| 1a) | Step back (toward 6:00H) with your right foot into a left neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with the rotation (left counter clockwise V) (right clockwise V) and parting (left toward 9:00H) (right toward 3:00H) of both your hands to shoulder width in front of your body (toward 12:00H), palms forward (toward 12:00H), while also continuing to maintain anchored elbows (toward 6:00V). |
| Note: | The above maneuver uses the elbows and forearms as the primary pivot points and the shoulders as the secondary pivot point. |
| 1b) | Without any loss of motion, shift (counter clockwise H) into a left forward bow (facing 12:00H) with a right, thrusting, straight hand-sword (toward 12:00H) (punching chop), palm up (toward 12:00V), to upper chest height (major) while simultaneously cocking (toward 4:30H) your left hand across your body to your right upper shoulder area, palm up (toward 12:00V), in preparation for the next move. |
| Note: | The above series of moves should be done as almost a single series of almost continuous motion, instead of splitting the motion into its component parts. |
| 2) | Shift (clockwise H) into a left neutral (facing 12:00H) with a left, thrusting, straight, hand-sword (toward 12:00H) to throat height (minor), palm down (toward 6:00V), while simultaneously drawing (toward 6:00H) your right fist to your right lower chest area, palm up (toward 12:00V), in preparation for the next move. |
| 3) | Shift (counter clockwise H) into a left forward bow (facing 12:00H) with a right, thrusting, vertical middle knuckle strike (toward 12:00H) to sternum height (major), while simultaneously drawing (toward 6:00H) your left open hand across your body to your right upper ribcage area, palm down (toward 6:00V). |
| Note: | Your left, retracting arm should pass underneath the right, punching arm. |
| Note: | The next maneuver is not considered part of this technique, rather a transition (adjustment) step prior the opposite side of the technique. |
| 4) | Step your right foot (toward 12:00H) to your left foot, matching the angle of your left foot (toes toward 10:30H), while maintaining the same relative stance height, as you simultaneously raise (toward 12:00V) both open hands in front of your body (stacked left over right) to upper chest height (height) with both arms parallel to and on either side of your centerline (width), palms toward you (toward 6:00H), and both elbows anchored (toward 6:00V) and almost touching in front of your abdomen area. |
| Note: | This position is the same as the transitional position from Isolation #2b, but with the overlapping hands switched. |
| Note: | This maneuver combined with the next maneuver should create a (right) back-foot-to-front-foot switch (facing 12:00H). |
