From a meditating horse stance...
1)
| a) | Step forward with your right foot (toward 12:00H) into a right neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with a right hammering inward block (toward 10:30H) (major), while simultaneously repositioning (toward 6:00V) your left arm into a left positioned cover, palm forward (toward 12:00H), at your right solar plexus. |
| b) | Execute a right, hammering, outward, downward diagonal hand-sword (toward 1:30H) (toward 4:30V) (major), while simultaneously settling (toward 6:00V) into your right neutral bow (facing 12:00H). |
2)
| a) | Left step-through forward (toward 12:00H) into a left neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with a left, thrusting, inward block (toward 1:30H) (major), while simultaneously repositioning (toward 6:00H) your right arm into a right positioned cover, palm forward (toward 12:00H), at your left solar plexus. |
| b) | Execute a left, hammering, outward, downward diagonal hand-sword (toward 10:30H) (toward 7:30V) (major), while simultaneously settling (toward 6:00V) into your left neutral bow. |
3)
| a) | Draw your left foot backward (toward 6:00H) toward your right foot into a left 45 degree cat (facing 12:00H), while simultaneously retracting both of your arms (toward 6:00H), hands in fists (palms facing each-other), to your right side. |
Note: The right arm completes its retraction into a right chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), while your left arm completes its retraction ending horizontally cocked across your lower abdomen, palm down (toward 6:00V), left fist positioned directly on top of the right fist.
| b) | Step your left foot to your left (toward 9:00H) into a left, offset, fighting horse (facing 9:00H), while simultaneously executing a left, vertical, outward block (toward 6:00H) (major) with a right, thrusting, straight punch (toward 9:00H) (major). |
Note: The offset, fighting horse is positioned such that the feet are offset aligned (toe-heel alignment - like a neutral bow), both feet and body point directly to the side (like a horse), and the head is turned to look at the Point of Reference (where an imaginary opponent would be - like a neutral bow).
4)
| a) | Draw your right foot to your left (toward 9:00H) toward your left foot, into a right 45 degree cat (facing 12:00H), while simultaneously retracting both of your arms (toward 3:00H), hands in fists (palms facing each-other), to your left side. |
Note: The left arm completes its retraction in a left chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00H), while your right arm completes its retraction ending horizontally cocked across your lower abdomen, palm down (toward 6:00V), right fist positioned directly on top of the left fist.
| b) | Step your right foot to your right (toward 3:00H) into a right, offset, fighting horse (facing 3:00H), while simultaneously executing a right, vertical, outward block (toward 6:00H) (major) with a left, thrusting, straight punch (toward 3:00H) (major). |
Note: The offset, fighting horse is positioned such that the feet are offset aligned (toe-heel alignment - like a neutral bow), both feet and body point directly to the side (like a horse), and the head is turned to look at the Point of Reference (where an imaginary opponent would be - like a neutral bow).
5)
| a) | Draw your left foot to your right (toward 3:00H) toward your right foot, into a left 45 degree cat (facing 12:00H), while simultaneously retracting both of your arms (toward 9:00H), hands in fists (palms facing each-other), to your right side. |
Note: The right arm completes its retraction into a right chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), while your left arm completes its retraction ending horizontally cocked across your lower abdomen, palm down (toward 6:00V), left fist positioned directly on top of the right fist.
| b) | Step your left foot backwards (toward 5:30H) into a left, modified, transitory, rear twist stance1 (facing 6:00H). |
c) Immediately after stabilizing your base, rotate (counter-clockwise H) and settle (toward 6:00V) into a left, wide kneel (facing 6:00H), while simultaneously executing a left, upward block (toward 12:00V) (major) with a right, snapping, downward, vertical, raking middle-knuckle (toward 6:00V) (minor), palm facing to your left (toward 9:00V).
Note: The middle-knuckle strike should not pass beyond a horizontal plane and should be immediately drawn back (snapped) upward (toward 12:00V), stopping in front of your right shoulder.
6)
| a) | Draw your right foot forward (toward 6:00H) toward your left foot, into a right, rear, transitory, 45 degree cat (facing 12:00H) while simultaneously retracting both of your arms (toward 12:00H), hands in fists (palms facing each-other), to your left side. |
Note: The left arm completes its retraction in a left chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00H), while your right arm completes its retraction ending horizontally cocked across your lower abdomen, palm down (toward 6:00V), right fist positioned directly on top of the left fist.
| b) | Step your right foot backward (toward 12:30H) into a right, modified, transitory, rear twist stance1 (facing 12:00H). |
Note: The above foot maneuver is commonly referred to as a “V” step.
| c) | Immediately after stabilizing your base, rotate (clockwise H) and settle (toward 6:00V) into a right, wide kneel (facing 12:00H), while simultaneously executing a right upward block (toward 12:00V) (major) with a left, snapping, downward, vertical, raking middle-knuckle (toward 6:00V) (minor), palm facing to your right (toward 3:00V). |

Without any loss of motion, step forward (toward 7:30H) with your right foot into a right neutral bow (facing 7:30H), and settle (toward 6:00V) into your stance with a right, hammering, downward block (toward 10:30H) (major), while simultaneously retracting (toward 1:30H) your left arm to a left chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V). |
| c) | Left step-through forward (toward 7:30H) into a left neutral bow (facing 7:30H) with a left, thrusting, straight heel-palm (toward 7:30H) (major), fingers pointing upward (toward 12:00V), while simultaneously repositioning your right hand (toward 1:30H) into a right positioned cover, palm forward (toward 7:30H) at your left solar plexus. |
9)
| a) | Rotate (cover) (clockwise H) with the draw of your right foot backward (toward 7:30H) toward your left foot into a right 45 degree cat (facing 1:30H) along with the execution of a left, hammering, inward block (toward 3:00H) (minor), while simultaneously retracting (toward 7:30H) your right arm horizontally across your lower abdomen, palm facing upward (toward 12:00V), in preparation for the next move. |
