XV- Standing on One Leg with Cross Hands &
Kicking (p.1)

A- Kicking
1- If kicking with the left leg, the right one is
standing on False Stance, and vice versa. The knee of the
standing leg is rather bent and supports your whole weight.
2- If kicking with toes, the sole turned down,
gradually pushes forwards. If kicking with the sole, the foot
opens its sole pushing forwards. In both cases, the thigh is (1) (2)
parallel to the ground.

B- Combine with chopping hands

1- Start from the False Stance. Pull back the front foot to
turn down its sole which covers the knee of the standing leg
forming the “Standing on One Leg”. At the same time, (3)
stretch out both arms with palms opened which, next,
sweep contrariwise the air and stop at the middle, where,
you are seemingly reading both crossed palms, the right
palm is outside of the left one. (f. 1 -4)

2- Turn inside out both hands with palms facing
forwards so that you are looking at the hands’ back, this
time, by contrast, the left is outside of the one, and the
forearms are likely closing and parallel each other, the left
forearm is upper the right one. (4)

3- Kick the left leg while the right one is standing and
vice versa, at the same time, the two forearms separate (5)
from each other to stretch out for chopping outside at the
both sides. (f. 4 - 7)
