The push-down block sequence is as follows:
| 1) | Rotate forward into a right forward bow with a left push-down block, while simultaneously retracting your right arm to a right chambered position |
| 2a) | Immediately, rotate forward into a right front twist, while allowing your left arm to cock across your body |
| 2b) | Step through forward into a left neutral bow with a left, hammering, outward, overhead elbow, at face level |
| 2c) | Without any loss of motion, settle into the left neutral bow with a left, hammering, overhead claw, at face level |
| 3) | Repeat the sequence on the opposite side (toward 1:30H) |
| 4) | Repeat the sequence on the opposite side (toward 1:30H) |
The obvious information derived from this sequence is:
•it advances
•it utilizes the forward bow, twist, and neutral bow stances
•it demonstrates execution with the rear weapon (defensively)
•it demonstrates execution with the front weapon (offensively)
•it demonstrates in-place stance rotation
•it shows both sides of the sequence (opposites)
•the three sides of the sequence are execution without change in Point of Reference
Analyzing this sequence further exposes the following information:
•it demonstrates rotation then distance - forward
•it steps onto a minor angle (instead of a major angle) - advancing
•it introduces a new foot maneuver - twist through (forward)
Push-down Block Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the Push-down is:
•it is defensive
•it emphasizes the power principle of gravitational marriage
•it uses the hammering Method of Execution
•it is executed on a linear path of travel (vertically)
Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:
•the stance rotation enhances the execution of the block
Stance Rotation Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the rotation is:
•the maneuver positions the intended next weapon
Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:
•it completes rotation without distance
Outward, Overhead Elbow Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the Elbow is:
•it is offensive
•it is executed to mid range
•it emphasizes the power principle of gravitational marriage
•it uses the round-housing Method of Execution (vertically)
•it is executed on a circular line of travel (vertically)
Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:
•the foot maneuver (step) demonstrates distance without rotation
•the foot maneuver (step) enhances the execution of the strike
Overhead, Heel-palm Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the Heel-palm is:
•it is offensive
•it is executed to mid range
•it emphasizes the power principle of gravitation marriage
•it uses the round-housing Method of Execution (vertically)
•it is executed on a circular line of travel (vertically)
Analyzing this maneuver further exposes the following information:
•it demonstrates the opposite (vertical) direction to the Downward Block Sequence of Short Form Two (horizontal)
