1: Not actually a horizontal punch; hand is held out as though a punch had just been thrown.

2: The twist hit, scooping block, and backfist should be strung together in one smooth, circular motion. The transition from bow stance to reverse bow and back to bow stance should match the timing of the strikes.

3: Pivot right foot outward in preparation for front sweep.

4: Maintain blocks while performing kick.

5: Not actually a vertical punch; hand is held out as though a punch had just been thrown. Maintain upward block throughout short form 10.

6: Transitory cat.

3: The sweep missed, so step forward and pull the attacker into the knee trap.
