2. DIRECT CLAMPING (Figs. 18-23)
Take a wide stance with your fists at your sides. Put your right
hand in front of your left leg and, with the elbow bent, turn your
waist and arm down to the left to a point beyond your left leg (Fig.
19). Now turn waist and arm to the right, shifting your weight
more to your right foot. When your arm goes past your right leg,
turn it in a big counterclockwise circle as your body rises (Fig. 21).
Continue turning it and your waist to the left until you return in
front of your left leg (Fig. 23). Follow the movement of the hand
with your eyes. Repeat with your left hand by simply reversing
directions. Remember: your bent arm turns and moves only in
conjunction with your waist.
