The Formal Salutation has a poem that accompanies it; and there are several variations, but our theme is this. The person we are as Christians come together, being of the same mind in Gods word and His understanding. We have no weapons, we choose not to fight, to hide our knowledge of Kenpo, and pray that we never need to use it. The triangle symbolizes "Body", "Mind", and "Spirit" - the 3 things we train, by studying Gods word, asking for His divine wisdom, trusting Him every day of our life, as a living offering, of love, reverence and dedication to Christ for His sacrifice on the cross,  knowing  that one day by His awesome creative power, and within a millisecond, we will be changed, made perfect and complete, without sin and rewarded with inheritance to His kingdom for eternity. The "salutation" form represents the art of Kenpo, to respectfully greet all,  benefits of physical health, self protection, a humbled spirit, and above all, be a witness to the world.  Testifying that Jesus saves and  we as born again believers desire to live by His example, choosing first to share His good news. The hands in the "praying" position represent our constant need to pray for Gods grace, protection, knowledge and for the salvation of others, with a thankful heart for what we have, whether it be joy or tribulation, God is  still in control, therefore we need always to exercise faith and complete trust in God knowing all things work for the honor and glory of God. Amen John 3:15  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:15 that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Ro 8:17  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. James 1:2  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; James1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. James 1:4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

NOTES and SUGGESTIONS

1. Practice the form with your eyes closed to gain a better feel for your stances.

2. Perfect the first two inward block punch sequences for they contain the basic coordination levels of the form.

3. Be sure to keep the heel of your back foot on the ground when pivoting into a forward bow. It adds to the push in support of your bracing angle, and stabilizes your stance.

4. Economize on the time expended by not raising your back heel when executing a step through reverse.

5. What practical application can you affix to the left outward elbow that you use just prior to converting it to your first left upward block.

6. When analyzing Long Form I, please note that the second part of the form- is actually the left side of Short Form 1. [The only change is you are at 6:00 and execute three blocks instead of just one.]

7. Be sure to have your near blocking arm cover your entire body when employing your series of three blocks.

8. What reason(s) would you attach to the blocks and punches that stem out of your horse stance at the end of Long Form I? Is this similar to the outward elbow discussed in number 5 of the notes?

9. The value of the transition from a neutral bow into a forward bow can be paralleled to having your foot placed on the wall, then using the foot to help you lunge forward with your punch. As stated above, it adds to the push in support of your bracing angle.

10. The cat stance that is seen in the beginning sequence of inward blocks is the desired motion used during all step through reverse actions. This helps solidify what number four talks about.

11. Practice your punches and gain power through the use of contouring both in forward and reverse motion.

 
Theme:  Advancing with front hand block; front and rear hand counters, utilizing body momentum, rotation, and gravitational marrage.

Salutation

Food For Thought

There are four ways to perform a takedown: Base to the front, Base to the rear, Top to the rear, and Top to the front. (Actually, if you add "from the front" and "from the rear" to each of the four, there are eight ways). How are these ways used in the techniques in this Form?

The first part of the form is from the start through Hopping Crane. The second part of the form is from Sleeper through the end. The takedowns in the first part have a significant difference from the takedowns in the second part. What is the difference?

What is the purpose of the hand movements in Hopping Crane? Also, how many different takedowns are included in Hopping Crane?

What is the relationship between the striking pattern in Leaping Crane and Circling The Horizon?

 Food For Thought

Entwined Lance is a version of which Purple Belt technique?

What is the relationship between Capturing The Rod and Twisted Rod?

What is the relationship between the footwork in Defying The Rod and Twisted Rod?

The four Rod techniques are based on the in-out-up-down sequence from the Basic Forms (i.e., Short 1 through Long 2).

Which Rod technique uses the in portion? The Out portion? The Up portion? The Down portion?

What is the purpose of the Hand Isolation moves at the end of the form? What techniques do they come from?
