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)

Direct your attention 90 degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward left flank) as you unwind (clockwise horizontally) your stance, in-place, into a left neutral bow facing forward (toward left-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 left-flank) into position, behind the potential opponent's legs (toward rear), while forcing them (using your right arm) to bend (backward); and then (2) manipulating (using your right arm) the potential opponent (backward) over your right leg (buckle) and onto the ground (take down), face up (toward up) on a left-to-right (left-flank to right-flank) line - while your left hand keeps the potential opponent's right hand pinned to your left chest area throughout the entire sequence.

1b)

Right step-through forward (toward left-flank) into a right, transitory, inverted neutral bow facing forward (toward left-flank) as you press your left hand to your left, inner shoulder area, palm pointing toward you (toward front) and fingers pointing upward (toward up) along with the simultaneous execution of a right, thrusting, diagonally-forward, vertical forearm strike (toward left-rear-flank) to shoulder height, palm pointing to your left (toward right-rear-flank) and knuckles pointing upward (toward upper-left-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 (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward right-flank) as you also rotate your stance 180 degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) into a left forward bow facing forward (toward right-flank), simultaneously with a right, hammering, diagonally-downward, vertical forearm strike (toward lower-right-flank) to lower chest height, palm pointing to your left (toward front) and knuckles pointing diagonally-upward (toward upper-right-flank), while maintaining the same relative orientation and positioning of your left 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 right hand in a downward (toward down) spiral (clockwise horizontally) in front of your body (toward right-flank) to waist height, as you convert it into a simulated open-handed (wide) grab, palm pointing toward you (toward left-flank) and fingers curved (fingers clockwise horizontally / thumb counter-clockwise horizontally) and parallel to the floor, while also maintaining both your stance and positioning of your left 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 (clockwise horizontally) your stance into a left, reverse bow facing forward (toward right-flank) as you simultaneously execute a left, underhanded heel-palm (toward left-flank) in front of your body (toward rear) to lower waist height, palm pointing backward (toward left-flank) and fingers pointing downward (toward down), as you maintain the same spatial positioning and orientation of your right 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 right hand, on the same (diagonally-downward) angle that is created by the left leg of the stance.

4)

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

Interpretation:

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

Variation:

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

5)

Reverse the motion of your right leg to deliver a left, hammering, diagonally-downward heel kick (toward lower-right-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-left-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 left 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 (counter-clockwise horizontally) your left hand in front of your body (toward rear) as you convert it into a simulated open-handed (wide) grab, palm pointing forward (toward right-flank) and fingers curved (fingers counter-clockwise horizontally / thumb clockwise horizontally), while also maintaining both your stance and positioning of your right hand.

Elaboration:

The final position of the left hand for the previous maneuver (6b) should maintain the same (diagonally-downward) angle created by the final position of the left 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 (counter-clockwise horizontally) your stance into a left forward bow facing forward (toward right-flank) as you simultaneously execute a right, underhanded heel-palm (toward right-flank) to thigh height (directly below the position of your left hand), palm pointing forward (toward right-flank) and fingers pointing downward (toward down), as you maintain the same spatial positioning and orientation of your left hand.

Visualization:

The overall height of the right 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 right foot forward (toward right-flank) to and past your left 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 left foot, while maintaining the same relative positioning and orientation of both your hands.

7b)

Reverse the path of your right foot to and past your left 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 left foot, while maintaining the same relative positioning and orientation of both your hands.

7c)

Again, reverse the path of your right foot to and past your left 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 left 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 right foot into a right front twist stance facing forward (toward right-flank), while maintaining the same relative positioning and orientation of both your hands.
