四一. 翻身撇身捶
(一). 由前式鬆腰，徐徐吸氣，後坐右腿，扣左腳尖，身右後轉對東, 同時左掌扶右腕內, 隨身轉向上向後翻轉; 右掌成拳豎立額前, 面對東北, 如圖122。
Posture 41. Turn the Body, Throwing Hit with Fist
(1) [Continuing] from the previous movement, relax the waist and slowly inhale. Sit back on the right leg and turn the left toes inward, turning the body back towards the right to face the east. At the same time, use the left palm to support inside the right wrist. Also, as the body turns, flip the right fist over and up towards the rear, change [the right forearm] to stand vertically in front of the forehead. Face the northeast, as in Figure 122.
[Note: The right hand is already in a fist, so it doesn't need to change from a palm to a fist as in the case of the posture after Fan Through Back.]

(二). 由前式坐實左腿, 提起右腳向東南移足一步成右弓步。同時右拳向前抛撇下壓,左掌由右臂上向前推按, 右拳收囬腰側, 仍爲陽拳, 面向東, 目視右[should be 左]掌, 頂頭塌腰, 空胸緊背, 氣沉丹田以貫注右[should be 左]掌, 如圖123。
(2) [Continuing] from the previous movement, sit solidly on the left leg and raise the right foot. Shift [the right foot] one step towards the southeast to end in a right bow stance. At the same time, throw the right fist forward and press down [with the fist and forearm]. Move the left palm over top of the right arm and push forward, while [at the same time] withdrawing the right fist to the side of the waist as a Yang fist. Face the east and look at the left palm. Push through the crown of the head and settle down into the waist. Empty the chest and tighten the back. Sink the Qi to the dan-tian, and then focus [the Qi] into the right [should be left] palm, as in Figure 123.
[Note: The mistakes reversing left and right on the poster were corrected in the book.]
