	STEP 1 Begin the form from the San Ti posture.
	STEP 2 Transitional movement The right foot comes close to the left, heel up; both arms go down to the sides of the waist, softly, with fists closed, palm down. Don't stop. This is performed in a soft way, at medium speed.
	STEP 3 The right foot goes back with speed, in a 45° angle to the right. Both fists strike in a circular fashion, drawing a wide circle at the height of the head. The thumbs point down, and the elbows point out. Make a short stop.
	STEP 4 Bring the left foot close to the right, 45° degrees, with the heel up, and sink your weight. Both fists twist and strike the dan tien area, palms up, the elbows very close to the ribs. Your body is facing the left, 45 degrees.
	STEP 5 Transitional movement Begin to step out with your left foot, while your fists come up, palms facing the chest. Don's stop.
	STEP 6 Transitional movement When your fists reach the level of the mouth, open your palms, and twist them counterclockwise, while your body advances forward. Don't stop.
	STEP 7 TIGER FORM: Split out with both palms, making a very small circle downwards, stopping at chest level. Your body is facing 45 degrees to the left. The left foot falls at the same time of the palms, and the right foot makes a short following step. The intention is of a tiger pouncing and catching its prey. The palms are open and the tips of the thumbs are facing each other. The spine and neck remain straight. The back is round. Stop for a while. (Movements 5, 6 and 7 must be done in a non-stop, continuous motion. You only stop when the palms strike out)
	STEP 8 From movement 7, the left foot makes a short half step 45 degrees to the left, and the right foot follows, coming closer to the left shin, heel up. The fists go down to the dan tien area. Sink your weight. Elbows very close to the ribs.
	STEP 9 Step out with the right foot and do the Tiger form again. Repeat as many times you want. TURN
	STEP 10 From the left tiger form (step number 7), hook up the left leg to the right. The right foot stays in place. The body turns to the right, and the hands stay at the same height.
	STEP 11 The left foot stays in place, while the right foot comes close to it, and the fists go to the dan tien area. Sink your weight.
	STEP 12 Step out with a right tiger form.
