<JUMP> HIGH!, bringing knees in close to the chest, and pivot Left (180*) while in the air. At maximum altitude your legs should be tucked in tightly to the chest, your chest faces E, and both fists should be chambered tightly at their respective hips. [!] Be careful not to let the elbows flop around while in the air. The points of both elbows should be pointing backward (ie. toward W)

<Land> in a crossed stance (the Rf x'd over the Lf) bent DEEPLY at the knees, and do a low X-block with closed fists (R fist over the L) <YELL!>

Raise your body out of the deeply bent stance as you slide your Rf forward

Pull the Lf back to the Rf into a "feet together" stance (chest-E). Maintain the hand positions,.. let them relax as the Lf is drawn back, then tense them again as the feet come together. Rising on the balls of both feet, pivot Left (180*) until the Rf is x'd behind the Lf (relative to N). [i.e. both feet and chest point toward W; the right foot is flat while the left foot is up on its ball.]
