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.
