Form 14: Zhuan Shen Tui Zhang (Turn Body and Push Palm on Right & Left Sides)

Zhuan Shen Tui Zhang is named after its form of movement－――turning the body and then pushing the palm.

Detailed Explanation
Take Left Side as an example.
Lower limbs: Buckle the left foot and turn the body right backward around the left heel and right sole; step forward with the right foot, and move the left foot in the same direction to form a left "T" shaped stance.
Upper limbs: As the body is turned, drop the right palm to the front of the abdomen via the right chest, and furt the left palm to the left ear side from obliquely behind the left shoulder; as the right foot is moved forward, have the left foot follow it to form into a "T" shaped stance, and sweep the right palm over the right knee till the right crotch side, with the palm facing downward and fingertips facing upward; push the left paim forward, with the palm facing forward and fingertips pointing at the nose tip.

Key Point
When turning the body, keep the neck muscles, waist and crotch reiaxed and make sure that two feet are in distinctive empty and solid stances; when stepping forward, keep the center of gravity steady and the crotch sunk; move the trailing foot flexibly in harmony with the movement of pushing palm; when holding postures, bend the knee and keep buttocks down, with the knee of the supporting leg pointing at tiptoes. The distance between two feet is about 10 cm.
