Saber poem

“seven star and ride tiger hand over from left to right soar up, draw apart, contract, and expand elatedly”

” split the saber glancing left and right”

“pushing outwards crane spreads, inward”

”lotus in the leaves”

“Maiden plays to the 8 directions”

”tranquility of will when displaying sword”

“jumping to vigously hit a tiger”

’’spread and slant the saber like a walking duck, whipping the saber like pushing a boat in the current”

Three Harmonized Techniques-“sounds of horizontal free movements of saber between waist and chest”

”swaying saber left nad right jumping over dragons gate.”

“Phoenix returns to perch”
