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
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
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
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
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
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
