The answer has to do with the logical progression of maneuvers and where they are demonstrated in the forms. In Short Form One, only defense with the upper body was introduced. In Long Form One, striking with the upper body was introduced. In Short Form two, blocking and striking simultaneously with the upper body was introduced. In Long Form Two, striking with the lower body is introduced.

 

Note: One should learn of this progression to determine if it is expanded upon in future forms.
