17. To CROSS (HENG) (Figs. 260-265)
FORM: AS your right foot comes forward on its toes, twist your
right arm vertically in front of you (the biceps on a line with your
shoulder). Now step to the right oblique with your right foot as,
clenching your right fist, you elbow in the same direction. Your
left hand is near your right.
FUNCTION: Your opponent has his left foot forward and strikes
with his right fist. Step forward with your right foot on toes as you
vertically block from inside with your right forearm. Now, stepping
forward with your right foot, attack his chest with your right elbow.
Fig. 265 shows your left hand capturing his right after the block.
Although difficult, this is possible, but is only incidental to the
action. You may add a movement by taking a short step forward
with your right foot and, pivoting on your elbow, strike him with
a right hammer.
