Instruction 7 (Fig 7-63) Left hand turns in to in front of the abdomen while the right hand changes to a fist placed in the palm of the left.

Instruction 8 (Fig 7-64) Simultaneously raise the right foot and right fist. The left palm sinks slightly.

Instruction 9 (Fig 7-65) The right foot stomps to the ground while the right fist comes down into the left palm.

Note: The hands stroke (lǚ) to the right fairly fast. The left hand presses forward rather slowly. When the right foot is raised, the left leg will control the center of gravity, using the waist to hold the leg. Before the foot stomp, as the right fist comes up, the center of gravity sinks. When stomping the foot, the energy of the whole body goes to the foot. The body sinks with intent but you must not lean.
