Outward Block Sequence

form_pattern_outward_block

 

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 opposite side (toward 3:00H)

 

The obvious information derived from this sequence is:

it advances from the transitory (cat) position

it only utilizes the offset horse stance (excluding the transition)

it introduces the execution of front with front weapon

it introduces punching with the front hand

it introduces offense with offense

it introduces execution of upper with lower weapon

it introduces kicking

it demonstrates defense with offense

it demonstrates the execution of front with rear weapon

it demonstrates both sides of the sequence (opposites)

the two sides of the sequence are execution in reverse directions

 

Analyzing this sequence further exposes the following information:

it uses the power principles of back-up mass (punch) with torque (block)

it isolates the power principle of back-up mass

it introduces punching to the high zone

it is executed to the horizontal plane

it demonstrates circular with linear execution

it demonstrates linear with linear execution

it introduces triple striking (offense) to match triple blocking (defense) of Long Form One

it demonstrates triple linear strikes

 

Outward Block / Punch Specific Information

The obvious information derived from the maneuver is:

the block is defensive

the block is executed using the thrusting Method of Execution

the block is executed using circular path of travel (horizontally)

the punch is offensive

the punch is executed to short range (because of no stance rotation)

the punch is executed using the thrusting Method of Execution

the punch is executed using linear line of travel (horizontally)

 

Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:

it demonstrates execution of front with rear weapon

it demonstrates defense with offense

it demonstrates circular with linear motion

it demonstrates execution of middle with middle zone

Punch #2 Specific Information

The obvious information derived from the punch is:

it is offensive

it is executed to long range

it is executed to the high zone

it is executed using the thrusting Method of Execution

it is executed using linear line of travel (horizontally)

 

Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:

the strike introduces punching with the front hand

 

Punch #3 Specific Information

The obvious information derived from the punch is:

it is offensive

it is executed with the rear hand (alone)

it is executed to short range (because of no stance rotation)

it is executed to the high zone

it is executed using the thrusting Method of Execution

it is executed using linear line of travel (horizontally)

 

Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:

the punch is exactly like first punch - but without the block

 

Kick / Punch Specific Information

The obvious information derived from the maneuver is:

the punch is executed with the front weapon

the kick is executed with the front weapon

the maneuver is offensive

the maneuver is executed to long range

the maneuver is executed using the snapping Method of Execution

the maneuver is executed on a linear line of travel (diagonally)

the maneuver demonstrates very minimal weight transfer to supporting leg

 

 

Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:

the kick demonstrates a new point of contact with the foot (side)

the maneuver demonstrates execution of upper with lower zone

the maneuver introduces execution of front with front weapon

the maneuver demonstrates offensive with offense

the maneuver demonstrates linear with linear motion

 

Transition Specific Information

The obvious information derived from the transition is:

the maneuver is the opposite side of the inward / outward transition

it is 90 degrees

 

Analyzing this sequence further exposes the following information:

it steps back to the same direction from which it transitioned
