The glance is far, the arms go up parallel, the two palms
face. The impression is to hold a large balloon between the hands,
but also to bathe the centre line of your body with this balloon. Arrived at
height of the shoulders, the hands turn, fingers slightly to the sky, palms
slightly forwards and bottom. Gradually, the wrists 'se cassent', the
idea is to support (to push ?) downwards with the base of the palms (the part
towards the wrist). At the same time the elbows subside. The hands,
the elbows go down and approach the body. The hands take a horizontal
position while arriving at semi-thigh, the fingers directed towards
the front one.
The legs rehand right, do not bend your knees and do
not tend behind them.
The body bends down slightly, by bending the knees, and while being slightly rolled up on the top of the stomach. The left hand almost does not move, just a very small distance towards the left. The right hand rises in front of oneself, with horizontal, palm towards the ground, from the interior towards the outside of the body. There is a very large sphere under this hand. The wrist is rounded, the end of the fingers is directed towards the left. The hand arrives at the solar plexus distant of this one of approximately 15 cm. The elbow forms a right angle.
Then, the head turns to the North-East. The weight passes completely on the right leg, the right hip is above the right knee, above the heel too. It is necessary well to turn the head starting from the base of the neck, it is as to arm a spring. The head continues its rotation towards the east, then the shoulders, the size and the hips return in their normal position compared to the head, which causes the rotation of all the body on the right leg, by keeping the weight on this one. The left shoulder is in north, the right in the south. The right foot is directed towards the east, the left foot did not move. The hips are perpendicular to the leg which carries the weight, it is a general rule. During this rotation, the right hand moved away from the body, the elbow opened so that the arm forms a round-off in front of the body, the hand is not rounder but flat, the slightly broken wrist, the end of the fingers is raised a little. The left hand is above the left foot, in the same orientation. One pushes back vis-a-vis with oneself. The glance is posed on the right hand when this one goes up in front of the body, then looks at on the right, collects the right hand when the body returns in the axis, then looks at far in front.
The right hand keeps moving away slowly from the body, the head turns towards the left, vis-a-vis to north, the body turns a little until the North-East. The left hand swells, fingers towards the ground, palm towards the body. The hand rises while bringing back the left foot. It arrives in front of the plexus, the fingers directed towards the right. The left leg is directed in north, the foot hangs, slightly in the air. While the hand goes up, the body turns still a little to the left, vis-a-vis with the north-north-east. Then one poses the left foot in front of oneself, the hardly re-entered point. The external edge of the foot is directed in north, or a little more towards the interior if it is more comfortable, but the heel must be outside the right heel, or on the same line according to morphology. The body is turned vis-a-vis to north, the right hand goes down to semi-thigh, directed in the same direction as the right foot, palm towards the ground. The left hand goes up on the level of the bottom of the chest, palm towards oneself, fingers on the right. The arm is round. You pass the weight while pushing with the back of the left hand. The left knee is above the toes, but it does not exceed them. The hips are perpendicular to the left leg which carries the weight. The right leg rehands slightly bent, the knee do not fall but on the contrary it is pushed back slightly backwards, above the toes him also, according to the opening of the left elbow. The glance is placed on the interior of the left hand then far in front.
The same way as for the 3rd move, but symmetricaly, the head
turns to the right, the right hand brings back the right foot. First right
hand swells, fingers towards the ground, palm towards the body. Then the
hand rises while bringing back right foot. the body
turns on the right towards north-east. The right hand ends its move
horizontally, palm up, fingers towards the left.
The left hand has just turned on itself, palm to the ground, fingers
towards the front, wich is East. The right arm is round, quite horizontal.
The two hands are at the height of the plexus. Your left hand is towards
your right elbow. The two hands look like a cross.
Then you put down your right foot forward, to the East. Finish to turn
your body to the East, then move your weight (body) on your right foot.
The idea is to catch an arm by the wrist and the elbow, then to push it.
The sight is to the right when the right hand come up, then inside the
right palm, then far awy.
5 th MOVEMENT : 1st part ; Pull
The hands turn while they go farther, then a little to the up, then a little down
to be at the same height as at the beginning. You turn the arm you just have caught,
without letting it down. The left hand just turn on its axis, palm to the sky. The
right hand (it's quite harder to explain...) : just release your wrist, letting your
fingers going down, then turn your front-arm until your fingers
point the sky. You have your cross again. Round your left arm, specially your left wrist,
but don't round your fingers , keep them straight.
then your shoulders turn to the left, your head facing the north, your weight on
the left leg, your hips turned, following the shoulders, to the left leg. You watch
your right hand, without bending the head. Do not press your right arm on your body,
keep a circle there too. Push you right elbow outside, your left knee too.
