Crossing Talon (right 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 left arm forward, in front of your left waist width (width) and groin height (height), palm down (toward 4:30V), in preparation for the next maneuver.
2a)Step forward with your right foot (toward 12:00H) into a right, offset, fighting horse (facing 12:00H) while simultaneously executing a right, 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 3:00H / 9:00H line) to your body,
Note:Throughout the above maneuver your left hand should maintain its same relative spacial position and should not be affected by either the shift of your stance or the right elbow strike.
2b)Cock your right arm to your left side (toward 6:00H), palm up (toward 12:00V), and immediately reverse the motion of your right arm to deliver a right outward elbow to rib height (toward 12:00H), palm down (toward 6:00V).
Note:Throughout the above maneuver your left hand should maintain its same relative spacial position.
Note:Your right arm should travel on a relatively horizontal and linear path.
3)Immediately, deliver a right inward, overhead (counter clockwise V) elbow strike (toward 6:00V) (toward 12:00H) to rib height, palm facing you (toward 6:00H).
Note:Your right arm should travel on a relatively vertical and circular path.
Note:Throughout the above maneuver your left hand should maintain its same relative spacial position.
Note:The next maneuver is not considered part of the technique, but a transition (adjustment) step prior the next series of maneuvers.
4)Retract both your hands (toward 6:00H) to chambered positions, palms up (toward 12:00V), with the retraction of your right 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.
