Form 17: Low Form (right)



1. Lower right foot and place it in front of left foot. Then turn body to the left, using ball of left foot as a pivot. At the same time, raise left hand sideways to shoulder level and change it into a hooked hand, while right hand moves in an arc to the front of left elbow.
2. Squat down on left leg and stretch right leg sideways to form a right crouch step. Right hand thrusts sideways along the inner side of right leg while moving down into the crouch step.
3. Turn torso slight to the right and shift weight forward onto right leg. Right hand continues to extend forward and upward, while left hand drops behind.
4. Stand up slowly with right leg slightly bent. Meanwhile, bend left leg and raise it to waist level, keeping lower leg suspended. Open left hand and swing it forward past the outside of left thigh, then raise it with elbow bent, while right hand continues to rise and then presses down to the front of right hip.
