1: Right arm/hand remain extended behind the body following mantis block.

2: Left hand comes to waist, open and palm up.

3: Twist torso 90° to the right and lean over while delivering palm strikes.

Step 1: Blocking hand is open, palm faces right. Implied blocking surface is inner forearm. Blocking arm and punching first should be aligned with center line.

Step 2: I'm relatively certain this step exists purely for pedagogical purposes. In full-speed performance Step 1 would blend seamlessly into Step 3.

Step 5: Hands aligned on center line, left in front of right, elbows in. Trying to present as small of a target as possible.
