7． The fists twining reversely rotate in. As the hearts of fists face down, with the
wrists flexed in, the elbows push toward both sides of the body, the left one slightly
above the right. The eye of the left fist faces down to the right rear, and that of the
right one faces down to the left rear. The eyes look left. (Figures 45-7a and 45-7b)

8． Relax the right hip joint, and turn the torso slightly right. At the same time,
with the toes turned up, the left foot twining reversely kicks left with the heel, slight-
ly above the waist. After the kick, relax the foot immediately, and withdraw the left
leg twining directly, the left foot hanging down. The left fist twining slightly directly
strikes left and up, and the right one twining slightly directly strikes right and down,
with the hearts of fists facing down. The eyes look left and forward. (Figures 45-8a
and 45-8b)
