2. Brush Knee with Twist Step, Left
(l) Turn the upper part of the body slightly to the left, and move the right hand in an arc downward past the front of the body, and the left hand in an arc upward past the side of the body. (Fig. 8)
(2) Turn the upper part of the body to the right, move the right hand in an arc from below to the upper right backward to ear level, pa1m oblique up, and at the same time, move the left hand in an arc from before the body to the lower right to before the right part of the chest, pa1m oblique down. At the same time, move the left foot back to the inner side of the right foot. Look at the right palm. (Fig. 9)
(3) Turn the upper part of the body slightly to the left, move the left foot one step forward to the left with the feet about 30 centimeters apart, and shift the body weight forward, left leg bent and right leg straightened to form a left bow step. At the same time, pull the right hand back past the right ear and push it forward, fingers to nose level. Move the left hand downward to the left around the left knee and press it by the left hip, palm down and fingers pointing forward. Keep the upper part of the body upright and relax the waist and hips. Look at the right hand. (Fig. 10)
Points for attention: In executing the bow step, the feet form an angle of about 45 to 60 degrees (When necessary, readjust the heel of the rear foot by moving it backward). The left knee and the left toes form a perpendicular line. In order to keep balanced, do not put both feet on the same line, or cross them. Keep the feet l0 to 30 centimeters apart horizontally, depending on the degree of the turn of the body and the direction for the force applied.
