VIII- Mustang Ruffle Mane
2- Continuing the “Left Mustang Ruffle its Mane”
a- Using the left heel as pivot, twist the waist again
to the left side a 45 degree-angle. Bend the left knee to
support the whole body and to raise the rear foot. Let its
toes close to the front foot forming the “False Stance” by (8)
standing on bent left knee and with right foot on tiptoe. (9)
During this twisting, the stretched arms are pressing
contrariwise so that the right hand is lowering down close to
the left knee and facing the lower of body seemingly to (10)
protect it (fig. 8-9)
b- From this False Stance, forward the right heel to
the right side so that the right toes aiming the West-North
and two heels forming a 45 degree-angle (the right heel is,
thus, on the straight line joining the middle point of the left
foot at the distance of shoulder width). Press right foot (11)
down while twisting the waist clockwise around the heels as
pivots a 45 degree-angle, next press its toes to form the
“Left Climbing Mountain” Stance (so, in this stance, the left
leg becoming now the rear, is stretching out, and the right
leg becoming now as the front, is slightly obliquely (12)
perpendicular to the ground). In the mean time, pull up and
down both hands contrariwise each other along its diagonal
itinerary (to do this, both palms facing oppositely, the right
one below the upper, is pulled up straightly and obliquely,
while the left one is drawn back the same way forming as it
seem a straight chop backwards along the above diagonal (13)
itinerary.
c- This move of both hands ends with the right palm
pulling upward facing your forehead and the left palm
pulling down facing the ground while you are looking at the
right arm in the left Climbing Mountain Stance. [fig. 10-13]
