The Little Nine Heavens Form: Movement 7


7. 穿掌抱球
Chuān Zhāng Bào Qìú
Pierce Palm, Hold the Ball



    Switch feet...
(Picture 7a)








    ...and step forward with your right foot into Sāntĭ Stance. At the same time, turn your right hand palm up and thrust it fingers-first forward at about throat height. Open your left hand palm down so the fingertips are touching the inside of your right elbow.
(Picture 7b) Missing Picture Coming Soon.



    Hook your right foot in and then shift your weight mostly onto it. (Picture 7c)









    Immediately, turn your right foot to point Southeast and shift most of your weight onto it as you turn your feet into a right Sāntĭ Stance facing East. Only turn your body to face South, and fold both arms inward into Hold the Ball posture, right hand on top.
(Picture 7d)
