2. Sweeping the Staff: Swing the staff tip horizontally below the waist; or swing the staff with the tip touching the ground and the staff body tilted. Sweeping the staff requires swift and powerful force, with the force reaching the staff tip.

3. Swing the staff: Swing the staff tip to the left or right with one or both hands. The swing should not exceed one full rotation, and when combined with a turn, it should not exceed two full rotations. The swing should be swift and powerful, with force transmitted to the staff tip.

The movement should be quick and continuous, with the stick rotating close to the body but not touching it.
