June Emergency Phrases · Episode 7
The A-hand erupts from behind the flat hand — like danger rising out of nowhere.
Card 1 — Starting Handshape
Dominant A-hand (fist, thumb up) tucks below the non-dominant flat B-hand at chest level. That's your launch position.
Card 2 — Motion
One sharp upward arc. The A-hand brushes the back of the flat hand as it sweeps up and forward. Keep it decisive — the sign is the urgency.
Card 3 — Ending Handshape
A-hand lands above and in front of the flat hand, thumb pointing forward. Hold it just a beat so the message lands.
Card 4 — Usage
"Watch out — there is danger ahead."
Pair it with raised eyebrows and a serious face. Facial grammar isn't optional here; it's half the sign.
Tip: think of it as a fist punching up through a shield. Once you feel that motion, you won't forget it.
