FINGER SET 2

Start from a meditating horse stance. Throughout the set, if only one hand is striking, the other hand should be checking at the middle of the chest. As in Finger Set 1, we do the Pokes (1-12), the Whips (13-16), the Slices (17-18), the Claws (19-25), and the Hooks (26-27) in groups.

1. Step with the right foot to 12:00 into a right neutral bow, with a right hand spear (palm down), at full extension, to the eye.

2. Switch the feet (front to back), step with the left foot to 12:00 into a left neutral bow with a left hand spear (palm down), at full extension, to the eye.

3. Step with the left foot to 6:00 into a right neutral bow with a right hand spear, at three quarters extension, to the solar plexus.

4. Switch the feet (back to front), step with the left foot to 12:00 into a left neutral bow with a left hand spear, at three quarters extension, to the solar plexus.

5. Step with the right foot to 12:00 into a right neutral bow with a right hand spear (palm up), at half extension, under the ribcage.

6. Switch the feet (front to back), step with the left foot to 12:00 into a left neutral bow with a left hand spear (palm up), at half extension, under the ribcage.

7. Step back with the left foot to 9:00 into a horse with a left elbow with right eye jab over the left shoulder. The elbow adds reach for the jab.

8. While maintaining constant height, bring the left foot back to the right and then step with the right foot to 3:00 into a horse with a right elbow with left eye jab over the right shoulder.

9. Bring the right foot back to the left and step with the left foot to 9:00 into a horse with double finger flicks to the eyes, as the hands return to the hips.

10. Still in the horse, do double hand spears (palms up) to the throat.

11. Do a right dart to the eyes, over the left hand, as you do a right front crossover to 10:30 into a right twist stance.

12. Step back into a horse. Do a left dart to the eye, over the right hand, with a left front crossover to 1:30 into a left twist stance.

13. Return to a horse, and pull the right hand up into the shape of a crane. Step with the right foot to 12:00 into a right neutral bow with a right two finger flick to the eyes, while the left arm covers low.

14. Step with the left foot to 12:00 into a left neutral bow with a left two finger flick to the eyes, while the right arm covers low.

15. V-step with the left foot back to 7:30 into a right 45 degree cat with the right foot pointing to 1:30, and step with the right foot to 1:30 into a right neutral bow with a right two finger flick to the groin.

16. V-step with the right foot to 4:30 into a left 45 degree cat with the left foot to 10:30 , and step out into a left neutral bow with a left two finger flick to the groin.

17. V-step with the left foot to 7:30 into a right neutral bow to 1:30 as the right hand circles upward and outward, to do a right inward slice to the eye (palm up), followed by an outward slice (palm down) to the eye. Start a third slice and then flow into the next step.

18. V-step with the right foot to 4:30 into a left neutral bow to 10:30 as you do a left inward slice to the eye (palm up), followed by an outward slice (palm down) to the eye.

19. V-step with the left foot to 9:00 into a left forward bow as you do a right horizontal inward heel palm to the face, which rotates into a claw to the face. The right hand then does an outward chop to the right side of the face, and then continues into a claw. Come inward again, and sink into a left neutral bow.

20. Step with the right foot to 6:00, pivot to 3:00 into a right forward bow as you do a left horizontal inward heel palm to the face, which rotates into a claw to the face. The left hand then does an outward chop to the left side of the face, and then continues into a claw.
