2.        Over The Top - Look to the right 45 degree angle and step out with the left foot to the left about shoulder width foot in distance. Bend the right knee so that your hips face to the left for the most part and you are kneeling with the right knee on the ground. The angles here are very important. Make sure that your right knee is at a 90 degree angle. Your left knee should also be at a perfect 90 degree angle. Your legs, when viewed from the front, should shape a perfect box. From their opening posture, move the hands quickly so that the right hand blocks to the right 45 degree angle. The left hand should be palm up in a fist and should slide to a spot just under the navel. The block and the kneeling motion should be carefully timed so that they happen together.

3.        Stand back up quickly and assume the natural posture with the feet and legs. The hands should draw back to the left waist again in a cup and saucer position with the left arm fully drawn back and the right arm across the stomach. The right vertical fist should sit on top of the left fist. Perform this motion strongly and quickly.

4.        Down Block - Look to the right 90 degree angle this time and block with the right hand in a downward block as you step outward. Step into an in-line front stance with the right leg becoming the front leg of the stance. Do not move the left arm as you step outward into the front stance. Instead, only move the right arm as needed directly from the hip.

5.        Hook Punch - Now hook punch with the left arm. Shift your weight back in between your feet and change stances so that you are in a horse riding stance facing to the front again. Do not rise up as you make this change. Punch with the left hand so that the focus action and the shift are coordinated.

6.        Down Block - Now step forward with the left foot, leaving the right foot where it is, into a front stance. As you step, fold the arms for a downward block. As the step connects, focus the block and finish turning the hips to the side.

7.        Scoop Punch - To punch, turn the hips as you would for any reverse punch. As you punch forward, turn the fist over sooner than you would for your normal reverse punch. Normally, the fist turns over at the very end of the punch from palm up to palm down - in the last inch of motion. During this punch, turn the fist over fully at the 1/3 mark. Also, be sure that you punch at the middle level almost to full extension, and then begin raising the fist upward with a straight elbow. Think of how you could punch so that the back of your hand would smack under someone's chin.

8.        Tiger Mouth - Open the fist with the thumb pointing outward. Bend the wrist and point the fingers downward, then begin rotating the hand around until the fingers point straight up and the palm is up. Now, start rotating the wrist in the other direction so that the palm faces forward and slowly come to a stop. The elbow should stay straight throughout, and the next technique follows on it very quickly.

9.        Raise Knee - Step forward by raising the knee as if striking to the middle level with it as you push the hips forward with your supporting foot. The knee raising action is a snapping one, so don't try to hold the posture for any length of time. Just execute the knee strike and keep going.

10.     Punch Down - Lunge forward off of the momentum of the raising of the knee, and then step down with the right foot. Immediately follow with the left foot, and bring it up to the right in a crossed-feet posture with the legs bent. Be careful not to bend forward as you do this. Bend the knees as much as you can, crossing the feet at the ankles. Fold the arms as if you are about to do a down block (you are), and keep the hips straight forward. When folding, like any other folding action before a down block, keep in mind the punching action of the hand reaching forward and the blocking action of the hand going over the shoulder. You should punch with the left fist and block with the right. Thrust this action, don't snap it.

11.     Backward Down Block - Step to the rear with the left foot so that the left foot becomes the front leg of a very long and deep front stance. The right leg should straighten strongly as your weight moves to the rear. Keep facing forward, though. Don't turn. Down block with the right hand and draw the left hand strongly. The right hand should be over the right knee - the rear leg. The stance ends up a strange sort of back stance that is really a front stance going the other way.

12.      Down Block - Turn 180 degrees (your head) and pull the front foot back a little to shallow up the stance to normal depth. Down block with the left arm strongly - folding the arms in a snapping motion and then blocking so that the focus of the block and the settling of the left foot are simultaneous.

Main Sequence: The entire sequence of techniques including the down block, scoop punch, opening hand, knee lift, punch down, reverse direction down block, and the following turn down block is the main sequence of the kata. From this point forward, the entire set will be referred to as the Main Sequence.

13.     Repeat - repeat the entire main sequence from the scooping punch to the turning down block.

14.     Build an Arc - From the down block position, lift both the front leg of the front stance and the left hand. Arc both up high and over to the left so that the foot lands in a position making it the left leg of a horse riding stance (back and to the side). The hand should be in a knife hand block posture, and it should be palm inwards to the face with the elbow at a 90 degree angle. Make the hand motion by first opening the hand and then drawing a quarter circle with the fingertips until it reaches its final position.

