The major information compiled from an analysis of this form is:

it creates a new classification of form - the extension form (which is an extension to the encyclopedic forms)

it is an extension to all previous forms

it is primarily self-defense based

it continues progressing integration of the salutation into the form

it introduces the reverse neutral bow, concave, and diamond (convex) stances

it introduces the ridge-hand, stomping (with ball of foot), neck break maneuver

it introduces truly leaving the ground (progression of hop-switch) (hop, jump, leap)

it introduces man-made weapons (preview of things to come)

it demonstrates the isolation sequences (speculatively) by isolating the top half (e.g. arms and hands) and using the bottom half of the body (e.g. legs and feet)

it demonstrates maneuvers starting with the potential opponent being at a disadvantage (on hands and knees)

it demonstrates using the ground (environmental object) offensively (vise-like maneuvers / take-down)

it demonstrates destabilizing the opponent through a variety of methods (buckle, sweep, trip, take-down, throw-down)

it demonstrates hidden (obfuscated) maneuvers

it demonstrates impractical maneuvers

it demonstrates maneuvers using complimentary forces

it demonstrates maneuvers using opposing forces

it demonstrates maneuvers within visual sight of the potential opponent (Zone of Visibility)

it demonstrates maneuvers outside the visual sight of the potential opponent (Zone of Obscurity)

it demonstrates multiple maneuvers on a single line (3-on-line)

it catalogs responses from a variety of attacks (both minor and major) ranging from: grabs (applied) - kicks, punches (in-flight) - weapon (stick) (in-flight)
