APPARENT CLOSE UP
If someone tries to attack with choke, you should open both palms
underneath his palms. Photo No. 58. Then circle his arms around
and push him away. Photo No. 59.
QUICKLY PUNCHING FIST
This posture comes from the Old Yang Style and uses very quick
snapping punches and blocks. As you are attacked with left fist (or
right), you block very quickly with your right palm in a circular
fashion. Photo No. 60. Now you use snap punch to the lower rib
area, snapping your fist as it contacts. Photo No. 61. I will be covering
the various ways of punching and kicking later.

BACKWARDS LOCKING PALM
This posture also comes from the old Yang
Style and is used against a right or left low
body punch. As the punch is being felt, the
right palm (or left) blocks to your left in a
small circle. Photo No. 62. Now your right
palm hooks and traps the arm by making a
counter clockwise circle. Photo No. 63. This
can evolve into an arm lock or throw. Photo
No. 64.
This is the end of the first 3rd of the form.
