1)

Kick / Forearm

Coordination

•

Improper arm / foot maneuver timing

-

Correct timing:

·Kick and forearm strike should be timed to make potential contact simultaneously

·Raise of left hand should be timed to conclude simultaneously with other maneuvers

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper execution direction

-

Entire technique should be executed on the diagonal line (1:30H-7:30H) and not the major line (12:00H-6:00H)

Execution - Economy of Motion

•

Improper cocking of weapon (foot)

-

Kick should be executed from point of origin (not cocked next to other leg)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper stance adjustment

-

Stance height should remain relatively constant (with only slight adjustment for Body English)

Execution - Execution

•

Improper angle of incidence

-

Forearm should be executed to make potential contact parallel to floor (not glancing upward, merged with next maneuver)

•

Improper method of execution

-

Kick should be executed as thrust (not snap)

2a)

Arm Lift

Coordination

•

Improper timing

-

Arm reposition should be timed to conclude simultaneously with raise in stance (float) (i.e., both reach maximum height simultaneously)

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper execution angle

-

Arm should be repositioned vertically (with hand and elbow remaining relatively in-line vertically throughout execution)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper maneuver height

-

Raise of arm should conclude with elbow between chin and eyebrow height

2b)

Elbow (Downward)

Coordination

•

Improper arm / foot maneuver timing

-

Elbow should be timed to conclude simultaneously with settle into neutral bow

Execution - Alignment

•

Lean of stance (forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground upon completion of maneuver

3)

Elbow (Upward)

Coordination

•

Improper timing

-

Elbow should be timed to conclude simultaneously with the shift to the side horse

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper stance

-

Strike should be executed with side horse (not neutral bow)

•

Lean of stance (sideways)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground upon completion of maneuver

4)

Heel-palm / Claw

Coordination

•

Improper arm / foot maneuver timing

-

Claw (heel-palm) should be timed to conclude simultaneously with settle into neutral bow

Execution - Alignment

•

Lean of stance (forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground upon completion of maneuver

•

Improper weapon execution height

-

Claw should conclude at relative chin height
