Form 15: Yu Nu Chuan Suo (Fair Lady Works at the Shuttle-Right & Left Sides)

Yu Nu Chuan Suo is named after the continuous and repeated movement towards four or two oblique corners, appearing like a young girl working gracefully at a shuttle.

Detailed Explanation
This movement is typicai of the Yang-style Tai Chi Boxing. Take right side as an example.
Lower limbs; Step right forward with the right foot, follow a step with the left foot, and move the right foot forward to form into a right bow stance.
Upper limbs: While stepping forward with the right foot, lift the left palm with fingers clinging to the inside of the right wrist to the front of the chest via the abdomen; as the left foot follows a step, turn the waist to right, circle two palms from left to the front flatly (with the righ,t palm facing upward), and then transfer weight onto the left foot; turn the waist to left, curve the right arm and turn it inward, circle the right palm rightward and backward flatly to above the right shoulder, and at the same time take the left paim back to the left waist side; as the right foot once again moves forward to form into a right bow stance, turn the waist to right, turn inward and put up the right arm until the right palm reaches the upper front of the right forehead; push the left palm forward from the waist, with the palm facing forward and fingertips pointing at the nose tip, eyes iooking at the left palm. This form has the same movements for left side and right side, simply in the opposite direction.

Key Point
Move flexibly and make sure that footwork is distinctively empty and solid. The turn of waist
should be in harmony with arm movements and footwork.
