Maneuver(s) - Topic / Issue

-

Suggested Improvement

1a-b-c)

Transition / Parry / Hammer-fist with Grab

 




Coordination

 




Improper strike / foot maneuver timing

-

Hammer-fist and grab should be executed to conclude simultaneously with settle into stance



Execution - Execution Angle

 




Improper strike angle

-

Hammer-fist should not cross center-line and complete relatively perpendicular to body and horizontal to ground



Improper grab angle

-

grabbing hand / arm should complete vertically (anchored elbow) and relatively parallel in-front of body (at shoulder width)



Execution - Alignment

 




Improper stance

-

Maneuver should conclude into offset horse (not neutral bow)



Execution - Economy

 




Improper start positioning

-

Maneuver should begin at conclusion of prior maneuvering without repositioning into current maneuver execution



Improper (defensive) path of travel

-

Rear hand should start parry with front hand following behind - creating a horizontal figure 8 pattern that is relatively parallel to body with a height of hip to shoulder (or face)

 

Maneuver(s) - Topic / Issue

-

Suggested Improvement

2)

Sweep

 




Coordination

 




Improper hand / foot maneuver timing

-

Upper and lower body maneuvering should be executed to conclude simultaneously with each other



Execution - Execution Angle

 




Improper step (sweep) angle

-

Repositioned foot should be placed onto right flank line (3:00-900)

(remaining stance shifts will then have proper execution angles without further foot adjustments)



Execution - Alignment

 




Lean of stance (sideways)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground upon completion of maneuver



Improper (final) positioning (upper body)

-

The upper body maneuvers should conclude into a cup and saucer position (not into a claw to face positioning)



Execution - Economy

 




Improper (offensive) path of travel

-

Lead hand should follow a circular path of travel from hip to face and back to hip height that is relatively parallel to and in-front-of body

 

Maneuver(s) - Topic / Issue

-

Suggested Improvement

3)

Unwind with Back-knuckle

 




Coordination

 




Improper strike timing (executed as isolated maneuver)

-

The strike should be timed to be aided by the stance rotation (with momentum of rotation continuing to aid following maneuver)



Execution - Alignment

 




Lean of stance (sideways)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground upon completion of maneuver



Execution - Execution Angle

 




Improper execution height

-

The strike should be executed to rib height

 

Maneuver(s) - Topic / Issue

-

Suggested Improvement

4a-b)

Straight Punch

 




Coordination

 




Improper punch / foot maneuver timing

-

Punch and retraction of hand execution should be timed to conclude with the settle into the forward bow stance, resulting in all movement stopping simultaneously



Execution - Execution Angle

 




Improper step angle

-

Repositioned foot should be placed onto right flank line (3:00-900)



Improper execution angle

-

The strike should be executed to a slightly downward angle (and on top of and perpendicular to the checking arm)



Improper retraction angle

-

Retraction should be linear and begin at conclusion of prior maneuver strike (not allowed to continue on circular path of travel)



Execution - Alignment

 




Lean of stance (forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground upon completion of maneuver



Improper stance

-

Maneuver should conclude directly into forward bow stance (not into neutral bow that then shifts into forward bow)
