An analogy referring to a conceptual method of analyzing Kenpo forms that compares forms and setsto a dictionary, encyclopedia, and/or appendix.

Comments:

This analogy is illustrated as follows:

a.Forms short 1 - long 2 are compared to a dictionary - because their emphasis is upon shorter and less complex "definitions" of motion.

b.All forms above long 2 are compared to an encyclopedia - because their emphasis is on expounding in greater detail concepts, ideas, and motion.

c.All sets are compared to an appendix - because their emphasis is on examining and expounding concepts, ideas, and motionswithin a limited or concentrated context.

The purpose of this analogy is to help the practitioner categorize the individual Kenpo forms and sets,  thus starting the practitioner down the path to a better overall understanding of the forms and sets and the information contained therein.
