The seventh step is the Ju Men Pu, or Entering Pivot. This consists of a short retreat, heel first, without shifting the body weight. It is also the basis for the Iluo Nei Kuo (Capture by Passing) of Tonpo. Practice is most effective when turning the corner.
Fig. 18 -Approach the barrier, press against it, resting the weight forward. Place the near hand by the knee and the back hand close to the face. Slowly lean the head forward and peek around the corner. The lower this is done, the smaller the chances are of being observed.
Fig. 19 -Having determined that movement can be accomplished safely, draw the head back out of sight. Step quickly around the corner with the lead foot (in this case the left), placing the heel in the final position shown. The right leg does not move at this point, thus placing one in a wide Horse Stance diagonally against the edge of the building. The back glides around the corner without touching it as the weight is shifted onto the left leg. When the hips have cleared the wall, the right leg is drawn around to close the stance. Press your back to the wall and check to see that this action was not seen before proceeding.
This step also appears in the combat applications of Ninjitsu and is used in much the same manner as the entering pivot of Aikido, to grab the enemy's wrist, lift it above the head, step underneath, turn, and put the opponent in a wristlock.
