For the first time we will have the attacker start from outside of kicking range. His job is to step in with a long, slightly arching type punch that goes to your center of your chest. At this point in the training, he shouldnt adjust to your responses so that you can learn proper form. The idea here is one question, one answer. He has to deliver the same punch over and over until you have thoroughly learned a correct response. This particular punch cant be thrown in too wide an arc, that is something we wil deal with more and more in future sessions.
Defender moves in, making sure to lead with arm movements in a wedge that meets his arm before he gets past your perimeter reach. In THIS case, we want our right forearm to make contact with the outside of his right forearm. Assuming he is too strong to stop, we feel our arm, that is still trying to go forwards, be pushed back into a tan sow position. As our forwards movement and his jamming pressure continue, we are loading our torso to rotate slightly, and deliver a left straight punch from the outside gate of our opponent.
Check the finished postion of the tan sow. It should be on the same angles that are used in the form. If this snapshot of movement was to continue, the tan sow forearm should start to point at the opponent in a straight line, in other words, its angle has been changed back to that of a straight punch
