The inward block / hand-sword sequence is as follows:
| 1) | step forward into a right neutral bow while delivering a hammering, right, inward block to the front while drawing the opposite hand to a positioned check position to the solar plexus area. |
| 2) | settle into stance with the execution of a right, hammering outward hand-sword to the front |
| 3) | step through forward into a left neutral bow, repeating the above two steps on the left side |
The obvious information derived from this sequence is:
•it only advances
•it only utilizes the neutral bow stance
•it only uses the front hand
•it shows both sides of the sequence (opposites)
Analyzing this sequence further exposes the following information:
•the sequence only uses the power principle of torque
•the sequence isolates the power principle of torque
•the sequence introduces the hand-sword
•the foot maneuver sets one of the major themes of the form - reverse motion of both Short / Long Form One
Inward Block Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the Inward Blocks is:
•the block is defensive
Right / Left Inward Block Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the two Inward Blocks is:
•the first block (right) uses the hammering Method of Execution
•the second block (left) used the thrusting Method of Execution
Hand-sword Specific Information
The obvious information derived from this maneuver is:
•the strike is offensive
•the strike is executed using the same arm as the block
•the strike introduces a new point of contact of the hand (side of hand)
•the strike is a long range weapon
•both strikes use the hammering Method of Execution
•this is the first demonstration of the hand-sword strike in the forms
Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:
•the strike introduces a Path of Travel on a diagonal plane
•the strike demonstrates an offense with the front hand (opposite of Long Form One)
•both strikes uses the hammering Method of Execution
•offense is the opposite of defense
•the hand-sword (open hand) is an opposite of the punch (closed hand)
