In the Taichido Newsletter Issue 1 - Jan. 2002 I took the opportunity to explain any perceived delay in the publishing of any follow up to the first article of "The Yang Form - Part Three". I can now continue that series by informing you that, notwithstanding the complexity of just a few postures, Part Three of the Yang Long form is perhaps the easiest of the three sections to learn. That is to say, if you have already learnt part one and two there is really not that much more to 'take on board' to enable this 'completion', yet the hardest thing about Part Three is the necessity to first learn, and then in way, forget parts One and Two!
This all really ought not be news to experienced martial artists, because the serious, determined and correctly focused Budoka would know that the accolade of a first black belt indicates only that this Budoka is at that point and in fact only just ready to begin!
This applies as much, if not more in Tai Chi where an irrefutable adage is, that it is "like an ocean" and "the further you go ... the deeper it gets".

My insistence on the "remembering and then forgetting" parts one and two of the form prior to learning any of the previously unencountered postures in part three is so because these do require a certain trained to instinctual level of flexibility, balance, orientation, spatial awareness, knowledge of martial application, well practiced and efficient footwork to accomplish correctly.
"Building" upon the framework of Tai Chi Form is like a the constructing of skyscraper; sufficient foundations must be laid before anything at all is erected on the site ... and the larger the building planned, the more foundation (which cannot be added to later) required!

The 'in motion' through 360° ( passing through 720 to achieve that) of 'Fair Lady' does I suppose expose a weakness in our video animation's, however, as a guide it is perfectly useful for the other singular or connected moves (which most of them are) in the Yang Long Form, and relatively easy to 'turn around'.
So the complexity of 'Fair Lady' (and where it is within the form) does endorse the adage that, it is "like an ocean" ... the deeper it gets". It is almost as if at this point on the voyage meridian's intersect like the weft and warp in the weave of a carpet, and there is a route from here to anywhere!

Those experienced in Tai Chi ought have a good working knowledge (gained through "everyday practice") of 'neat' and efficient footwork, balance and orientation - and thus be able to learn 'Fair Lady' sequence from our Net Guide, making adjustments for direction as they go along. It would/this is a challenge - but it can be done! (gauntlet/slap!)
As a further tip for the 'advanced' I would like to pass on that, at the the actual Taichido session that concentrated upon this series of postures, we also touched upon 'Whirling Arms' and the wrestling moves of 'Full and Half Nelson' (how to apply and how to get out of ) and of course, 'Sticking Hands'. Therefor, my suggestion for ongoing study in connection with 'Fair Lady' for the advanced is:

As a concluding curve ball for further contemplation may I urge you investigate 'Fair Lady' as an upending trip. The foot, leading with the heel in the case of an opponent at locations other than the front, is placed behind those of the opponent and the forearm (this arm and 'leading' leg is always the same i.e. right arm/leg left arm/leg) applies 'extended (yang) ward off that becomes the push that applies the trip.

For convenience only I will take the liberty to break down the remainder of this study into 'bite sized pieces'. The next installment in this series will continue to look at 'Fair Lady' and to that effect, work is now at the editing phase in producing an additional video of the posture in motion viewed from the rear. Successive and future studies will be broken down into the bite sized chunks of:
