Eighth among the Kuji Ashi is the Pien Pu, or Side Step. Though similar to the Heng Pu (Cross Step) in that movement is directed to the side, Pien Pu is employed to move more slowly in narrow spaces. Its best use comes when passing through a threshold, such as a door.
Fig. 20 -Press your shoulder to the wall, placing the lead hand near the hip and the rear hand near the shoulder. Crouch, and peek around the doorway, noting the position of any occupants or sentries. The lower this is done the more effectively hidden you will be, since most people tend to look and search at eye level first. Key your actions. to the movement of the enemy head by directing your attention to the base of his skull.
Fig. 21 -Withdraw the head, maintaining a slight body pressure against the wall. As quickly and silently as possible, push off with the rear leg (the right in this case), stepping clear across the door opening in one swift motion. This will look like a quick sideways hop, landing on the left leg first. As you cross by this method, glance at the enemy by turning to look over your right shoulder. This is the safest way to pass an open doorway.
Fig. 22-Having gained a position on the opposite side of the doorway, assume the illustrated position and check around the corner to insure that your movement was not observed.
If one is confronted by an open doorway at night, with light falling across the path, it is preferable to move outside the circle of light, remaining invisible in the shadows.
