This form exercises the 4:30-10:30 line. The major focus is grabs, the major weapon is elbows, and the major power principle is marriage of gravity. Throughout the Technique Forms, we always do the strong side first.

(Double Factor Principle). As the outward block completes, drop into a right forward bow as you do a left horizontal finger poke to his eyes and your right hand cocks back to the hip.
