In the Wu style form, it is most evident in the first part of 'Raise Hands and Step Up,' in which the palms are facing in front of the body and the force comes through a forward body shift. The power derives from proper alignment and the Taiji 'bows' -- the curves in Han Xiong (Haam Hung) and the relaxed bend in the arms and hands.
