Keeping both feet in place, sit back on the right leg and bend the knee slightly to squat down, turning the body towards the right.

(2) [Continuing] from the previous movement, relax the waist and twist the waist towards the left. Swing the left foot toes outward and then push through the right leg to end in a left bow stance.

(4) [Continuing] from the previous movement, relax the waist and draw in [i.e., crease] the hip joint [kuà]. Send the right foot forward and kick [i.e., like a soccer kick that uses the top of the foot]. [At the same time], use the left hand to brace to the left rear direction at shoulder level. As the right foot goes forward, point the fingers of the right hand to stab forward at [shoulder] level. Sink the Qi to the dan-tian, and then focus [the Qi] into the four limbs of the body. Face towards the east and look at the right palm, as in Figure 129.
[Note: Additional information that was not included in the first two separate foot descriptions: withdraw the hip join and point the forward hand at shoulder level. The previous two postures also said the align the front hand over the foot.]
