As stated in the Beginning / Intermediate section, the design of the lower four (4) American Kenpo forms (aka the 'dictionary' forms) is to start with the information presented in Short Form One and build upon it with each progressive form. One of the best ways to illustrate how this is accomplished is to step through the form and explain the information exposed from each maneuver - exposing how it compounds the information from the previous forms. Through this approach the reader will not only be exposed to some of the less known information presented in both forms but more importantly be exposed to constructing a thought pattern for comparing and contrasting information presented throughout the American Kenpo system. The importance of using this thought pattern for advanced analysis cannot be over emphasized. By analyzing American Kenpo through this specific methodology, one can begin to learn how to think properly about the composition of information contained therein and ultimately learn to self-expose more aspects of the design of American Kenpo, beyond what is presented in this guide. Or as SGM Parker put it: "learn to think for yourself."
