1)

Double Punch

Coordination

•

Improper strike / foot maneuver timing

-

Punches should be executed to conclude simultaneously with settle into neutral bow

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper strike angles

-

Correct strike angles:

·Strikes should be executed parallel to each other and the floor

·Strikes should be executed such that both are extended the to the same distance in front of the body

·Strikes should be directly in-line on a vertical plane

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper stance

-

Maneuver should conclude into neutral bow (not forward bow)

•

Improper hand / wrist alignment

-

Wrists should be kept straight such that the punches make contact with the front of the first two knuckles of each hand

•

Lean of stance (forward)

-

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

2a-b)

Forearms (Strikes / Clear) / Adjustment Step

Coordination

•

Improper forearm / foot maneuver timing

-

Correct timing:

·The left, downward forearm execution should be timed to conclude simultaneously with the settle of the foot maneuver

·The right, inward forearm execution starts as soon as a path of travel is created by the downward movement of the left arm

·The left, outward forearm is executed immediately after the right forearm execution is completed

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper step angle

-

Right foot should be repositioned onto diagonal line (1:30H-7:30H) (so the remaining stance shifts have proper alignments without further foot adjustments)

Execution - Alignment

•

Left, outward forearm maneuver executed with stance shift

-

The left, outward forearm should be executed as an isolated maneuver, without shifting into a forward bow

(The stance shift should not occur until the next maneuver)

2c)

Four-finger Poke

Coordination

•

Improper strike timing (executed as isolated maneuver)

-

The strike should be timed to be aided by the stance rotation and conclude simultaneously with the settle into the forward bow

Execution - Alignment

•

Lean of stance (sideways)

-

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

Execution - Weapon Formation

•

Improper hand formation

-

Fingers should be spread apart with thumb tucked to the side of the palm area (not extended as independent digit)

3)

Straight Punch

Coordination

•

Improper right punch / foot maneuver / left arm timing

-

Punch and retraction of left hand execution should be timed to conclude with the settle into the horse stance, resulting in all movement stopping simultaneously
