commonly executed.

3)

Redirect your attention 90 degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward left-flank) as you rotate (counter-clockwise horizontally) your stance into a transitory, offset horse facing forward (toward left-flank) with the simultaneous execution of a left, hammering, inverted, inward heel-palm to groin height, palm pointing to the right (toward front) and fingers pointing downward (toward down), as you continue to maintain the same relative spatial orientation and position of your right hand.

Elaboration:

The heel-palm from the previous maneuver (3) uses the elbow as its primary pivot point to deliver the strike.

Clarification:

The horse stance of the previous maneuver (3) is called transitory because it is never settled into and is only held long enough to allow for the strike to be effective.

Variation:

In certain instances, the previous maneuver (3) may be considered completely optional, and one may purposely omit it from the form; instead moving directly to the following maneuver (4a). If this variation is chosen, then the following redirection of attention (4a) would be 180 degrees, not 90 degrees, although to the same final attention point.

4a)

Redirect your attention 90 degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward rear) as you reverse left step-through reverse (toward front) into a right forward bow facing forward (toward rear), as you draw your left, cupped hand to your left hip (toward rear), palm pointing upward (toward up) and diagonally-upward (toward upper-left-flank), as you simultaneously reposition (toward down) and reorient your right hand to a downward positional cover in front of and parallel to your body, on your (vertical) center-line (width), at hip height (height), above your right knee (depth); palm pointing downward (toward down) and fingers pointing to the left (toward right-flank).

4b)

Execute a right, front scoop kick (toward rear) to groin height, without replanting your foot, as you maintain the same relative positioning of both your hands.

Clarification:

The following maneuver (4c) is technically not part of the technique, but rather a transitional maneuver into the following technique.

4c)

Circle (clockwise horizontally) 270 degrees (toward right-flank) around and behind (toward front) your left foot into a left, modified, transitory twist stance facing forward (toward left-flank), but without shifting the attention point (toward rear), as you continue to maintain the same relative orientation and positioning of both your hands.

Clarification:

The twist stance of the previous maneuver (4c) is called modified because the foot and body alignments are shifted 90 degrees (clockwise horizontally) to the right (toward left-flank), but the attention is not shifted from its previous orientation (toward rear). The twist stance of the previous maneuver (4c) is called transitory because it is not settled into and only held long enough for a smooth transition into the next maneuver.
