THE POSTURES:

PREPARATION
You are being attacked by either left or right lunge punch to the
head. Raise your both arms as in the opening posture of the slow t’ai
chi form and block the on-coming arm on either side as you step
slightly to one side and forward. See Photo No. 6.Mow take another
step to behind the attacker and using a squeezing motion from the elbows,
pull down onto the shoulder area, (Gall bladder and large intestine
meridians) to bring him down backwards. See Photo No. 7.
The pull down motion should be a quick Jerking motion and not so
much a pull backwards. Breathe out and expand the lower abdomen
as you attack, as you should with all of the attacking motions. ARM
(push) TO THE LEFT
I have already covered 3 of the uses of this posture earlier, there is
another. The attacker strikes at your face with a left fist. You
block with your right palm as your left palm comes up underneath.
Photo No. 8. Next, you attack his face with an open left
palm. This is in the case of an attack from the side area.
