The outward block sequence is as follows:
1) | step to the left with the left foot with the execution of both a left vertical outward block and a right ninety degree straight punch |
2) | execute a left straight thrust punch, at head level, while simultaneously retracting your right arm to your right upper chest area |
3) | execute a right straight thrust punch, at head level, while simultaneously retracting your left arm to your left shoulder area |
4) | execute a left, snapping, vertical punch, at head level, simultaneously with a left, snapping, side kick, at shin level |
5) | draw the right foot toward the left into a right forty five degree cat stance while simultaneously retracting both arms to the left side in a 'cup and saucer' position |
6) | step to the right with the right foot, repeating the above sequence on the right side |
An analysis of this sequence exposes the following information:
•it utilizes two-in-one timing (simultaneously)
•it utilizes one-in-one timing
•it demonstrates both the direction of the punch (straight) and the block (outward) simultaneously
•it demonstrates both the use of the side of the weapon (block) and tip of the weapon (knuckles) simultaneously
•it's movements are directed to the horizontal plane (opposite of upward block / hammer-fist sequence)
•the right offset horse demonstrates the opposite side executed in Long Form One (and same for left side)
•it demonstrates the reverse triple sequence (rear, front, rear) to Long Form One (front, rear, front)
An analysis of this specific maneuver exposes the following information:
•the block is delivered with the opposite side of the weapon (arm) as the inward block
•the block utilizes isolated torque
•the strike is not properly aligned with the body (like a reverse punch)
An analysis of this specific maneuver exposes the following information:
•the strike is executed using isolated back-up mass
•the strike rotation (horizontal) is not proper for its executed height zone
•the strike is executed from a non-cocked Point of Origin
An analysis of this specific maneuver exposes the following information:
•the strike is not properly aligned with the body (like a reverse punch)
•the strike is executed using isolated back-up mass
An analysis of this specific maneuver exposes the following information:
•the striking surface of the kick matches the striking surface of the hand-sword
•the punch is executed using an opposite rotation (vertical) to the other punches in the sequence (horizontal)
•the punch rotation (vertical) is proper for its executed height zone
•the maneuver demonstrates the use of the two closest available weapons to potential targets
•the maneuver demonstrates no rotation, cocking, or adjustments of either strike (optimal prior positioning)
•the maneuver demonstrates vertical weapon (punch) rotation with horizontal weapon rotation (kick)
•the maneuver demonstrates the reverse weight transfer (minimal) of a forward bow
•the maneuver starts the upper weapon with lower weapon category (front with front)
•the linear line of travel shows the opposite (upward) direction to the Half-knuckle sequence (downward)
