1)

Stance Transition (Width Change) / Head Strike

Coordination

•

Improper arm / head / foot maneuver timing

-

Correct timing:

·Arm pinning maneuver should be started prior to the start of the foot reposition, but conclude simultaneously with the foot reposition

·Head strike should conclude simultaneously with the foot reposition

·Raise of stance and arch of back should conclude simultaneously with head strike

Execution - Execution Angle

•

Improper execution direction

-

Entire technique should be executed with attention to the diagonal line (10:30H-4:30H) (with center-line starting at 10:30H)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper stance alignment

-

Back should conclude in an arched backward position (not leaning backward) to help accentuate (and properly align to) head strike

Gaze

•

Improper angle

-

Attention should be directed (behind) over right shoulder

2a)

Stance Transition (Rotation) / Heel Kick

Coordination

•

Improper foot maneuver / kick timing

-

Rotation into rear bow should conclude prior to execution of kick, creating distinct maneuvers

Execution - Economy of Motion

•

Improper cocking of weapon (foot)

-

Kick should be delivered from point of origin on floor, following a direct, linear path (not cocked prior to execution)

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper body rotation

-

Entire body (and right foot) should be rotated to diagonal line (1:30H-7:30H), into rear bow stance (concluding with right heel and center-line facing 1:30H), prior to kick

•

Lean of stance (forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout execution of maneuvers (not arched)

•

Improper arm positioning

-

Arms should remain pinned to body throughout execution of maneuvers

Execution - Execution

•

Improper weapon execution height

-

Kick should be executed to knee height

2b)

Side Kick / Stomp

Coordination

•

Improper maneuver conclusion

-

Kick should be concluded prior to execution of scraping stomp, creating distinct maneuvers

Execution - Path

•

Improper execution angle

-

Stomp should be executed vertically (12:00V-6:00V) (not on a diagonal path)

Execution - Economy of Motion

•

Improper cocking of weapon (foot)

-

Stomp should start at the exact point in space where kick concludes (kick should not be retracted from perceived contact point)

Execution - Execution

•

Improper weapon execution height

-

Kick should be executed to knee height

Execution - Alignment

•

Improper body rotation

-

Entire body should be rotated back to facing original diagonal line (10:30H-4:30H) with execution of kick

•

Improper weight distribution

-

Right stomp should conclude with 95%+ of weight on right foot

•

Lean of stance (sideways / forward)

-

Back should be kept relatively perpendicular to the ground throughout execution of maneuvers
