PARTING WINGS     (Front: Two-hand push)

1.  With your feet together drop back with your right foot toward 6 o'clock into a left neutral bow (facing 12 o'clock) as you execute two extended outward handsword to the inside of your opponent's wrists (staying within the perimeter of your Outer Rim).  Make sure that both of your hands are parallel in terms of height and depth.  (This will expose the full width of your opponent.)

2.  With your opponent still moving toward you, immediately pivot into a left forward bow (facing 12 o'clock) as you execute a right thrusting inward handsword to your opponent's left lower ribcage.  During this action your left handsword becomes a Cocking Check at your right ear (palm in).  (Your opponent will bend forward at the waist.)

3.  Pivot into a left neutral bow while striking with a left outward handsword to your opponent's throat, as your right clenched fist cocks to your right ribcage, palm up.  (Your opponent's head will be driven back and his stomach will jut forward.)

4.  Again pivot into a left forward bow while Pin Pointing a right, vertical middle-knuckle punch into your opponent's solar plexus.  During this action your left hand acts as a Siding Gravational Check down your opponent's torso, finally becoming a guide for your right punch in Tracking to your target.  (Your opponent will again bend forward at the waist.)

5.  From the contact point of your right middle knuckle fist, have your right arm circle counterclockwise as you execute a right inward two-finger hook to your opponent’s eyes (left to right).  Without disrupting the flow of your sequence, nor changing the position of your stance, follow up with a left upward chop to your opponent’s throat.

6.  Immediately deliver a chicken kick with your left foot striking to your opponent’s groin and your right foot striking to his solar plexus.  During this action continue the counterclockwise flow of your right arm from its last move.

7.  As your right foot plants into a right neutral bow, simultaneously execute a right inward downward diagonal raking back knuckle strike to the left side of your opponent’s face and nose.  Your left hand is positionally checking in front of your solar plexus.

8.  With your right hand still in motion, execute a right front crossover back and toward 6 o’clock (gauging your distance for your next follow up) as you execute a right outward back knuckle strike to the right side of your opponent’s face or temple.

9.  While in-place, pivot counterclockwise into a left neutral bow (adjusting your right foot for balance and alignment) as you execute a left outward (diagonally upward) back knuckle strike to the left side of your opponent’s face, or temple.  Without disrupting the flow of your action, deliver a right instep kick to your opponent’s groin.  As you plant your right foot forward, into a right neutral bow, execute a right upper cut punch to your opponent’s chin.  Have your left hand positionally check in front of your solar plexus.

10.  Right front crossover and double cover out toward 7:30.
