Imagine a straight line pointing directly ahead. You travel along this line as you go forward and back. The ready stance is feet together, hands in a “sun and moon” clasp at chest level, left enclosing right.

(1) Stretch left arm up, right down at your side and rise slightly as you bring your left foot back to a front stance. Hands are open. Slowly bring left hand down and right up until right is mid-chest and left is low.

(2) Turn to left diagonal and repeat (1) on other side.

(3) Drop left arm horizontally and look right.
Right ridge hand to the side into a back stance. (Note: for this moment you are facing 90 degrees from your straight line.)

(4) Right leg comes in with left down block. Step forward right, right palm to ribs in a back stance. Repeat 2X.

(5) 1/4 turn left, right foot crosses over left as you do a high X block with left in front. Step out left and do double down block.

(6) Skip left, bringing up so that upper arms are horizontal, forearms vertical, and fists are straight up. (call this arms-up for short.) Kiup!

Note: Be sure to stretch arms back so they are in line with your body–not bending slightly forward.

(7) Turn 1/4 right, bringing right arm up to high block, left to chamber. Left inside crescent kick, turning 1/4 right, landing in horse stance. Left punch to the side at shoulder level, bring arms down and circle to arms-up. Repeat to the left, then once more to the right.

(8) Arms-up, Right foot comes in to shoulder width. Turn 1/4 to right with right knife hand.

(9) Double hand push in front. Right forearm straight up in front, left hand under as you bring left foot behind knee. Shift hands so that left palm faces right palm at your side. Step forward left, switching right above left, palms forward, hands about 3 inches apart.

Circle right arm in front to repeat above on left side.

(10) Chamber both hands open to right. Turn 3/4 to left into grab-pull (the move at the end of Jujitsu form 1).

(11) Look over right shoulder, step out right, do grab-pull.

(12) 1/4 turn left, right arm circles into outside block, left to chamber, left foot in cat stance. Step forward left with high block left. Step forward right with right punch.

(13) Back foot comes in as you do 1/2 turn to the left. Hands return to initial sun and moon position. Finally bring fists down in front.
