                                                                                           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.
