Timing is the coordination of multiple movements such that they are synchronized as intended. This definition is demonstrated throughout the form in a number of ways:
•by timing foot maneuvers with blocks, strikes, and re-positioning
•by timing settle in stance with blocks and strikes
•by timing rotation in stance with blocks and strikes
•by timing minor movements within major movements without adversely effecting the major movement
•by timing weapon formation with weapon delivery
•by timing the overall execution speed of the form
Each of these timings are intended to coordinate the lower with the upper body in such a way as to create harmonious and fluid maneuvers which complete their travel in-sync with one another. With experience and practice, one can easily discern correctly timed maneuvers from incorrectly timed maneuvers.
