1a)

Transition (Stance Shift + Wrist Lock)

Coordination

•

Improper pin / lock / foot maneuver timing

-

Correct timing:

·Left hand should be placed on right wrist prior to the stance shift

·(Optional) right wrist rotation should be timed to conclude simultaneously with the stance shift

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 - Weapon Formation

•

Improper hand formation

-

Proper hand formation:

·(Optional) right hand should conclude in an open, vertical orientation (12:00V-6:00V) (like a downward hand-sword)

·Otherwise, hand should open (palm down) to natural open positioning

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper spacial hand positioning

-

Right hand should remain at the same position in space (at the conclusion of the previous maneuver) and not be re-positioned by the shift in stance

1b)

Step-thru (Foot Maneuver) / Elbow (Downward)

Coordination

•

Improper elbow / foot maneuver timing

-

Correct timing:

·The left, downward elbow should be timed to conclude simultaneously with the settle into neutral bow

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper hand positioning

-

Left hand should remain on right wrist throughout execution of maneuver

•

Lean of stance (forward / sideways)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout maneuver

1c)

Elbow (Outward)

Coordination

•

Improper timing

-

(Optional) Left elbow should be timed to conclude simultaneously with push-pull of right arm and in-place stance weight shifting (Body English)

•

Improper maneuver conclusion

-

Elbow should remain as recognizable maneuver (and not be merged with following strike) - although this maneuver should flow smoothly into the following maneuver

Execution - Alignment

•

Lean of stance (forward / sideways)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout maneuver

2a-b)

Heel-palm / Claw

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper execution angles

-

Correct strike angles:

·Heel-palm should be executed parallel to the floor (3:00V-9:00V)

·Claw should be executed perpendicular to the floor (12:00V-6:00V)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper pivot point

-

Correct pivot points:

·Heel-palm should be executed with the elbow and shoulder as the major pivot points of the body

·Claw should be executed with the middle of forearm as the major pivot point of arm

Execution - Execution

•

Improper weapon execution height

-

Heel-palm should be executed to the same contact point in space (i.e same height and depth) as the elbow strike (do not extended arm using the elbow as the only pivot point)

2c)

Elbow (Inward, Overhead)

Coordination

•

Improper strike / foot maneuver timing

-

Elbow should be timed to conclude simultaneously with the settle into the left neutral bow (or optional kneel stance)

Execution - Alignment

•

Lean of stance (forward / sideways)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout maneuver

•

Improper weight distribution

-

Concluding weight distribution should be left (60%) / right (40%)

Execution - Path

•

Improper strike path

-

Elbow should make a circular (elliptical) path of travel, not a relatively linear one
