Explanation:

The following maneuver (1a) is technically not considered part of the technique, but rather a transition into the proper positioning for the technique.

1a)

Unwind (counter-clockwise horizontally) your stance, in-place, into a right neutral bow facing forward (toward right-flank) as you simultaneously reorient and reposition both open hands to standard positional covers.

Interpretation:

The following maneuvers (1b-2) can be generally interpreted as: (1a) first maneuvering (foot maneuver) your body forward (toward right-flank) into position, behind the potential opponent's legs (toward rear), while forcing them (using your left arm) to bend (backward); and then (2) manipulating (using your left arm) the potential opponent (backward) over your left leg (buckle) and onto the ground (take down), face up (toward up) on a right-to-left (right-flank to left-flank) line - while your right hand keeps the potential opponent's left hand pinned to your right chest area throughout the entire sequence.

1b)

Left step-through forward (toward right-flank) into a left, transitory, inverted neutral bow facing forward (toward right-flank) as you press your right hand to your right, inner shoulder area, palm pointing toward you (toward front) and fingers pointing upward (toward up) along with the simultaneous execution of a left, thrusting, diagonally-forward, vertical forearm strike (toward right-rear-flank) to shoulder height, palm pointing to your right (toward left-rear-flank) and knuckles pointing upward (toward upper-right-flank).

Clarification:

The neutral bow of the previous maneuver (1b) is called transitory because the stance never settles and is held only long enough to allow for the striking maneuver to be effective and to provide a smooth transition into the following maneuver (2).

2)

Redirect your attention 180 degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward left-flank) as you also rotate your stance 180 degrees (clockwise horizontally) into a right forward bow facing forward (toward left-flank), simultaneously with a left, hammering, diagonally-downward, vertical forearm strike (toward lower-left-flank) to lower chest height, palm pointing to your right (toward front) and knuckles pointing diagonally-upward (toward upper-left-flank), while maintaining the same relative orientation and positioning of your right hand in relation to your body (body fusion).

Elaboration:

The delivery of the forearm from the previous maneuver (2) is implemented such that its execution relies heavily upon the rotation of the body, utilizing it to both direct its path of travel and enhance its overall effectiveness; while also being timed to conclude with the settle into the stance.

Visualization:

The following upper body maneuvers (3a-6b) create what is commonly known as the barber pole grab; accompanied with corresponding heel-palms (elbow hyper-extensions / breaks - to a potential opponent's arm) and stance shifts. This maneuver gets its name from the fact that the hands create downward spiraling paths similar to those of a barber pole.

3a)

Lower your left hand in a downward (toward down) spiral (counter-clockwise horizontally) in front of your body (toward left-flank) to waist height, as you convert it into a simulated open-handed (wide) grab, palm pointing toward you (toward right-flank) and fingers curved (fingers counter-clockwise horizontally / thumb clockwise horizontally) and parallel to the floor, while also maintaining both your stance and positioning of your right hand.

Visualization:

The spiral created from the previous maneuver (3a) should be no larger than the width of your hips and should generally be circular in shape, while using both the wrist and elbow as the primary pivot points.

3b)

Rotate (counter-clockwise horizontally) your stance into a right, reverse bow facing forward (toward left-flank) as you simultaneously execute a right, underhanded heel-palm (toward right-flank) in front of your body (toward rear) to lower waist height, palm pointing backward (toward right-flank) and fingers pointing downward (toward down), as you maintain the same spatial positioning and orientation of your left hand.

Elaboration:

The heel-palm of the previous maneuver (3b) should be executed such that it concludes in-sync with the settle into the stance and is positioned in-line, below with your left hand, on the same (diagonally-downward) angle that is created by the right leg of the stance.

4)

Deliver a right, thrusting, diagonally-upward knee kick (toward upper-right-flank) to lower waist height, along with allowing your right hand to reorient into a right positional cover at waist height, palm pointing downward (toward down) and fingers pointing to your right (toward rear), while simultaneously maintaining the same relative positioning and orientation of both your stance and left hand.

