Single Whip is done very
frequently in the Lao Jia and Xin Jia (7 times each) plus once
each in 18 Movements, and both |
cannon fists. Diagonal Posture
(Lao Jia #8), Diagonal Step (Lao Jia #11, 22 and 57; Cannon
Fist #7), and Twisted |
Diagonal Step (Xin Jia 1 #8, 11, 25, 65 and Xin Jia 2 #8)
all contain the hook hand and much of Single Whip,
but done
|
from the opposite side. As the
hook hand forms consider the point Lung 20 on the medial tip
of the thumb (pointed at by |
by the Emei piercer in the photo
below) - with the hand open (usually wider) this is a pattern
called "dragon's mouth" |
