The downward block / heel-palm sequence is as follows:
| 1) | rotate into a left neutral bow with a left downward block while simultaneously retracting the right arm into chamber |
| 2) | step through forward with the right foot into a right neutral bow with right thrusting heel-palm strike, while simultaneously retracting the left hand to a left cover position |
| 3) | draw the right foot toward the left into a right forty five degree cat stance while simultaneously retracting the right arm across the waist with the execution of a double-factor, left inside downward, palm up block |
| 4) | rotate into a right neutral bow with a right downward block while simultaneously retracting the left arm into chamber |
| 5) | step through forward with the left foot into a left neutral bow with left thrusting heel-palm strike, while simultaneously retracting the right hand to a right cover position |
The obvious information derived from this sequence is:
•it advances from the transitory (cat) position
•it only utilizes the neutral bow stance
•it shows both sides of the sequence (opposites)
Analyzing this sequence further exposes the following information:
•the sequence steps onto a minor angle (instead of a major angle)
•the sequence introduces the heel-palm strike
•the sequence starts the 'x' pattern (only the lower part)
•the foot maneuver demonstrates the step through forward with a strike (instead of a block)
Downward Block Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the Downward Blocks is:
•the block is defensive
•the block emphasizes the power principle of torque
•both blocks use the hammering Method of Execution
Heel-palm Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the heel-palm is:
•the strike is offensive
•the strike is a long range weapon
•the strike emphasizes the power principle of back-up mass3
•both strikes use the thrusting Method of Execution
•this is the first demonstration of the heel-palm strike in the forms
Transition Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the transition is:
•Point of Reference in stance is not 6:00 - but rather 4:30
•the transition is 225 degrees (left) and 90 degrees (right)
