2. Perfect the first two inward block punch sequences for they contain the basiccoordination levels of the form. 3. Be sure to keep the heel of your back foot on the ground when pivoting into aforward bow. It adds to the push in support of your bracing angle, and stabilizesyour stance. 4. Economize on the time expended by not raising your back heel whenexecuting a step through reverse. 5. What practical application can you affix to the left outward elbow that you use just prior to converting it to your first left upward block. 6. When analyzing Long Form I, please note that the second part of the form- isactually the left side of Short Form 1. [The only change is you are at 6:00 andexecute three blocks instead of just one.] 7. Be sure to have your near blocking arm cover your entire body whenemploying your series of three blocks. 8. What reason(s) would you attach to the blocks and punches that stem out of your horse stance at the end of Long Form I? Is this similar to the outward elbowdiscussed in number 5 of the notes? 9. The value of the transition from a neutral bow into a forward bow can beparalleled to having your foot placed on the wall, then using the foot to help youlunge forward with your punch. As stated above, it adds to the push in support of your bracing angle. 10. The cat stance that is seen in the beginning sequence of inward blocks is thedesired motion used during all step through reverse actions. This helps solidify

what number four talks about.

11. Practice your punches and gain power through the use of contouring both inforward and reverse motion
