STRIKING
SET 1
The
purpose of the set is to teach that if a punch is blocked, it can orbit
around in a variety of ways and still result in an effective strike against
your opponent. The set consists of a basic pattern of strikes done first
to the front, then to the sides, and then with both hands. It can be done
in either horse stance, or a bent knee attention stance (i.e., feet together).
Set
I:
(all
punches are to the chest area)
a.
Right punch, followed by an outward back knuckle. Repeat on the left.
b.
Right punch, followed by a downward outward hammer fist to the front. Repeat
on the left.
c.
Right punch, followed by a right inward overhead inverted back knuckle
strike. Repeat on the left.
d.
Right punch, followed by an inward horizontal hammer fist strike palm up
(grafting into chopping punches).
Repeat
on the left.
Set
II:
Repeat
Pattern 1, but with all punches to the side, and at shoulder level.
Set
III:
Repeat
Pattern 1, but with both fists striking simultaneously to the front.
Set
IV:
Repeat
Pattern 1, but with all punches to the side, and with both fists striking
simultaneously.
Close:
Bring
the left foot to the right foot, keeping your knees bent.
a.
Both fists striking simultaneously to the front.
b.
Both hands execute outward back back knuckles to the front.
c.
Both hands execute downward outward hammer fist strikes to the front.
d.
Both hands execute inward overhead looping inverted back knuckle strikes
to the front.
e.
Both hands execute inward horizontal hammer fist strikes, palm up (grafting
into chopping punches) to the front.
f.
Cross the hands, palms down, re-chamber at your hips executing double back
elbows, while also straightening your knees.
g.
Step back out into a horse, and then close.
For
a little bit of diversity, try this set with an open hand - replace the
punches with finger pokes, the hammer fists with chops, and the back knuckles
with ridge hand strikes. It's not a major change, but it introduces some
really subtle differences without changing the basic pattern.

a left neutral bow.
20.
Step with the right foot to 6:00, pivot to 3:00 into a right forward bow
as you do a left horizontal inward heel palm to the face, which rotates
into a claw to the face. The left hand then does an outward chop to the
left side of the face, and then continues into a claw.
21.
Do a left front crossover to 1:30, pivot to face 10:30 as you do a right
overhand claw to the face in front, with a left claw to the groin behind.
22.
Do a right front crossover to 1:30, pivot to face 1:30 as you do a left
overhand claw to the face in front, with a right claw to the groin behind.
23.
Pivot counter-clockwise to 7:30 into a right forward bow as you do a right
underhand claw to the groin in front with a left claw to the groin behind.
24.
Do a right rear crossover to 4:30, and pivot to face 4:30 in a right forward
bow as you do a left underhand claw to the groin in front with a right
claw to the groin behind.
25.
Come to attention facing 12:00 with your knees slightly bent as you bring
both hands into double heel palm claws to the groin then roll up your centerline
into double finger thrusts (right over left), that rolls into index fingers
to the eyes. As you hop into a horse, both hands, in claw form, then continue
upward and outward to claws to the
sides
(face height). As you return to attention, bring both hands down to the
sides, with the palm striking the thigh first and then the finger tips.
26.
Step with the right foot to 12:00 into a right 90 degree cat as you do
a right inward finger hook to the eyes. The right hand remains up, with
the elbow anchored.
27.
Switch the feet, and step with the left foot to 12:00 in a left 90 degree
cat as you do a left inward finger hook to the eyes.
28.
Come to attention, circle both hands out and up into strikes to the sides
of the eyes that roll into thumb pokes to the eyes.
29.
Still in attention but rising up as the hands climb, swing the hands outward
down and up the centerline into double pokes to the eyes.
30.
Drop into a meditating horse, and close.
The
remainder of this is the actual notes from the end of Mr. Parker's notes
on the Finger Set 2:
Teaches:
1.
How to change angles when:
a. Stepping through
b. Swicthing
c. Switching and Stepping Through
2.
The importance of coordinating the timing of your finger techniques with
your footwork to take advantage of body momentum.
3.
To use body momentum to aid strikes that are occurring in different directions
4.
How to formulate dimensional factors (height, width, or depth) by:
a. Adjusting depth with switches
b. Adjusting angles with step through maneuvers
c. Adjusting angles with a combination of a switch and a step through
d. Altering targets
e. Regulating force
f. Inserting hidden strikes
g. Seeking other dimensions when one is seemingly nullified
5.
How to produce pin-point accuracy with finger techniques while timing these
strikes with foot and body maneuvers.
6.
How to use open-handed techniques both as Minor and Major moves.
7.
To adhere to the concepts of Economy of Motion (learned in Finger Set #1)
while employing finger techniques, and to utilize additional counterparts
of Economy of Motion as well.
8.
Finger Set #1 teaches so many things to look for when employing the fingers,
while stationary. Finger Set #2 provides an opportunity to apply these
many things while moving.
Notes
on Finger Set 2:
1.
Practice this set without the strikes until you develop lightning foot
maneuvers. Then bring your hands back into the original set.
2.
Practice this set with your eyes closed, in the dark, and or blindfolded.
This will instill in you a valuable sense of feel.
3.
Remember that Environment is everything in you, on you, and around you
at the moment of a confrontation. To help raise the knowledge contained
in this set (or any form or set) to an instinctive level y
