Explanation: |
The reorientation of the hands in the following maneuver (1) is not considered part of the isolation, rather a minor repositioning to maneuver the hands to a location that lasts throughout the isolation's execution. |
1) |
Direct your attention 180 degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward right-flank) as you left, front, cross-over step (toward right-flank) into a left, front, in-line twist stance facing forward (toward right-flank) with the execution of a left, hammering, front, cross-over, knife-edge stomp (toward down), as you allow both your hands to reorient to a left, cup and saucer position at your left side. |
Elaboration: |
The reorientation of the hands from the previous maneuver (1) should be executed such that it is accomplished at the very beginning of the maneuver, with minimal (to no) repositioning of the hands from the ending of the previous technique. Instead of drastically maneuvering the hands, one should use the body movements created by the foot maneuver as much as possible to naturally position the hands into place (e.g. Fixed Spatial Cocking). |
2) |
Right step-through forward (toward right-flank) into a right, modified, in-line close-kneel stance facing forward (toward right-flank) with the execution of a right, downward, roundhouse ball stomp (toward down). |
Clarification: |
The close kneel of the previous maneuver (2) is called modified because the weight is not evenly distributed between the feet, rather a major portion of the weight is placed upon the striking (right) leg. |
3) |
Left step-through reverse (toward right-flank) with your left foot into a modified fighting horse facing to the left (toward right-flank) with the execution of a left, hammering, heel stomp (toward down). |
Clarification: |
The fighting horse of the previous maneuver (3) is called modified because of the placement of the hands in a cup and saucer position, rather than as standard positional covers. |
