27.1 Turn the Body and Make a Circle with the Sword
Turn the body to the right. Turn the right toes out, and bend the right leg, with the left heel off the ground, forming a back-cross stance. At the same time, holding the sword in the right hand, make a circle with the sword and swing backhand from the right downward to the back. Lower the left sword-fingers in front of the right shoulder, palm down. Look at the sword tip. (Fig. 89 front and rear views)
Important Points
? When turning the body, first shift the body center back, turn the right toes out, and then shift the body center forward into a back-cross stance.
? When making a circle with the sword to the rear, hold the handle loosely, swing the sword straight backhand behind the body, keep the sword tip pointing toward the rear, and bring the sword back in an arc close to the body; make sure not to touch the ground with the tip of the sword.
Common Mistakes
? The right arm is turned outward, and the sword tip is hooked and stabbed to the rear.
? The head and the waist are bent, and the back is hunched.
