Long Form #1

This form show us blocking and countering while retreating. It takes Short Form 1 a step further. You'll notice that the first 1/3 of this form is really nothing more than Short 1 with counter strikes. The second 1/3 of this form (the triple blocks) shows us Short 1 left side with extra blocks. The foot movement and angles of that section of the form are identical to Short 1 left side.

In this form we're also introduced to:

• Horizontal Thrust punch
• Forward Bow
• Upper body isolations
• 90 degree and Uppercut punches
• 45 degree punches that foreshadow the new angles we'll see in Short 2
• Inside Downward blocks
• Pushdown Block
