1a)

Double Punch / Wide Horse

Coordination

•

Improper strike / foot maneuver timing

-

Upper body maneuvers should be timed to conclude simultaneously with settle into wide horse stance

Gaze

•

Improper point of reference

-

Attention should be directed to rear (over shoulder)

Execution - Economy

•

Improper arm path of travel

-

Hands should stay just within the upper boundary of the outer rim

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper stance width

-

Horse should conclude slightly wider than shoulder width

2a)

Double Elbows

Coordination

•

Improper strike / foot maneuver timing

-

Upper body maneuvers should be executed as isolated maneuvers and not combined with the foot maneuvers of the following sequence

2b)

Head Butt

Coordination

•

Improper strike / foot maneuver timing

-

Upper body maneuvers should be timed to conclude simultaneously with rise into narrow horse stance

•

Improper strike / arm maneuver timing

-

Arm / hand maneuvers should be timed to conclude simultaneously with head strike

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper stance width

-

Horse should conclude slightly narrower than shoulder width

•

Improper stance alignment

-

Back should conclude in an arched backward position (not leaning backward) to help accentuate (and properly align) head strike

3a / 4a)

Stance Transition (Rotation) / Heel Kick

Coordination

•

Improper foot maneuver / kick timing

-

Rotation into rear bow should conclude prior to execution of kick, creating distinct maneuvers

Execution - Economy of Motion

•

Improper cocking of weapon (foot)

-

Kick should be delivered from point of origin on floor, following a direct, linear path (not cocked prior to execution)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper body rotation

-

Entire body (and foot) should be rotated onto opposite major line (3:00H-9:00H), into rear bow stance (concluding with both heel and center-line facing this major line), prior to kick

•

Lean of stance (forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout execution of maneuvers (not arched)

•

Improper arm positioning

-

Arms should remain pinned to body throughout execution of maneuvers

Execution - Execution

•

Improper weapon execution height

-

Kick should be executed to knee height

3b / 4b)

Side Kick

Coordination

•

Improper maneuver conclusion

-

Kick should be concluded prior to execution of scraping stomp, creating distinct maneuvers

Execution - Economy of Motion

•

Improper cocking of weapon (foot)

-

Kick should conclude at potential point of contact of strike (and not be retracted)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper body rotation

-

Entire body should be rotated back to facing forward with execution of kick

•

Lean of stance (sideways)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout execution of maneuver

Execution - Execution

•

Improper weapon execution height

-

Kick should be executed to knee height

3c / 4c)

Stomp

Execution - Path

•

Improper execution angle

-

Stomp should be executed vertically (12:00V-6:00V) (not on a diagonal path)

Execution - Economy of Motion

•

Improper cocking of weapon (foot)

-

Stomp should start at the exact point in space where kick concludes (kick should not be retracted from perceived contact point)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper weight distribution

-

Stomp should conclude with 95%+ of weight on striking foot

•

Lean of stance (forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout execution of maneuvers

5a / 7a)

Transition

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper stance

-

Maneuver should conclude in reverse bow (not horse)

•

Lean of stance (forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout execution of maneuvers

•

Improper arm positioning

-

Maneuver should conclude with both arms toward rear of body (hand stacked vertically on top of forearm of extended arm, palm down)

5b / 7b)

Outward Elbow

Coordination

•

Improper strike / foot maneuver timing

-

Strike should conclude simultaneously with settle into forward bow

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper stance

-

Maneuver should conclude in forward bow (not neutral)

•

Lean of stance (forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout execution of maneuvers

•

Improper hand positioning

-

Non-striking hand should remain on opposite side of body to striking hand (optionally pulled diagonally backward and downward in opposition to strike)

•

Improper hand formation

-

Non-striking hand may be left open or converted into fist (simulated grab)

6)

Transition

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper foot positioning

-

Maneuver should conclude with heels touching and feet extending forward diagonally

•

Improper arm positioning

-

Correct arm positioning:

·Previously striking arm should use body fusion to maintain same relative positioning in relation to body with foot maneuver

·Opposite arm should use body fusion to maintain same relative positioning in relation to body with foot maneuver

8)

Transition

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper arm positioning

-

Correct arm positioning:

·Previously striking arm should use body fusion to maintain same relative positioning in relation to body with foot maneuver

·Opposite arm should use body fusion to maintain same relative positioning in relation to body with foot maneuver
