Note: | This technique starts from the last position of the previous technique, without any transitions. |
1a) | Slide (toward 12:00H) your left open hand along the underside (toward 6:00V) of your extended right arm, concluding at wrist (depth) and palm to your right (toward 3:00V). |
Note: | The previous maneuver simulates trapping the potential opponent's (left) hand between your right and left back of hands. |
Note: | The next two (2) set of maneuvers should be executed as a single, continuous series; giving the appearance of a single maneuver. |
1b) | Step backward (toward 6:00H) with your left foot into a right, transitory neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with the retraction (toward 6:00H) of both your hands to your left lower stomach area, left open palm forward (toward 12:00H) and right open hand palm backward (toward 6:00H). |
Note: | The previous maneuver set can be interpreted as applying a left, elbow lock to the potential opponent. |
1c) | Continue to shift (counter clockwise H) into a right reverse bow (facing 12:00H), while also continuing the retraction of both your hands, concluding at your left upper hip level. |
Note: | The previous maneuver set can be interpreted as a possible left elbow break to the potential opponent. |
Note: | The previous upper body maneuvers should follow a straight line; not creating an arching path around your body. This creates the line that will be reversed with the circular path of the next maneuver. |
Note: | The above moves should be timed such that the stance rotation (settle) and hand repositioning conclude simultaneously. |
Note: | The next two (2) set of maneuvers should be executed as a single, continuous series; giving the appearance of a single maneuver - and generally reversing the sequence of the previous maneuvers. |
1d) | Shift of your stance (clockwise H) into a right, transitory offset, fighting horse (facing 12:00H) with a right, thrusting, outward elbow (toward 12:00H), palm down (toward 6:00V), to rib height, while simultaneously converting your left open hand to a positional cover at chest level, palm forward (toward 12:00H) in preparation for the next maneuver. |
Note: | The left hand should be positioned slightly higher than the right arm to avoid unnecessary repositioning of the hand for proper execution of the following maneuver. |
Tip: | You should not need to reposition your left hand very much. Instead rely primarily upon body fusion, allowing the rotation of your body to place the hand in the proper relative location. |
1e) | Continue to shift (clockwise H) into a right forward bow (facing 12:00H) with a downward (toward 7:30V) and forward (toward 12:00H) arch, palm down (toward 6:00V), concluding with left, thrusting, four finger poke (toward 12:00H), palm down (toward 6:00V), to eye height, while simultaneously converting your right hand into a right positional cover at your left upper ribs, palm to your left (toward 9:00V). |
Note: | The above moves should be timed such that the stance rotation (settle) and strike conclude simultaneously. |
Note: | The previous set of maneuvers can be interpreted as a left frictional push to the potential opponent's left arm, followed by an eye poke. |
Note: | This final position should be very similar to the final positioning of the previous technique (on the opposite side). |
Tip: | You should not need to reposition your right hand very much. Instead rely primarily upon fixed spacial cocking (with your right hand as the pivot point), allowing the rotation of your body to place the hand in the proper relative location. |
Note: | The next maneuver is not considered part of the technique, rather a transition (adjustment) step prior the next series of maneuvers. |
2) | Without any loss of momentum, 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. |
