Re: March 2006 - Form Of The Month - Short Form 1
being the first form we learn, all the movements are defensive and retreating. we never cross ourselves nor step into a blind spot (Zone of Obscurity). as learned in Blocking Set, it keeps steady with double factoring each block with a rear elbow strike. teaches newer students proper timing of all four limbs as well as keeping the head level when transitioning into stances.
that should get the snowball rolling.
See, all I've gotta do is get loose like I'm fluid, dude, Rollin' up my sleeves on my gi and get into it. You and who, him and them? Line up in a single file. One on one, all for one...end up in a bigger pile. The ambiance of Martial Arts is constant, Nunchucks chuckin' when I step in the mosh pit. Wing Chun dummy getting splintered apart, Escrima sticks whippin' and I'm chipping the bark. What are you? A pink belt? I'll give you a head start. Kumite killin', with the spirit of Ed Parker.
