FORM : Take your right foot to the right oblique as your right hand,
palm up, sweeps in a big counterclockwise circle from right to left.
Turn your right hand over so that the palm is down and continue
the circle, now from left to right, and place your left foot on its toes
in front of your right. Your two hands now nestle near your right
side. From this corner, step forward with your left foot and push
with both hands. This technique follows a zig-zag path.
FUNCTION : As your opponent strikes with his left fist, take your
right foot obliquely right and block from outside with your circling
right arm toward your left. At this point he counters with a right
cross. Continuing your circle, you attack his right arm circularly
from above and outside, rolling it toward your right side. Your left
foot has come on its toes in front of your right. Next, step forward
with your left foot and push his right external obliques with both
hands.
