The form is in the figure + pattern. From ready position facing forward, movement #3 forward, then movement #6 backwards. Movement #7 to the left followed by movement #4. Turning 180 degrees into movement #9 (right arm) then backwards into movement #16. turning 90 Degrees (right) into movement #5, then backwards into movement #14. Turn 90 degrees right into movement #19 then backwards into movement #8. This should bring you back to your original starting position.
This is just the first half of the form, with the second section as follows/same directions: 11 / 18 / 15 / 10 / 17 / 1 / 12 / 20 / 2 / 13.
