Fatal Cross

1a)Step forward (toward 10:30H) with your right foot into a right, transitory 45-degree cat (facing 10:30H) with the inward hooking (toward 6:00V) (left - clockwise V) (right - counter-clockwise V) and retraction (toward 4:30H) of your hands, palm down (toward 6:00V), in the shape of the crane to upper waist height, ending them both in chambered positions, but with palms facing downward (toward 6:00V).
Note:The retraction of your arms should be straight backward (toward 4:30H) with both arms always remaining parallel to the ground (on a 9:00V - 3:00V plane).
1b)Without any loss of momentum, step forward (toward 10:30H) with your right foot into a right neutral bow (facing 10:30H) with the delivery of double thrusting middle-knuckle strikes (toward 10:30H) (toward 19:00V), palms facing diagonally upward (left - toward 1:30V) (right - toward 10:30V), to upper rib height, while simultaneously lowering (toward 6:00V) your chin to your chest, to expose the crown of your head to the focal point (toward 10:30H) (positioned cover).
Note:When bending your head forward, never lose sight of your focal point (straight ahead).
2)Retract both arms across your body (right on top of left), at stomach level, palms facing you (toward 4:30H), in preparation for the next move, while continuing to leave your head bent forward (toward 10:30H) (positioned cover). Using the rebound energy of the retraction (elastic recoil) from the previous move, deliver double, outward back-knuckle strikes (toward 10:30H) to jaw height, palms facing outward (left – toward 7:30V) (right – toward 4:30V).
3)Again, retract both arms across your body (right on top of left), at stomach level, palms facing you (toward 4:30H), in preparation for the next move. Using the rebound energy of the retraction (elastic recoil) from the previous move, deliver double, outward two-finger slices (toward 10:30H) to eye level, palms facing downward (toward 6:00V).
