Crossing Talon (left side)

Note:The next maneuver is not considered part of the technique, rather a transition (adjustment) step prior the actual technique.
1)Extend (toward 12:00H) and drop (toward 7:30V) your right arm forward, in front of your right waist width (width) and groin height (height), palm down (toward 4:30V), in preparation for the next maneuver.
2a)Step forward with your left foot (toward 12:00H) into a left, offset, fighting horse (facing 12:00H) while simultaneously executing a left, downward, horizontal forearm strike (toward 6:00V) to lower rib height, palm toward you (toward 6:00H), and arm parallel to ground and relatively perpendicular (on 9:00H / 3:00H line) to your body,
Note:Throughout the above maneuver your right hand should maintain its same relative spacial position and should not be affected by either the change of your stance or the left elbow strike.
2b)Cock your left arm to your right side (toward 6:00H), palm up (toward 12:00V), and immediately reverse the motion of your left arm to deliver a left outward elbow to rib height (toward 12:00H), palm down (toward 6:00V).
Note:Throughout the above maneuver your right hand should maintain its same relative spacial position.
Note:Your left arm should travel on a relatively horizontal and linear path.
3)Immediately, deliver a left inward, overhead (clockwise V) elbow strike (toward 6:00V) (toward 12:00H) to rib height, palm facing you (toward 6:00H).
Note:Your left arm should travel on a relatively vertical and circular path.
Note:Throughout the above maneuver your right hand should maintain its same relative spacial position.
Note:The next maneuver is not considered part of the technique, rather a transition (adjustment) step prior the opposite side of the technique.
4)Retract both your hands (toward 6:00H) to chambered positions, palms up (toward 12:00V), with the retraction of your left foot backward (toward 6:00H) into a horse stance (facing 12:00H).
Note:The timing of this maneuver should be that both your foot and hand maneuvers conclude at the same time.
Note:You should conclude this technique in the exact same location and position from which you started the technique.