5 th MOVEMENT: 2nd part ; Press
Then the head faces the East. The left hand goes slowly to the North in a little vertical circle, then come back against the right wrist, palm to the East. This move can be just a rotation of the left front-arm going a little back to the North-West, or as described above, a circle to the North. It's your choice. The right hand turns, palm towards the West, fingers to the North. Still a circle with your right arm (horizontal). A second circle with your left arm (vertical). The body turns to the right. The left hand comes to the right hand, wrist to wrist. You look that cross, then far away. Then you come back on your right leg. Open your fingers, bend your wrists.
The left hand comes over the right wrist, fingers to the ground. Palm is towards you.
The right hands turns too, fingers to the ground, palm towards you. Then the two hands
go away from each other. The arms are parrallel, not tended.
then the two hands become horizontal. Push to the up with your hand's back while
raising the arms until you're at the level of your neck. Then bring your hands back
to you, as in the 1st movement. You move on your back leg (it's the left one).
Move down your hands to your belly, but not too much down (not to your low-belly).
Then you turn your fingers to the sky, the palms facing each other. All your attention
is on the external side of your hands. You move on your right leg, you look far away.
Don't push !!!!! Just move on. Still are your legs bended.
7 th MOVEMENT : The single whip
Relax your wrists, let your hands become quite horizontal but with the end of the
fingers a little up, put your weight on the back leg. Turn your head to the left, turn
your shoulders following the head, your hands raise to the height of your eyes, the
palms outside. The left hand is a little horizontal, the fingers towards the right.
Keep moving until you face the North-West. The right foot turns with the right hand,
until it faces the NNW. At that time your body is towards the NW. Your eyes watched
at your left hand's back, then to the NW. Then the two hands go palm down down to
half-tigh. Then they move to be palm towards you, fingers towards the ground. Turn
your head to NE, let your right hand go away in the NE, the weight follows.
When you are totally on the right leg, the right hand goes up to the eyes. The
fingers still face the ground, all together joined. The left hand is under the right
hand, facing the belly, still palm towards you, but the fingers to the East.
The left foot come close on half-point. the body is turned to the N-E. The left thigh opens to the W.
Do not contract your belly in this move, take a little time to relax while you're on your right leg.
Then the left hand raise up in front of your body up to your eyes (just a little bit under).
You look inside this hand. Then you turn your head to the W, you put your left foot towards the W.
Move back your shoulders and your hips, facing the W. The right arm quite doesn't move, just a little
opening at the end. Then the left hand turns fingers to the sky, then palm to the north, pushing in the
external side of the hand to kick to the Was it goes down to the plexus.
You look at your left hand when it turns. Your weight is still on your right
leg, the right hand a little bit upper than the left one, upper the right shoulder too.
Turn with all your body, from shoulders to the hips. When you are completely to the W, pass your weight.
You look far away, your attention is on the external side of your left hand. Open slightly your right shoulder
to move your right hand above your right foot. The right hand
stays upper your shoulders, the left hand is lower.
8 th MOVEMENT : Elévation of the hands
Turn your head to the N, with all your weigh on your left leg. Turn your left foot slightly, about 5 degres Then turn your body. Move your hands towards each other, in front of you, emptying your wrists, the left hand near the right elbow, the two hands opened horizontaly, right palm to the left, left palm to the right. Move your right footnear your left foot, then move it half-step in front, on its heel, toes up. Relax your legs, check your back, your head, let your knees go away from each other, still above the toes. The idea is to catch a fist coming from N. You press the wrist with your left hand and the elbow with your right hand. Your fingers are a little turned to the sky.
The head turns a little to the left, you turn your shoulders. The left hand goes behind, the right hand follows. When your right hand faces the left hip, the left hand comes back on a vertical circle to the right shoulder. The right arm is round the right palm turned to you. The left palm is to the N. The hips do not move, just turn your shoulders. At the end you bring back your right foot on its half-point. The head faces the N-N-W. The idea is to pull the arm you'd caught before, then you hurt the face of your opponent with your left hand.
