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). |
