Waterfall

Your shoulders should be relaxed and down.  Your right hand      should be positioned wherever your wish to start from; in this       case we'll start with it up at the left side of your face with the       palm facing away from you.  Now... first you need to press the     palm down towards the floor, then pull it back rolling the  hand     (Press, Roll, Press, Roll).  The next step is to think of your hand tracing a waterfall or steps.  Press your hand down when your     tracing the fall of the waterfall or the back of the step.  Roll it       back when your tracing the top of the waterfall of step.

Falling Leaf

In this move you combine a wrist circle and lotus 1 together.       Bring your pointer in when you push away from you and out         when you circle towards yourself.  The next step is starting up     by or above your head and circling downward.  This looks similar         to a leaf floating and twisting as it falls to the ground.

Broken Twigs

This is the staccato version of Snake Arms.Your shoulders         should be relaxed and down.  Your arms should be out to your    side( this does not mean straight out to the side but, at a slight   angle to the front).To start lift your right shoulder up.  Next, bring  your elbow up, then the wrist up.  Now, drop the right shoulder     while lifting the left.  Now drop the right elbow while bringing the   left one up.  Then follow with bringing the right wrist down while    bringing the left up.

Windmill

This is a very simple move to do and yet it can look very elegant. Starting with both your armsdown at your sides, raise the right   arm up keeping the palm  down or facing the right.  When you     reach the top and your right arm is over your head turn your palm so it faces the opposite direction ( left).  Now  do the same thing  on your left as you lower your right arm.  When your right arm     reaches the bottom your left arm should be at the top.  Turn your left palm to face right and your right palm to face left.  Raise the  right arm as you lower the left arm.  When your lowering your      arm make sure your right palm stays to the left of your head and your left palm stay to the right of your head. never cover up your  face your arm should only pass by it for a brief second.
