1.
Facing North with feet slightly apart, start with the Bo in left hand,
approximately one-third of the way up the Bo.
2.
Bring feet together and bow. The Bo is at the left side while the right
hand remains open at the right side.
3.
Keeping feet together, bring the Bo out toward N. Draw Bo back to left
side while also pulling right fist into the chamber.
4.
Moving forward toward N with the right foot into a low cat stance, immediately
followed by another step toward N in a left cat stance (left foot forward
on ball of foot. Stance should be slightly lower than a "Basic Form" cat
stance).
5.
Extend the Bo forward toward N from left side with power and tension. Maintain
left cat stance. Bo is perpendicular to the floor.
6.
Bring right fist out of chamber slowly with tension next to Bo at approximately
mid-section height.
7.
Slowly open right hand and turn with palm facing up. Maintain same left
cat stance, right hand remains at mid-section level.
8.
Draw back into a ready position with feet together. Bring left leg back
to right leg, Bo is simultaneously drawn to left starting position; right
fist goes to chamber.
9.
Move Bo forward toward N in left hand with tension. Right hand moves to
Bo above left hand. Extend index finger of right hand upward as Bo is grabbed.
10.
Look to the right 90 and move left foot out into a horse stance. At the
same time slide the right hand to the top third of the Bo. Execute a downward
block with the Bo parallel to the floor toward E. Immediately execute a
downward block toward NE (45 forward). Follow with a third downward block
toward SE (45 behind). These three blocks are executed in rapid succession
while remaining in a horse stance.
11.
Look left (toward W), draw the left leg to the right into a back stance.
This is similar to a cat stance with weight on the ball of the left foot).
Step out toward W executing an overhead (Sa Kwon) strike to opponent's
head or shoulder level. Keep end of Bo up and lock left elbow next to left
leg. Index finger of right hand should be extended along the Bo - pointing
forward. Strike is completed in a left front stance. (Kihap)
12.
Draw the Bo along the left side with the left hand moving back and the
right hand sliding to the top third of the Bo. Execute a low sweeping strike
to opponent's knees toward NW (45 forward). This strike is executed in
a back stance (70:30 on ball of the left foot). *From this point this stance
will be merely referred to as a cat stance.
13.
Follow with an upward strike to the groin by pushing the right hand down
on the end of the Bo and pulling upward on the top third of the Bo.
14.
Maintain back stance, draw the Bo with the right hand back while sliding
the left hand to the top third of the Bo with a reversed grip (left hand
turns over the top of the Bo with fingers closing downward). With the Bo
along the left side of the body for leverage, sweep the Bo across from
right to left, striking to the midsection of the opponent at NW. When the
strike is completed, the left hand is at the end of the Bo and the left
elbow is locked. The technique is completed in a left front stance.
15.
Drawing the Bo back with the left hand, grab the top of the Bo with the
right hand. Move the left leg in, forming left back stance (70:30) and
execute an overhead strike to opponent's head or shoulder area. Step out
slightly with the left foot during the strike. (The left arm is forward
one third of the way up the Bo, while the right hand is at the opposite
end of the Bo along the right side-back and just below the right hip. Both
arms are locked).
16.
Look over the left shoulder to S. Step into a left back cat stance facing
S and execute an overhead (Sa Kwon) strike completing the technique in
a left front stance. (Kihap)
17.
Look over the right shoulder to N. Cross the left leg in front of the right
leg moving toward N. At the same time, bring the Bo straight up and down
in front of the body (hands and Bo are toward W). Switch hands by crossing
hands over at approximately chest level so that the Bo has two-thirds of
its length overhead, yet perpendicular to the floor.
18.
Complete the cross over step to N in a horse stance (body faces W, right
foot forward in horse stance). Simultaneously execute a low sweeping motion
toward N, followed immediately by a high sweeping motion again toward N.
This strike is executed with the left hand at the right hip and the right
hand forward on the Bo. The right elbow is bent on the inside of the Bo.
(Establish this position as the hands complete the grip "crossover" and
while the horse stance is being formed. The elbow and outer forearm are
used for leverage and power during the low strike - to the knees, high
strike - to the head. The strike is a 180 arch-low/high).
19.
Look to S, pulling the Bo at chest level to generate motion,jump and spin
toward S completing a 360 turn counter-clockwise. Execute an overhead strike
in a left front stance.
20.
Look and move toward SW in a right cat stance executing a low outside block.
(This is a short block against an attack to the legs). Follow immediately
with a circular downward block. (This technique counters the attack by
turning the attacker's weapon away from the legs. The technique is a short
pushing movement at knee level in a counter-clockwise motion).
21.
Move forward toward SW and execute a mid-section thrusting strike in a
right front stance (right arm forward).
22.
Look and move toward E crossing the right leg in front of the left. Execute
and upward strike to opponent's chin. (Push up with the left hand while
pulling down on the end of the Bo at shoulder level). Strike is completed
in a crossed stance, legs slightly bent.
23.
Slide the left hand forward to the end of the Bo, move to NE and execute
a low downward block. Follow immediately with an upward circular strike
to opponent's head. This sequence is completed in a left front stance;
left hand at the side just below hip and right hand forward two-thirds
of the way up the Bo.
25.
Move the right foot forward forming a cat stance. Toward NE execute a low
short circular pushing block against and attack to the leg. This block
is executed in a counter-clockwise motion, starting approximately a half
foot from the floor and completed about one and a half to two feet - pushing
an attacking Bo down and away.
26.
Follow immediately with a right front stance thrusting strike to an opponent's
mid-section toward NE, (This is the same as in movement #20-21).
27.
Draw Bo back over right shoulder while looking left to W forming a left
cat stance. Step out into a left front stance to W executing an overhead
(Sa Kwon) strike with left hand at the end of the Bo just below left hip.
The right hand is out in front of body, two-thirds of the way up the Bo.
28.
Draw the Bo back along the left side of body. Slide the right hand to the
top of the Bo. While looking W swing the Bo with full power in a clockwise
motion 350 . (The Bo travels behind the back and is controlled solely by
the right hand. As the swinging technique is executed move into a left
back stance). The left hand executes a knife-hand block and stops the circular
path of the Bo. The knife-hand block should be slightly behind the body
so that the Bo does not strike the body at the completion of the swinging
technique.
29.
Grab the top of the Bo with the left hand. Turn 90 toward N in a left cat
stance. (The Bo will be resting on the left shoulder; release the right
hand from the Bo). Bo is parallel to the floor.
30.
Bring the right fist forward toward N along side of the Bo slowly. Open
the right hand with fingers together pointing forward.
31.
Slowly draw back into a ready stance moving the left leg back to the right.
The Bo moves from the left shoulder to the left side with the left hand
at the bottom third of the Bo. The Bo is perpendicular to the floor as
at the beginning of the form. The right hand comes to the side of the right
leg; feet together facing N.
32.
Bow.