10 th MOVEMENT : The white grue opens its wings
Make a step with your right foot to the N-N-W. Pass your weight, you're just pushing in your left hand. When your wheight is on your right leg, turn your head to the W. Then all your body turns to the W, the right arm goes up, the left hand goes down, it moves nears the right elbow, then down beside the left tigh. The right hand moves up to the through with the palm facing you, then it turns outside going a little on your right, over your eyes. The left foot comes near the right heel, then towards the W, on the half-point. We push with the external side of the left hand to the left, with the right hand to the up and right. Your left hand is in the same direction as the left foot, towards the W, at a little distance from your body. You have to be very relax in that move, very smart, really guess you are a bird opening your arms to show how beautiful you are. All three members (2 hands and left foot) come at the end at the same time. You look at the W.
11 th MOVEMENT : To brush the left knee
Your head turns to the left, your shoulders too. The right hand moves down turning opposite to the former move.
the palm is up, fingers to the S, the arm is round in front of the stomach, the hand is quite on your left. The left
hand turns palm to the Sky, fingers to the S-S-W, raising on the left, bending the elbow. You watch your left hand,
your attention in the palm, pushing to the sky. When the hand is at the height of your shoulders, turn your head to
the right, moving back your shoulders in an NE-SW axis. The left hand keeps moving, pushing to the right, to the North. Your left palm
is to the North, fingers are to the sky. The arm is an horizontal circle in front of you. It turn around the elbow.
Look at your hand's back. The right hand turns palm to the N-W as it verticaly moves in the following of the shoulder,
towards the N-E, up to the high of the shoulders. Then bend your right arm, moving your hand to your ear, palm towards
you, fingers to the sky. Open your fingers the more possible. Relax your elbow, let it going a little down. Bending the
arm makes your left leg opening, making a step to the W. Put your heel, then all the foot. Your left arm is still at the
heigh the shoulders. Then you turn your shoulders towards the W, the right hand moves middle of your chest, the left
hand push forward then to the left, moving down near your left knee, half-tigh. The right hand, palm to the S,
fingers up, moves away. Push in your right elbow too, to keep your arm circle. We say "brush the knee" but the hand is
not so down, it is at the half-tigh. You see your hand coming in the middle of your chest, but don't look at it. Then look
front of you. Your attention is in the external side of your right hand.
Don't bend your fingers !!!
Then pass you weigh on the left leg.
Explanation : rabattre a right fist with your right hand while turning your body to avoid the kick. Push your opponent's right shoulder with your left hand, push him to your right, then push on him with the left hand and hurt him with your right hand.
12 th MOVEMENT : Playing pipa (the guard)
Push a little more your right hand, move your weight all on your left leg,
move up a little your right feet. Don't go up yourself,
just turn a little your shoulders, following the push. Don't move your left hand.
Then put your right foot back, a little more on the S than before, the point is behind the left heel,
in a N-N-W direction. Then turn your hips to the right leg, and move back, just pass your wheight on the right leg.
The two hands come closer, the left a little upper the right. Move your hand and your arms only when you are on your
right leg.
The right hand is palm to the ground, close to the left elbow. The left palm is towards the sky.
Move your left foot just a little up then down on its heel, toes up.
The idea there is still to catch an arm, like in the 4th movement.
13 th MOUVEMENT : Brush the left knee
Turn your shoulders to the right, your arms and your hands turn together to be in the same position as in the 11 th movement before you make the step. Your left hand is palm towards the ground, your left arm is in a circle in front of you.
14 th MOUVEMENT : Brush the right knee
In that move, we'll brush the right knee as whe did the left in the move, with a step. First turn your head to the S-S-W, put your right hand horizontal, your body turns to the left, the left hand turns palm to the sky, pulling the left feet point, then moving away to the S-E following the left shoulder. You must have all your weight on your left leg, beware of your knee, it has to stay in the axis of the leg, over the foot's point. Your foot comes to the S-S-W. The left hand turns slowly palm to the front, quite S-W, in a vertical plan. Fingers are to the outside. Then bend your elbow, hand toward the ear. Make your step (right leg), put sweetly your heel, then your foot. Your right arm is still in front of you, at the height of your shoulders. Turn your shoulders back to the W, move your left hand to the middle of your chest, while your right hand goes slowly outside your right tigh. Your left hand is palm to the N, the right hand is palm to the ground, in the same direction as your right foot. Then pass your weigh on your right leg.
15 th MOUVEMENT : Brush the left knee
C'est le symétrique du précédent.
