Explanation:

From a technical perspective, the initial stance of the following maneuver (1a) is a right, transitory reverse bow facing forward (toward rear), but since both the stance and the upper body positioning is not fully definable, due to being in constant transition; this intermediate positioning was purposely not illustrated individually, nor described with any detail within this sequence (1a).

1a)

Direct your attention 315 degrees (clockwise horizontally) to your right (toward rear) as you left step your diagonally-forward (toward right-front-flank), then once planted, immediately rotate (clockwise horizontally) and slightly draw your right foot backward (toward front) into a right, front, 45 degree cat stance facing forward (toward rear), as you simultaneously execute a right downward parry (toward rear) to lower hip height with a left inward parry (toward rear) to face height.

Elaboration:

The timing of the previous sequence (1a) should be executed such that both upper body maneuvers are in-sync with each other and also in-sync with the drawing of the foot into the cat; with all three maneuvers finishing at the same time: concluding in-line with each other (hands [face to hip] to knee to foot) on the height dimension (vertical - up/down), and oriented at the same depth (mid-range) and width (right outer rim) dimensions (horizontal - front/back + left/right) in relation to the body (a.k.a. framing).

1b)

Shift the majority of your weight forward (toward rear) and downward (toward down) onto your right foot, into a right, modified inverted cat stance facing forward (toward rear), as you execute a right, pressing, heel stomp (toward rear), while simultaneously maintaining the same relative orientation and positioning of both your arms.

Elaboration:

The amount of weight transferred onto the front foot should be near 100 percent (1b), and executed in such a way as to use the previous maneuver's (1b) momentum to aid in the smooth transition into the following maneuver (2).

Clarification:

The cat stance of the previous maneuver (1b) is called modified because it varies from the standard basic positioning. The cat stance of the previous maneuver (1b) is call inverted because the majority of weight is placed on the front foot, rather than the rear foot.

2a)

Left step-through forward (toward rear) into a left neutral bow facing forward (toward rear) with the execution of a left, hammering, inward block (toward rear) to face height, as you simultaneously allow your right hand to reorient to a hanging position at your right side, palm pointing inward (toward right-rear-flank) and fingers pointing downward (toward down), in preparation for the next maneuver (2b).

Visualization:

At the end of this maneuver (2a), direct line of sight for the right hand's next target (2b) should not be lost.

2b)

Rotate (counter-clockwise horizontally) into a left forward bow facing forward (toward rear) with a right, thrusting, inward ridge-hand (toward rear) to face height, palm pointing diagonally-downward (toward lower-right-flank) and fingers pointing forward (toward rear) as you maintain the same relative position and orientation of your left arm.

Variation:

You may open your left hand, converting it into a positional cover at face height, and/or secondarily also allow your right arm to conclude its motion by making contact (at the inner forearm) with the palm of your left hand. Regardless of variation choice, the left arm should maintain its same relative positioning at the conclusion of the maneuver (2b).

3a)

Reorient and form your left hand into the shape of the crane, palm pointing forward (toward rear) and fingers pointing forward (toward rear) as you slide your left forearm along the top (toward up) of your right forearm (toward rear) with a right step-through forward (toward rear) into a right, transitory neutral bow facing forward (toward rear).

Elaboration:

The right hand of the previous maneuver (3a) should maintain its same relative position in space throughout the entire maneuver, with the body closing the distance to it, rather than it being pulled to the body (fixed spatial cocking).

Clarification:

The neutral bow of the previous maneuver (3a) is called transitory because the maneuver never settles into the stance and only holds it long enough to smoothly transition into the next maneuver (3b).

3b)

Redirect your attention 180 degrees (counter-clockwise horizontally) to your left (toward front) with a left, step-through reverse (toward rear) into a right forward bow facing forward (toward front) as you drop (toward down) your left hand (remaining in the shape of the crane) in front of and parallel to your body to hip height, palm pointing downward (toward down) and fingers pointing downward (toward down), as you simultaneously convert your right hand to a fist in front of (toward front) your right shoulder at face height, palm pointing forward (toward front) and knuckles pointing diagonally-upward (toward upper-left-flank), in preparation for the next maneuver.

4)

Shift your stance (counter-clockwise horizontally) into a right neutral bow facing forward (toward front) with the execution of a right, hammering downward, back-knuckle in front of and parallel to your body to hip height, palm pointing upward (toward up) and knuckles pointing to your left (toward left-flank), as you simultaneously execute a raking claw toward your left (toward left flank), palm pointing downward (toward down) and concluding with the raising of your left hand in front of your left shoulder at face height, palm pointing forward (toward front) and fingers pointing diagonally-upward (toward upper-right-flank), in preparation for the next maneuver.

Elaboration:

Essentially, both the left and right arms of the previous maneuver (4) match the opposite orientation of the arms from the maneuver prior to it (3b), only with the cocked hand in a different formation and the striking hand in opposite rotation (palm down-up).

5)

Shift your stance (clockwise horizontally) into a right forward bow facing forward (toward front) with the execution of a left, hammering, downward, heel-palm in front of and parallel to your body to hip height, palm pointing downward (toward down) and fingers pointing to the right (toward right-flank), as you simultaneously retract (toward rear) your right arm to a standard chambered position.

Elaboration:

The previous striking maneuver (5) matches the orientation of the prior striking maneuver (3b), only with a different hand formation.
