The transition between the inward and outward blocks is as follows:
| 1) | draw the left foot toward the right into a right 45 degree cat stance while simultaneously retracting both arms to the right side in a 'cup and saucer' position. |
An analysis of this maneuver exposes the following information:
•the hand positioning cocks both the right and left hands simultaneously (to the same side of the body)
•the intersection position of the cat (lower) is opposite of the intersection position of the blocks (upper)
