Previous: Posture 37. Separate Left Foot
卅八. 轉身蹬腳
(一). 由前式鬆腰徐徐吸氣, 右腳不動, 左腳下落於右腳後方約尺許着地, 同時左手陰掌下落護襠, 右手下落護於面前, 如圖114。
Posture 38. Turn, Stomp Kick with Foot
(1) [Continuing] from the previous movement, relax the waist and slowly inhale. Keeping the right foot in place, drop the left foot down on the ground approximately one Chinese foot [1/3 meter] behind the right foot. At the same time, drop the right hand down as a Yin palm to guard the groin, and drop the right hand down to guard in front of the face, as in Figure 114.
[Note: Before the turn, the left hand drops down to guard the groin and the right hand guards at the face.]

(二). 由前式以右腳根及左腳尖為軸身向左後轉, 面對西方, 如圖115。
(2) [Continuing] from the previous movement, turn the body back towards the left, using the right heel and the left toes as an axis. Face directly towards the west, as in Figure 115.

(三). 由前式右腳不動, 左腿提平用膝盖上頂, 同時兩手交叉向上掤, 面西, 目前視, 如圖116。
(3) [Continuing] from the previous movement, keep the right foot in place and raise the left leg using the knee to bump upward [i.e., knee to the groin]. At the same time, cross both hands and ward off [peng] upwards. Face the west and look forward, as in Figure 116.
[Note: This version is missing the description of the pull down before lifting the leg. In the book, it says to cross the arms as the body turns. Then roll back (lu) and a pluck (cai) down, with the right palm on top as the body squats down.]

(四). 由前式左腳用腳跟向前蹬出, 同時兩手由額前分開, 左手前指, 右手向右後上方撐, 氣沉丹田以貫注兩掌, 面向西, 目視左指, 如圖117。
(4) [Continuing] from the previous movement, kick forward with the left foot by sending the heel out. At the same time, separate both hands from in front of the forehead, with the left hand pointing forward and the right hand bracing back towards the upper right. Sink the Qi to the dan-tian, and then focus [the Qi] into the two palms. Face towards the west, and look at the left [index] finger, as in Figure 117.
