Movement 8 and application 斜行

This post is merely sharing the application of movement 8, 斜行, or the diagonal walk.

The demonstration is done by my master, and me as the dummy.

There is a shoulder charge, as well as a few joint lock in this move. There are other variations, this is merely a demo that would help us to understand the superficial use of this move, hence reinforce your memory on this move.