15.     Elbow Smash - Once you have fully decelerated the last technique, quickly turn the hips to the left and look forward over the right shoulder. During the turn, the nose remains pointing at the same spot. Lower the left palm and raise the right arm as if making an outside block inward. Smash the side of the elbow, high on the forearm, into the palm of the left hand. Raise the right foot and quickly tuck it behind the left knee. Kiai on this motion.

16.     Vertical Knife Hand Block - Step back down into a horse riding stance with the right foot. Folding the left arm under the right, perform a slow and strong vertical knife hand block to the middle level. Make sure that the elbow is straight and not bent. Bend the arm only at the wrist.

17.     Two Punches - In the same position, throw two punches. The first punch should snap, the second punch should thrust. The first punch is fast, the second punch is strong. Right side punch then left.

18.     Down Block - Turn to the left 90 degrees and, leaving the right foot where it is, move the left foot so that it becomes the front foot in a front stance. Open the width of the stance. As you step, fold the arms for a downward block. As the step connects, focus the block and finish turning the hips to the side. Even though the hips are to the side, be sure that the front knee does not lean inward and that the face is pointed exactly forward. Don't let your head turn with your shoulders.

19.     Scoop Punch - To punch, turn the hips as you would for any reverse punch. As you punch forward, turn the fist over sooner than you would for your normal reverse punch. Normally, the fist turns over at the very end of the punch from palm up to palm down - in the last inch of motion. During this punch, turn the fist over fully at the 1/3 mark. Also, be sure that you punch at the middle level almost to full extension, and then begin raising the fist upward with a straight elbow.

20.     Knife hand block - Step forward with the right foot so that it becomes the front foot of a new back stance. Knife hand block with the right hand.

21.     Knife Hand Block - Switch feet and knife hand block with the left hand. Retract the front foot by pulling it back with a lift rather than by pushing with the front foot to step backward. Bring the right foot back to the left and immediately step forward with the left so that it becomes the front foot of a new back stance.

22.     Straight Punch - Reverse punch across your body by twisting the waist - not the hips - as much as possible in your back stance. Punch with the right arm as soon as the knife hand block connects.

23.     Knife hand block - Step forward with the right foot so that it becomes the front foot of a new back stance. Knife hand block with the right hand.

24.     Main Sequence - Turn 90 degrees and perform the down block that begins the Main sequence. Continue through the scoop punch, opening of the hand, knee lift, downward punch, extra deep reverse side down block, and the 180 degree turn down block.

25.     Palm Heel Blocks - Turn the hips fully front facing, but look to the right 45 degree angle. Slowly bring the right palm heel block upward until the elbow is at 90 degrees and the shoulder is at 45 degrees. The block should finish just below shoulder height.

Now move the right foot toward the left and reset the hands so that the right is low and the left is high. Do this explosively, and then step to the right 90 degree angle with the right foot so that it becomes the front foot of a new front stance. Block with strong deceleration with both palm heels. The right should go up again, and the left should go down until the left elbow is straight.

Step forward with the left foot and repeat the mirror of the above action. Remember to step and begin the hand motions explosively, but then decelerate strongly as you complete the motions.

Step forward a third time and repeat the above again.

26.     Shift forward in a back stance with the right foot forward. Down block with the right arm, but draw the left arm only to in front of the lower abdomen. Now shift another six inches forward as you shift your body weight into an unmovable stance with the right leg still forward. Bring the left hand up as if for an upper block, but with the hand open and palm upward. Extend the left thumb away from the hand. The right hand should be palm upward and in the lower block position.

27.     Throw - Anytime you jump in a kata, think of that as what your opponent should do - not yourself. You pick him up and throw him. To symbolize this, turn 180 degrees in place and leap off of the left leg as if you are doing a basketball lay up. Continue turning another 180 degrees so that you jump behind your previous position by exactly one stance length. Your front foot should land where your rear foot was before. As you are jumping, draw your feet under your buttocks and your knees into your chest to get them as far away from the floor as possible. Fold your arms for the knife hand block as you leap. As you land, throw the block. It should focus in time with the landing. Both feet should land at the same time. There should be no shuffling of the feet. They should plant on the first drop and be still.

28.     Knife hand block - Step backward one step and throw another knife hand block.

29.    Finish - Step back with the front foot into the fist in hand position that you began in.
