In this application, I highlight the first three moves:
仙 人 指 路 - Immortal Points to the Road
I use the principle of the keyword 叫 - jiào – "to call", which refers to inviting and provoking the enemy to react. I thrust my palm toward the enemy's face. He responds to my provoke by blocking with his lead hand.
提 腿 取 眼 - Lift Knee, Take Eyes
I immediately grasp the enemy's blocking arm with my left hand and threaten the enemy's eyes with my right hand. The initial palm thrust conforms to the principle of 虛 - xū - "false" and was a feint, while the attack to the eyes was my true intent. Thus, the eye attack conforms to the principle of 實 - shí - "real".
馬 式 - Horse Pattern
However, in this case the enemy responds by blocking my right hand with his left hand. I respond by converting my attacking hand into a grabbing hand, step my left foot behind his lead leg and use my left arm to toss the enemy over my left thigh, or I can strike his liver area with a side-ward punch..
