The extended outward block / half-knuckle sequence is as follows:
| 1) | step forward into a right neutral bow with the execution of a right extended outward block while simultaneously retracting the left hand to the left pectoral region (formed into a half-knuckle) |
| 2) | rotate in-place forward into a right forward bow with the execution of a left snapping half-knuckle strike |
| 3) | reverse the motion of the previous step back to the original position |
| 4) | rotate ninety degrees to the left with the draw of the left foot toward the right into a left forty five degree cat stance while simultaneously executing a right hammering inward block along with the retraction of the left arm into chamber |
| 5) | step forward into a left neutral bow with the execution of a left extended outward block while simultaneously retracting the right hand to the right pectoral region (formed into a half-knuckle) |
| 6) | rotate in-place forward into a left forward bow with the execution of a right snapping half-knuckle strike |
| 7) | reverse the motion of the previous step back to the original position |
The obvious information derived from this sequence is:
•it advances from the transitory (cat) position
•it utilizes the neutral bow and the forward bow stance
•it shows both sides of the sequence (opposites)
Analyzing this sequence further exposes the following information:
•the sequence introduces the extended outward block
•the sequence introduces the half-knuckle strike
•the sequence completes the upper part of the 'x' pattern
•the forward bow is transitional
Extended Outward Block Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the Extended Outward Blocks is:
•the block is defensive
•the block emphasizes the power principle of back-up mass4
•both blocks use the thrusting Method of Execution
•this is the first demonstration of the extended outward block in the forms
Half-knuckle Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the half-knuckle is:
•the strike is offensive
•the strike introduces a new weapon formation
•the strike is a long range weapon
•the strike introduces a new Point of Contact on the hand
•the strike emphasizes the power principle of torque
•both strikes use the snapping Method of Execution
•both strikes uses the snapping Method of Execution to a horizontal plane
•this is the first demonstration of the half-knuckle strike in the forms
Transition Specific Information
The obvious information derived from the transition is:
•the maneuver is 180 degrees (right) and 90 degrees (left)
