I'm sorry, I know that this an art and profession that many people take seriously but, the picture of the low kick is hilarious for some reason...

Thanks so much for the instruction which summarizes the hand movements; we have not been so taught and sometimes we are lost in the vastness of the sea of Baji teaching materials ! One question: can these 24 hand movements form a set or are they a set already ?
