Form 6: Lou Xi Ao Bu (Brush Knee & Twist Step)

"Ao Bu"  (Twist Step), a martial art term, means pushing the right or left palm when the left or right leg is ahead so that hand and leg twists left and right. "Lou Xi"  (Brush Knee), a method used to attack the opponent' s lower part of the body, refers to the movement of hand brushing or pressing down the knee. The two postures are used in a combined way.

Detailed Explanation
Lou Xi Ao Bu-Left Side.
Lower limbs: Step forward with the left foot, with the heel falling to the ground; transfer weight forward to form into a left bow stance.
Upper limbs: Bend the right elbow, and take the right hand back beside the ear with the palm obliquely forward; drop the left hand down along right ribs to the front of the abdomen, eyes looking forward. Push the right hand forward with standing palm, with fingertips level with the nose; brush the right hand over the knee to the right crotch, eyes looking at the right palm.

Key Point
Step forward and transfer weight forward to form into a bow stance. Keep the waist relaxed, the crotch down and the upper part of the body centered, and turn the waist in line with the movement of upper limbs. When pushing the palm, use the inclined palm first with fingertips forward, rest the wrist and then change to the standing palm.
