Long Form Two teaches:

1)

The concepts that the practitioner must learn:

a)Long Form Two continues to expand upon the information presented in Short / Long Form One and Short Form Two
b)Long Form Two reverses maneuvers demonstrated in Short / Long Form One

 

2)

The following new stances:

a)reverse bow - which introduces the following new concepts:
i)enhanced distance (in-place)
ii)Weight Distribution (40% / 60%)
iii)increase of distance without foot maneuver

 

3)

The following new strikes:

a)four, finger poke (horizontal / vertical) - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon contact point
b)side kick - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon type (foot)
ii)striking to new height zone (low)
iii)new weapon formation (foot)
c)hammer-fist - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon rotation
d)claw - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon contact point
ii)new weapon formation
e)back-knuckle - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon contact point
f)inverted, vertical back-knuckle - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon rotation
g)front kick - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon formation (foot)
ii)new weapon contact point (foot)
h)buckle - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon contact point (leg)
i)half-knuckle (closed) - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon delivery
j)instep (arch) kick - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon contact point (foot)
k)forearm (horizontal / vertical) - which introduces the following:
i)switch of intent (defense to offense) of physically similar maneuvers
l)two, finger poke - which introduces the following:
i)new weapon formation
m)vertical, back-knuckle
n)outward, overhead elbow
o)inward, overhead elbow
p)inward elbow
i)new weapon contact point (elbow)
q)upward elbow
r)back elbow

 

4)

The following new blocks:

a)universal block - which introduces the following:
i)defense with both front and rear weapons simultaneously
ii)defense to multiple height zones simultaneously (middle / low)

 

5)

The following new foot maneuvers:

a)crossover
i)front
ii)rear
b)twist through
i)distance / rotation
ii)rotation / distance

 

6)

The following new Methods of Execution:

a)Poking
b)Clawing
c)Round-housing

 

7)

Reinforces previously introduced concepts:

a)closed environment
b)transitional maneuvers
c)power principle isolation
d)'degrees of'
e)line of sight
f)two-in-one timing
g)isolation maneuvers

 

8)

Does not reinforce previous introduced concepts:

a)realistic positioning
b)covering / checking
c)'nip the tip'

 

9)

The following new (major) concepts:

a)sandwiching
b)threading (contouring)

 

Long Form Two falls into the category of a dictionary form. As such, it continues the following elements of the dictionary forms.

 

1)

The blocking sequence:

a)In
b)Out
c)Up
d)Down
e)extends the sequence with:
i)universal block
ii)inside, downward, palm up block
ii)inside, downward, palm down block
ii)push down block

 

2)

The form starts from the meditating horse stance

 

Long Form Two has a number of other elements it teaches / expands upon:

 

1)

It is specified as follows:

a)a predominantly advancing form
b)two-in-one timing
c)power principle isolation
d)intersection position
e)delivery of multiple maneuvers simultaneously
i)defense / defense
ii)offense / offense
iii)defense / offense

 

2)

An enhancement of stance rotation reasons:

a)power generation (extended)
b)reach of rear weapon (extended)
c)positioning of future weapon

 

3)

An enhancement of the ways two-in-one timing can be demonstrated

 

4)

Defense with offense simultaneously

 

5)

Defense and offense with the same hand

 

6)

Double factors:

a)retreating
b)advancing

 

7)

Switching rear hand to front hand and front hand to rear hand both for defense and offense

 

8)

An exposure of foot maneuver elements - distance / rotation:

a)change of distance with rotation (step through)
b)change of distance without rotation (cross over)
c)change of distance then rotation (twist through)
d)change of rotation then distance (twist through)
e)change of rotation without distance (cover without step - i.e. Point of Reference change)
