The transition between the inward and outward blocks is as follows:
| 1) | draw the left foot toward the right into a right forty five degree cat stance while simultaneously retracting both arms to the right side in a 'cup and saucer' position. |
The obvious information derived from this maneuver is:
•the maneuver highlights one of the major themes of the form - the intersection position
•the maneuver shows the opposite side (cat) of Long Form One (with different arm positioning)
Analyzing this information further exposes the following information:
•the cat stance exposes the intersection position of the stances
•the maneuver, along with the following foot maneuver, demonstrates one of the major purposes of the intersection position - mainly changing direction
