- Hi, I'm Lotus Blossom.
And today, you're gonna train with me.
First, we're gonna start by warming up with our slide steps.
You're gonna get into a fighting position,
and your back foot is gonna come to your front foot,
and your front foot is gonna step forward.
Then your front foot is gonna come to your back foot,
you're gonna step back.
Now, altogether it looks like this.

and reach over with your opposite arm.
