Elaboration:

The timing of the following sequence (1a-1b) is such that the maneuvers overlap in time; and although each maneuver is illustrated individually  for more clarity, demonstrate a continuous flow of movement which concludes in-sync with the settle into the stance.

Variation:

The following sequence (1a-1b) may be combined together, eliminating the outward arc of the left hand. Rather one may simply retract (toward front) the left hand directly to the chambered position at the left hip with the rotation of the stance. Regardless of choice, the left hand ends up with the same positioning and orientation at the conclusion of the sequence (1b).

1a)

Direct your attention 180 degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward rear) as you begin to rotate (counter-clockwise horizontally) your stance, in-place, into a left, modified, transitory, 45 degree cat stance facing forward (toward rear) as you simultaneously arc (counter-clockwise horizontally) your left hand forward (toward rear) and then to your left (toward right-flank) at shoulder height, palm pointing to your right (toward left-flank) and knuckles pointing forward (toward rear), as you simultaneously reorient your right hand as a low positional cover at your right hip, palm pointing forward (toward rear) and fingers pointing upward (toward up).

Visualization:

The previous maneuver may be interpreted as an outward back-knuckle strike to shoulder height with the focal point being directly in front of the body.

Clarification:

The stance of the previous maneuver (1a) is called modified because it the alignments of the stance are still in flux, with the front foot not yet fully positioned and oriented to the new focal point (rear). The stance of the previous maneuver (1a) is called transitory because it is not yet settled into and is not held for any length of time and is still in transition from the previous alignments.

1b)

Draw (toward yourself) both your left hand and left foot backward (toward front) into a left, transitory, 45 cat stance facing forward (toward rear); left hand to your left hip in a standard chambered position, palm pointing upward (toward up), as you simultaneously extend your right hand forward (toward rear), essentially replacing your left hand at shoulder height on your (vertical) center-line.

Clarification:

The stance of the previous maneuver (1b) is called transitory because the stance never fully settles and is held only long enough to allow for the left hand to be retracted (cocked), providing a smooth transition into the following maneuver (1c).

1c)

Left step forward (toward rear) into a left neutral bow facing forward (toward rear) with the execution of a left, thrusting, vertical back-knuckle to face height, as you maintain the same relative positioning and orientation of your right hand in space (not relative to the body).

Elaboration:

The right hand of the previous maneuver (1c) should start extended forward, but end up almost touching the body (near the under-arm area) at the conclusion of the maneuver - with the body moving toward the fixed position hand, not the hand moving toward the body; while the left hand simultaneously uses the forward momentum of the body to aid in its execution - extending forward and weaving on top of (toward up) and past (toward rear) the right hand.

Visualization:

The following maneuver sequence (2-3) uses diversified angles of retraction (2a-b) and delivery (3) to complete the sequence, with the ending of the first maneuver (2b) being the cocking mechanism for the execution of the following maneuver (3).

2a)

Reverse the path of your left hand (toward lower-rear) to a left, high, transitory, chambered position at rib height, in preparation for the next maneuver (cocking), while simultaneously maintaining the same relative position and orientation of your right hand.

Clarification:

The chambered position of the previous maneuver (2a) is called transitory because it never comes to a complete stop and is only used as the cocking mechanism for the delivery of the next maneuver (2b).

2b)

Deliver a left, thrusting, forward elbow (toward rear) to rib height, palm pointing downward (toward down), while simultaneously maintaining the same relative position and orientation of your right hand.

Elaboration:

The following two maneuvers (3a-b) constitute a continuous flow of movement which concludes in-sync with the settle into a kneeling position, but are illustrated individually for more clarity.

3a)

Lower in your stance (toward down) into a left, close kneel facing forward (toward rear) as you deliver a left, hammering, reverse, diagonally-downward back-knuckle (toward lower-front) to knee height, palm pointing diagonally-forward (toward right-front-flank) and knuckles pointing diagonally-backward (toward left-rear-flank); while simultaneously maintaining the same relative position and orientation of your right hand.

Clarification:

The back-knuckle of the previous maneuver (3a) is called reverse because the delivery of the strike is reversed (in both direction and alignment) from a standard back-knuckle; with the back-up mass of the weapon aligned in front of it, rather than behind it.

3b)

Continue to lower in your stance (toward down) into a left, kneeling, close kneel facing forward (toward rear), with the right foot extended directly backward (toward front), resting on the ball and toes pointing forward (toward rear); as you continue the backward movement (toward front) of your left hand until fully extended behind your body (toward lower-front), palm pointing diagonally-forward (toward left-front-flank) and knuckles pointing diagonally-backward (toward left-rear-flank); while simultaneously maintaining the same relative position and orientation of your right hand.

Elaboration:

The timing of the previous maneuver (3b) should be such that the backward movement of the left hand concludes in-sync with the right knee settling onto the ground.

4)

Maintain the same relative positioning and orientation of your right hand as you sweep your left leg backward (toward front) along with the delivery of a left, diagonally-upward, forward ridge-hand (toward upper-rear) to (your) face height (opposing forces), palm pointing diagonally-downward (toward lower-left-flank) and fingers pointing to the left (toward right-rear-flank); resulting in a right, modified, kneeling forward bow facing forward (toward rear).

Clarification:

The forward bow of the previous maneuver (4) is called modified because it is an extreme version of the stance, with the left leg fully extended backward (toward front), and the right leg kneeling.

Variation:

Rather than maintaining the positioning and orientation of the right hand, one may choose to retract the hand to the left chest area simultaneously with the other movements of the maneuver (4). Regardless of choice, the hand still continues to be considered a maintained positional cover.

Elaboration:

The following maneuver sequence (5-6) may be construed as a single continuous flow of motion, although the maneuvers are distinct and illustrated individually both for more clarity and to highlight this point.

Interpretation:

It is possible to construe the following maneuver sequence (5-6) as being the final isolation (#4b) of the form, due to the manner in which it is executed.

5)

Deliver a left, forward, shovel kick (toward rear) to lower shin height, as you continue to maintain the same relative positioning and orientation of both hands.

Interpretation:

The shovel kick of the previous maneuver (5), if viewed with a potential opponent, first makes contact with the ball of the foot and then with the heel as the foot slightly arcs (counter-clockwise vertically) perpendicular to your body in-line with the left hip, concluding with the foot pointing directly upward (toward up) at approximately knee height.

6)

Deliver a left, downward, stomping, heel kick (toward rear), sole pointing forward (toward rear) and toes pointing upward (toward up), as you continue to maintain the same relative positioning and orientation of both hands.

Visualization:

The heel kick of the previous maneuver (6) is delivered with the left leg relatively fully extended, straight forward in front of the body (toward rear), in-line with the left hip, using a diversified angle of delivery from the conclusion of the prior maneuver (5).

7)

Retract your left foot backward (toward front) next to (toward right-flank) your right knee as you simultaneously retract (toward front) both your hands to a left chambered position, left hand on top of and perpendicular to the right, palm pointing downward (toward down).

Visualization:

The final positioning of the left leg from the previous maneuver (7) should be such that it is perpendicular to the floor (knee in-line vertically with the foot), relatively in-line (horizontally) with your right knee.

Elaboration:

The upper and lower body maneuvers of the previous maneuver (7) should be such that they both conclude their motion in-sync with one another.
