Step 1
Begin with the right leg back and the knee slightly bent, the left leg forward and the foot turn slightly in. The arms should be out in front of you with the palms facing up or down. This position allows you to hop back and forth easily in the face of an attack.
-
Step 2
Walk forward a step on the right foot, bringing your left arm into your side and left hand into a fist, thumb out. The right arm is still in same position as step 1.
-
Step 3
Walk forward another step on the left foot and rotate the left and right arm and hand positions. You should walk forward three steps making this striking motion with your arms.
-
Step 4
Pull the right leg across the left leg as you step back, right arm still raised in front for protection. This is like a serpent coiling back in retreat after a strike.
-
Step 5
Crouching in step 4 position, swing right arm up and out in a protective block. Fingertips should be in line with the top of your head, legs crossed over each other and knees bent. Right arm should make a fan shape and end step with palm in line with knees.
-
Step 6
Pull your arms into your chest, positioning hands so they look like they are holding ball. Twist your body all the way around to the left and strike out with right arm at your opponent.
-
Step 7
Follow step 6 hand strike with a step forward on the right foot and a front kick with the left foot. Hands should be fists in front of your chest.