La tête tourne vers la right, la hand left se rabat à
l'horizontale devant soi, le body se tourne vers la right, la hand right
se retourne paume vers le ciel en tirant la pointe du foot right dans une
direction N-N-W, puis s'éloigne dans le prolongement de
l'épaule. Ce faisant, elle se tourne progressivement paume vers
l'avant, plutôt S-W même. Puis la hand passe dans un
plan vertical, doigts vers le bas d'abord, puis vers l'extérieur,
puis vers le haut. Le wrist se casse. Le arm se déplie vers le
S-est. Quand la hand arrive à hauteur de l'épaule, le foot
left se rapproche du right, la tête se tourne à right vers
l'W. Le elbow right se plie, les doigts se tournent vers le ciel, la
hand right vient au niveau de l'oreille, paume vers celle-ci, au-dessus
de l'épaule, le elbow right se baisse un peu. Pendant que le arm
right se plie, le foot left fait un pas à l'W, puis le arm
left s'éloigne légèrement, tout en restant arrondi.
La hand right descend un peu pour se retrouver devant la poitrine, toujours
doigts vers le ciel, tranchant extérieur vers l'avant. Les shoulders
se tournent vers l'W, la hand left balaie devant le 'knee' left
puis un peu plus loin sur le côté, pour se retrouver à
mi-cuisse, comme dans le mouvement précédent. En fait, on
dit devant le knee, mais la hand est au-dessus puisqu'elle arrive à
mi-cuisse. La hand right s'éloigne un peu pour frapper ou pousser,
l e arm est arrondi. On regarde la hand. Puis on passe le weight vers l'avant,
le regard se porte loin devant.
16 th MOUVEMENT : Playing pipa
Pousser un peu plus loin la hand right, lever le foot right qui se
rapproche du foot left. On reste à la même hauteur, on ne
se lève pas sur la leg left. La hand left ne bouge pas.
Puis on repose le foot right en arrière, à un bon demi-pas
du foot left, mais un peu plus au S. La pointe du foot right est derrière
le talon left, dans une direction N-N-W. On passe ensuite le
weight sur la leg arrière (c'est la leg right). Les deux hands
se rapprochent jusqu'à être dans un même plan, la left
un peu plus haute que la right. La hand right est paume vers le sol,
au niveau du elbow left. La hand left s'est retournée pour être
paume vers le haut. Le foot left se lève puis se repose à
un demi-pas devant le milieu du foot right, sur le talon, la pointe levée.
L'idée est encore de saisir un arm au niveau du wrist avec la
hand right et au niveau du elbow avec la hand left.
C'est le même mouvement que le douzith.
La tête se tourne vers la right, l'épaule right s'efface,
les deux hands partent vers la right, la left en se rabattant jusqu'à
être paume vers le sol, en arrondi devant le body. L'avant arm
left a une direction N-S. On regarde le dessus de la hand left.
La hand right se tourne progressivement paume vers l'avant, plutôt
N-W même, tout en s'éloignant dans le prolongement
de l'épaule. La hand passe dans un plan vertical. Le arm se déplie
vers le N-est. Quand la hand est à hauteur de l'épaule,
la tête se tourne vers l'W. Le elbow right se plie, les doigts
se tournent vers le ciel, la hand right vient au niveau de l'oreille,
paume vers celle-ci, au-dessus de l'épaule, le elbow right se baisse
un peu. Pendant que le arm right se plie, le foot left fait un pas à
l'W, puis le arm left s'éloigne légèrement,
tout en restant arrondi. La hand right descend un peu pour se retrouver
devant la poitrine, toujours doigts vers le ciel, tranchant extérieur
vers l'avant. Les shoulders se tournent vers l'W, la hand left
balaie devant le 'knee' left puis un peu plus loin sur le côté,
pour se retrouver à mi-cuisse, comme dans le mouvement précédent.
En fait, on dit devant le knee, mais la hand est au-dessus puisqu'elle
arrive à mi-cuisse. La hand right s'éloigne un peu pour
frapper ou pousser, l e arm est arrondi. On regarde la hand. Puis on passe
le weight vers l'avant, le regard se porte loin devant.
C'est le même mouvement que le treizith.
