The performer begins in a natural stance, the weight evenly distributed on both feet (Fig. 97). He steps back with his right foot into the front stance, using his right hand to block a punch with the extended knife-hand block (Fig. 98). Pulling his opponent’s arm forward, he executes a roundhouse kick and then instead of stepping directly forward, he steps across at about a 45-degree angle with his right foot (Figs. 99-101). Using a counterclockwise turn of the body, he sweeps his left leg around into a front stance, simultaneously using the left extended knife-hand block (Figs. 102-103). Once in position, he is able to repeat the drill in the opposite direction, using a left roundhouse kick and then stepping across, rather than straight ahead, completing a circular movement by sweeping the right leg around in a clockwise turn and again blocking (Figs. 104-108). This has placed the performer back in the beginning position, and the drill may be repeated.
