| d) | heel-palm - which demonstrates the following: |
| i) | new Point of Contact on hand (for offense) |

| i) | new Point of Contact on hand |
| ii) | Snapping Method of Execution (on horizontal) |
| iii) | Line of Sight (from cocked position) |
| iv) | degree of hand opening |
| v) | no two-in-one timing (but isolation of power principle) |
| vi) | transitory stance transition with strike |
4)
The following new blocks:
| a) | extended outward block - which demonstrates the following: |
| ii) | realistic positioning during the execution of the strike |
| iii) | technically outside of the Outer Rim |
5)
The following new stances:
| a) | wide kneel stance - which demonstrates the following: |
| i) | new height zone (for stance) |
| ii) | increased width stability |
| iii) | aka - lowered neutral bow |
| b) | reverse cat stance - which demonstrates the following: |
| i) | shifting of Point of Reference |
6)
New concept: sequence - which demonstrates the following:
| a) | allows for two-in-one timing |
| b) | concept of visualizing multiple maneuvers together |
| c) | concept of visualizing multiple groups of sequences together |
7)
Sequences:
| a) | inward block / hand-sword sequence - which demonstrates the following: |
| iii) | introduces (and maintains) realistic positioning (positional cover) |
| iv) | top part of '+' pattern |
| b) | outward block / punch sequence - which demonstrates the following: |
| i) | two-in-one timing on horizontal plane |
| ii) | element of isolated torque (in block) |
| iii) | sides of '+' pattern - i.e. '-' |
| c) | upward block / middle-knuckle sequence - which demonstrates the following: |
| i) | two-in-one timing on vertical plane |
| ii) | introduces figure 8 (without 'V' step) |
| iii) | element of isolated torque (in block) |
| iv) | step directly into unknown (without 'V' step) |
| v) | improper cover (into unknown) |
| vi) | middle-knuckle executed on vertical downward arc (circle) |
| vii) | shows what not to do (offense) |
| viii) | introduces 'knowledge checkpoint' for student |
| ix) | bottom part of '+' pattern |
| x) | finishes '+' pattern by executing sequence to 12:00 - 6:00 direction - not 3:00 / 9:00 |
| d) | downward block / heel-palm sequence - which demonstrates the following: |
| i) | introduces 'X' pattern (bottom half) |
| ii) | introduces switching rear hand (defense) to front hand (offense) |
| iii) | combined together - reverses order of downward sequence in Short / Long One |
| iv) | transition from no realistic positioning to realistic positioning |
| e) | extended outward / half-knuckle sequence - which demonstrates the following: |
| i) | finishes 'X' pattern (top half) |
| ii) | combined together - reverses and flips order of the downward block sequence |
| iii) | flips (horizontally) the figure 8 demonstrated in the upward block sequence |
| iv) | maintained realistic positioning (positional check / block) |
| v) | cocking while maintaining Line of Sight |
| vi) | front hand (offense) to rear hand (defense) |
| f) | inward (hand-sword) / outward (punch) / upward (middle-knuckle) sequences combined - which demonstrate the following: |
| i) | completes '+' pattern (major angles) |
| g) | downward (heel-palm) / extended outward (half-knuckle) sequences combined - which demonstrate the following: |
| i) | completes 'X' pattern (minor angles) |
8)
The concept of a call out or highlighted maneuver. This sets the concept that specific maneuvers are emphasized within the form to draw attention to the information they present. The call out moves of this form are:
9)
The following new (major) concepts:
| a) | Degree of (open hand / rotation) |
| e) | Power Principle isolation |
| h) | Snapping / Raking Method of Execution |
| i) | 'X', star (or asterisk) pattern |
Short Form Two falls into the category of a dictionary form. As such, it maintains the following elements of the dictionary forms.
1)
Each dictionary form changes the foot pattern on the first downward block.
