2． Sink the left hip, and lift the right knee twining slightly reversely. At the
same time, the left palm and the right fist twining reversely arc up and forward to
end up in front of the eyes, with a head-width separation between them, the center
of the left palm facing the face of the right fist. (Figures 31-2a and 31-2b)
3． Stamp the right foot sharply and flatly inside the left one, parallel with the
left. At the same time, the right fist twining further reversely punches down, left
and forward, with the heart of fist facing down and the eye of fist facing left and
backward; and the left palm twining further reversely sinks to rest over the right
forearm, facing down. At the end of their travel, the two forearms cross in front of
the body, with the weight more on the left leg. (Figure 31-3)
