When I first learned this form I thought it was very boring. I think I was introduced to it with that kind of attitude and I adopted it. It wasn't until later that I could appreciate the value of the form.
The questions I have are 1) at the end of destructive twins I noticed on Mr. Billings site he listed to...
5. With that left hand, grab them and pull them into a right reverse punch as you shift into a horsestance facing 10:30.
6. Execute a right push-down block as you pull back slightly; execute a right reverse punch again to the attacker's solar plexus.
7. Execute a right backfist to your attacker's face.
Here are my questions...is the grab after the spear hand to the eyes "new", I didn't learn that grab back in 80's, it seems like a logical move. Also, when you reverse punch at step 6 doesn't the opponent grab your hand? and does the "right push-down block" come out/or after a mini figure 8 that gets your hand free from that grab?
Finally, what are the main points to be taken out of this form?
Thanks, jb:asian:
p.s. This isn't picking on Mr. B's site, but he has nice enough to list the info so I'm using it for reference and as a learning tool. I am very grateful for this tool, as are many others I'm sure.
