The right shoulder should not move forward but should also turn to the right. The elbow is brought towards the knee in a straight upward motion, while the right palm moves back towards the chest and is tucked under the left elbow. This causes the right elbow to bend, pointing slightly forward and upward. At this point, the left hand should have moved forward to assist the right elbow in exerting force. As the right shoulder turns to the right, the left foot pivots in a 45-degree arc to point towards 10:30.

Second Movement: Lift the right foot towards the left side of the shoulder-width line, about half a step away, touching the ground with the heel, while the waist continues to turn 15 degrees to 11:30 o'clock.