Interpretation:

The knee kick of the previous maneuver (4) can be interpreted as a knee kick to the left elbow of the potential opponent; to the same spatial positioning that your right hand occupied from the prior maneuver (3b).

Variation:

Your right hand may alternatively be reconfigured into a simulated grabbing position in-line with, to the right of (toward left-flank), and matching the positioning and shape of your left hand.

5)

Reverse the motion of your right leg to deliver a right, hammering, diagonally-downward heel kick (toward lower-left-flank) to lower shin height, while maintaining your stance and hand orientation and positioning.

Variation:

The positioning of the hands from the previous maneuver (5) may simulate a diagonally-upward (toward upper-right-flank) pulling motion to rib height, to demonstrate an aid to the delivery of the kick (5), using direct opposing forces (push-pull). If this variation is chosen, then the hands should return to their prior positioning and orientation of the previous maneuver (4) during the execution of the following maneuver (6a).

6a)

Replant (toward down) your right foot back to the same position (3b) prior to the knee kick (4), while continuing to maintain the orientation and positioning of both your stance and hands.

6b)

Circle (clockwise horizontally) your right hand in front of your body (toward rear) as you convert it into a simulated open-handed (wide) grab, palm pointing forward (toward left-flank) and fingers curved (fingers clockwise horizontally / thumb counter-clockwise horizontally), while also maintaining both your stance and positioning of your left hand.

Elaboration:

The final position of the right hand for the previous maneuver (6b) should maintain the same (diagonally-downward) angle created by the final position of the right hand of the prior maneuver (3b), at the same height and general positioning; only inverted (palm pointing the opposite direction) and re-shaped into its new formation.

Visualization:

The circle created from the previous maneuver (6b) should be fairly small in circumference (much smaller than the width of the hips), while using both the wrist and elbow as the primary pivot points.

6c)

Rotate (clockwise horizontally) your stance into a right forward bow facing forward (toward left-flank) as you simultaneously execute a left, underhanded heel-palm (toward left-flank) to thigh height (directly below the position of your right hand), palm pointing forward (toward left-flank) and fingers pointing downward (toward down), as you maintain the same spatial positioning and orientation of your right hand.

Visualization:

The overall height of the left foot for the next maneuvers (7a-c), in either direction, should remain fairly low (not exceeding ankle height), with the general depth of the maneuver (passing of the opposite foot) also remaining fairly shallow (not exceeding one or two times the length of your supporting foot).

Interpretation:

The next three maneuvers (7a-c) can be construed to constitute isolation #3a.

Clarification:

The next three maneuvers (7a-c) are technically forward and reverse (shallow and obfuscated) shovel kicks.

7a)

Draw your left foot forward (toward left-flank) to and past your right foot in a somewhat downward arching motion (counter-clockwise vertically) allowing the bottom of your foot to make contact with the ground directly next to (toward rear) your right foot, while maintaining the same relative positioning and orientation of both your hands.

7b)

Reverse the path of your left foot to and past your right foot in a somewhat downward arching motion (clockwise vertically) allowing the bottom of your foot to make contact with the ground directly next to (toward rear) your right foot, while maintaining the same relative positioning and orientation of both your hands.

7c)

Again, reverse the path of your left foot to and past your right foot in a somewhat downward arching motion (counter-clockwise vertically) allowing the bottom of your foot to make contact with the ground directly next to (toward rear) your right foot, while maintaining the same relative positioning and orientation of both your hands.

Clarification:

The following maneuver (8) is technically not part of the technique, but rather a transitional maneuver into the opposite side of the technique.

8)

Plant (toward down) your left foot diagonally-forward and to your left (toward left-rear-flank) into a left, transitory, modified forward bow facing forward (toward left-flank), while maintaining the same relative positioning and orientation of both your hands.

Clarification:

The forward bow of the previous maneuver (6) is called modified because its foot alignment is much wider (and potentially deeper) than standard. The forward bow of the previous maneuver (6) is called transitory because it never settles and is only held long enough to smoothly transition into the next maneuver.
