VIII- Mustang Ruffles Mane (part 1)
Or Left Parting the Wild Horse’s Mane (part 1)
Start from the “False Stance” standing on right knee
with the left foot on tiptoe, facing the North; basically move
along Cat’s Paces.

1- Left Mustang Ruffles its Mane:
a- Embrace the ball with both arms, the right arm is
upper, the left one is below to support it, so evidently, two (1) (2) (3)
palms face each other (1).
b- Bend the right knee. Drop naturally (loosing) the left
heel back so that the left toes aiming the West-North and
two heels forming a 45 degree-angle (the left toes are, thus,
on the straight line joining the middle point of the right foot
at the distance of shoulder width). Twist the waist counter-
clockwise around the left heel as pivot an angle of 45
degree, next press its toes and do the same for the right
foot in order to form the “Left Climbing Mountain” Stance
(so, in this stance, the right leg becoming now the rear, is
stretching out, and the left leg becoming now as the front (4) (5) (6)
one, is rather obliquely perpendicular to the ground) .
c- During this twisting, pull up and down both hands
contrariwise each other along its diagonal itinerary (to do
this, both palms facing oppositely, the left one below the
upper, is pulled up straightly and obliquely, while the right
one is drawn back the same way forming as a straight chop
backwards along the above diagonal itinerary (2-7).
This move of both hands ends with the left palm facing
upward and the right palm facing downward while you are
looking at the left arm in the left Climbing Mountain Stance, (7) (7bis)
