In this video, I am demonstrating two different ways of setting up Snake Creeps Down / Squatting Single Whip.

Using the second method, I take three small "pivot steps" with my back foot, widening my stance, before I shift all my weight onto my back leg and descend into a squatting position.
Details: I pivot on my right heel...
