     After moving slightly leftward initially, as your torso and, with it, your right leg, move rightward, your arms separate (fists uncross).  Your right arm moves rightward as your right wrist rotates outward, away from you, your fist slowly unclenching until your right palm finally reaches the corner, facing away from you (

     Right frog kick begins as you lift your left toe only (28) [W= 80L] and pivot on your left heel only [W= 90L]^³  toward your right, turning your left foot (28-30) from pointing toward the South to pointing toward the SW corner.  As you pivot, your entire torso rotates at your waist toward your right, turning your body from facing South to facing SW.  Both of your arms simply follow the chi movement here, remaining just as they were at the conclusion of backward step, beating the tiger throughout this pivot.  As your body completes turning 45°and faces SW, rest down your left toe (30).  Both feet now briefly point to the SW corner.
     After your left toe touches down, lift up your right heel only (30) and pivot on the ball (31) of your right foot [W= 90L] toward the right, turning your right foot from pointing toward the SW corner to pointing toward the West.  
As you pivot, your torso finishes rotating at your waist toward your right, turning your body from facing the SW corner to facing West. Both of your arms continue to simply follow the chi movement here, remaining in the same positions in front of you as your body turns rightward.  Your right foot now points toward the West and rests poised on the ball of the foot only as your left foot still points toward the SW corner.
     Completing right frog kick, fully shift your weight onto your left side [W= 100L] as you steadily lift up your right knee, pulling your left foot up off of the floor entirely. Continue to raise your right leg up until your thigh is about parallel with the floor and your right knee is at about waist level height with your right foot hanging beneath it above the floor (32).
     As you raise your right leg upward, your arms shift into new positions.  Your right hand lifts upward as your left hand drifts downward.  They meet at about your chest level directly in front of you with your elbows to the sides and your arms parallel with the floor (32).  Both hands have turned slightly as they shift, and closed into fists, so that as they meet before you, the backs of your hands (now fists) face upward with the knuckles of one fist just touching or grazing the knuckles of the other fist.
     Here's the kick!  Sink your chi by bending your left knee down a bit more, then spring back up, unbending your left knee again as you move your right foot forward in a kicking motion by rotating your lower right leg up from the knee (33).  As your foot rises to kick, your arms move away from you and away from each other at about shoulder level, with your fists unclenching and both palms facing downward as they separate (33).  As each arm begins to arc laterally back around toward its respective side of you, with your left arm moving South and your right arm moving North, your right foot slowly lowers down again to the floor.
    Right frog kick concludes as your right foot touches the floor with the heel only (34) [W= 90L], pointing West, as your hands, with palms still facing downward, prepare to reverse direction at the start of the next move, and next lesson (in which they eventually move away from you toward the West on the same shoulder level lateral arc).  Your left arm is nearly pointing South and your right arm is nearly pointing North.  Your left foot still points toward the SW corner and your right foot points West with your right toe up. (34)

PLEASE NOTE: OOPS! THE LAST FEW FRAMES SHOWING THE SECOND KICK IN THE SECOND IMAGE BELOW WERE MISTAKENLY LEFT OUT. ONCE I GET TIME TO REMEDY THIS (someday), YOU WILL KNOW BY THE ABSENCE OF THIS NOTE AND THE PRESENCE OF THOSE FRAMES.

(Remember to keep your knees and elbows at least slightly bent and your pelvis tucked in throughout the set.)

(If at all possible, it is suggested that someone read the text to you - or record it on a tape and play it back - while you slowly practice the form...and slowly is the best way to practice.)

notes:

^¹   Actually, your right hand reaches just a little further away from you than your left hand at this point due to the angle your torso is positioned at here relative to your arms.
                                                                                _go back_

^²   Your eyes follow the motion of both of your hands as they move in tandem, until the end of backward step, beating the tiger.  At that point, just before right frog kick begins, your gaze follows the movement of your left hand only as it rises upward. _go back_

^³   Note that here as you pivot the weighting is opposite to the previous pivots.  Before, the weight was sustained on the side opposite to the pivot foot, freeing up that foot to pivot nearly weightlessly.  Here, however, the weight is sustained on the side of the pivot foot, thus, the experience is quite different altogether. _go back_
