Short Form Three
If you are going though Short Forms 1-4, start this form at the next *. Start in ready position. Place your left fist against the palm of the open right hand. Raise your hands (bending your elbows) to your right shoulder as you step out with the right left into a leaning stance. Step behind the right leg with the left foot as you bring your hands out in front of your chest. Step back with your left leg into a right leaning stance, as you open both hands and turn them in. Come back with the right leg so your feet are shoulder width apart as your continue to turn your hands in so that the back of your hands touch. Just as your foot makes it all the way back your hands should come into the retracted position, both hands in fists. Next, extend both arms down in a cross block, both hands open. Swing your arms out and up so that they cross over your head and then bring them back to the retracted position as you close your fists. * Step to the right into a horse stance as you deliver downward blocks with both hands to either side. Look to the right and bring your left forearm up. Pivot to the right, into a right leaning stance as you deliver an inside forearm block with the right hand, and a downward inside forearm block with the left. Come up to your right foot. Extend your right spear hand out 90 degrees to the left and bring your left hand to your right ear, palm facing out. Step with the left foot to a back stance in the direction your right hand is pointing. While you are slowly steeping out clench your right fist, slowly retract it as you bring your left hand out to the same position the right hand had. Pivot to a left leaning stance. Turn your left palm up. Bring your right elbow up and over, landing it on your left palm. Bring your left hand back to the retracted position, but keep it open. Slowly come back to your right foot as you extend your left arm out and retract your right fist. Your feet are now together. Bend your left wrist. Turn your hand over, then clench your fist. Retract the left hand. Both hands are now in the retracted position. If you are going though Short Forms 1-4 in a sequence start the next form here.
