Experimenting with posting videos on YouTube. In the clip below, I demonstrate some refinements I learned today about the move "Mantis Catches the Cicada." Three things are of note: first, the hands spin around eachother as if they are rotating around a cylinder; second, the right hand, when it forms the OU, just barely grazes the inside of the left shoulder; third, the right elbow is up, as if the OU is about to pull an incoming attack out and away from the body.
(I removed the video)
A couple details I don't show so well here because I just learned the refinement are that the wrist on the right hand OU should be bent as much as possible and probably rotated in the same axis at the elbow, not flat like I'm doing it. Also the index and middle fingers of the OU should be straight out, as if you were making a little walking person with your hand.