La tête tourne vers la left, la hand right se ferme en un poing (pour former le poing, fermer les doigts à partir de l'annulaire, puis rabattre le pouce sur l'index et le majeur. Le creux entre l'index et le pouce s'appelle la gueule du tigre.), gueule du tigre vers la hand left, le body se tourne vers la left, la hand left se retourne paume vers le ciel en tirant la pointe du foot left. Puis la hand left s'éloigne dans le prolongement de l'épaule et le poing right s'oriente gueule du tigre vers soi, au niveau de l'estomac, et le foot right vient à côté du left, leg fléchie, le foot pend légèrement. Ensuite, le poing right et la hand left montent en même temps. La hand left se tourne progressivement paume vers l'avant, plutôt S-W même. Puis la hand passe dans un plan vertical, doigts vers le bas d'abord, puis vers l'extérieur, puis vers le haut. Le wrist se casse. Le arm se déplie vers le S-est. Le poing right arrive au milieu du front, la hand left à hauteur de l'épaule left. On regarde ce poing qui monte, puis la tête se tourne à right vers l'W, et on tourne sur la hanche left de manière à pouvoir poser le foot right à l'W, éloigné d'un demi-pas, orienté vers le N-N-W. Le poing right se tourne gueule du tigre vers le N, la paume est vers soi, toujours à hauteur du visage. Puis le poing right se rabat vers le sol, la paume est vers le ciel, la hand left se rapproche à l'oreille, on passe le weight sur la leg right, le body se tourne à l'W. Le body continue de se tourner et se retrouve face au N-N-W, le poing est à la taille du côté right, la hand left et le foot left s'allongent vers l'W. La hand est paume au N, doigts à l'W, vers l'avant. Le foot left a fait son pas en avant juste avant que la hand arrive en position. La tête ne bouge pas, on regarde la hand left qui frappe du tranchant externe. Le body revient dans la direction de la tête, vers l'W. La hand left se redresse doigts vers le ciel et se rapproche du body, le arm left s'arrondit. Le poing right se retourne gueule du tigre vers le haut puis sort pour frapper, le arm right reste arrondi. La hand left est à côté du wrist right, en protection, mais aussi pour renforcer les pouls. Puis on passe le weight sur la leg left. Le regard est loin devant.
La tête se tourne légèrement vers la left, Puis les shoulders rattrapent le mouvement, le poing s'éloigne puis fait un petit cercle à left. La hand left tourne, doigts vers l'avant, puis paume vers le ciel et doigts vers le elbow right, tout en restant à left du poing right, et un peu en dessous. Le poing right se retourne, paume en l'air, gueule du tigre vers le N-W, puis il s'ouvre, doigts allongés. La hand left vient sous le elbow right, un peu derrière. Puis la tête tourne à right vers le N-W, on passe le weight en arrière, les shoulders et le body reviennent vers le N-W, la hand left s 'éloigne en cercle, on tire sur la hand right qui passe au creux du elbow left et vient devant le foie. La tête se tourne à left, face à l'W. Les shoulders et le body reviennent face à l'W, la hand left finit son arc de cercle, les deux hands se retournent paumes face au sol, les doigts sont vers l'W, les avant-arm sont parallèles, les hands sont légèrement relevées. Les elbows sont proches du body, sur les côtés. On passe le weight sur la leg avant, en poussant sur les doigts.
La tête se tourne au N, puis les shoulders et le body reviennent face au N. On tourne sur la leg left, le foot left est lui aussi orienté au N. Les deux hands se sont redressées, doigts vers le ciel, paume vers l'extérieur, au N. Pendant la rotation du body, les deux hands se sont éloignées, pour repousser avec les tranchants vers l'W avec la hand left et l'est avec la hand right. Le arm left est orienté N-W, le right N-est. Les deux hands sont au niveau du cou. Puis la tête regarde la hand left, puis la hand right, puis de nouveau au N. On fait un petit cercle avec la hand left qui vient ramasser au niveau de l'estomac, puis monte au niveau de la gorge. Les doigts se tournent d'abord vers la left, puis vers le bas, paume vers soi et un peu vers le ciel, puis la hand est à l'horizontale devant l'estomac, puis reste dans le prolongement de l'avant-arm. La hand right fait elle aussi un cercle, mais plus grand, elle vient ramasser au niveau du bas-ventre. La hand right passe à l'extérieur de la hand left. Les deux hands arrivent en même temps au niveau du plexus, les wrists sont croisés, sans se toucher. Les arm sont arrondis, les paumes sont face à soi, mais aussi un peu vers le haut, de manière à ne pas se recroqueviller mais garder une ouverture. Toujours l'idée de pousser dans les elbows. Puis remonter les deux hands ensemble à la gorge. S'enrouler quand on ramasse, ouvrir la poitrine quand les hands passent devant.
Fin de la 1ère partie.
