Instruction 3 (Fig 7-654,655) The center shifts right, the body squats down. Simultaneously, the fists are pulled open, the left below, the right above, the left moving to the inside of the left knee, the right moving to the upper right a little higher than the head.
Note: When the center shifts from the left foot to the right foot, and the left foot is stretched to the front, the qì must sink, as the body squats, you must relax the abdomen and drop the hips, descending with the qì. The squatting must still have the intent of being about to spring.
