Shodan Two

1. Look left. Step out to your left into hidari kokutsu dachi (left back stance), while performing a hidari tettsui otoshi-uke (left hammer downward block). By dropping into the low back stance, one adds acceleration to the downward blocking technique.
2. Step into migi zenkutsu dachi (right forward stance), and perform a migi jun-zuki (right lunge punch). The unwinding of the body from the back stance into forward stance accelerates the lunge punch.
3. Retract the right leg and turn to the right 180 degrees ending up in migi zenkutsu dachi, and perform a migi gandan barai (right downward block). The downward block is accelerated by the forceful and fluid twisting of the hips from the previous stance.
4. Draw the right foot in a half step and turn the hips to the left such that you are now in shizen hontai (normal natural stance) about 45-90 degrees to the left of your zenkutsu dachi, and pull your right fist into kamae. Perform migi age-zuki (right rising punch) then execute migi tettsui otoshi-uke (right hammer downward block), twisting the upper part of the body to the right about 30-45 degrees in order to add more power to the tettsui. The feet however remain in shizen hontai and the knees bend into each other slightly to allow the upper portion of the body to turn with more power, while the feet remain stationary. The idea here is that you are blocking two consecutive punches from your opponent; one that is at the jodan level, and the second to the chudan level.
5. Step to the right into hidari zenkutsu dachi (left forward stance) while performing hidari jun-zuki (left lunge punch).
6. Turn 90 degrees to the left into hidari zenkutsu dachi and perform hidari gandan barai (left downward block).
7. Step into migi zenkutsu dachi and perform a migi age-uke (right upward block).
8. Step into hidari zenkutsu dachi and perform a hidari age-uke (left upward block).
9. Step into migi zenkutsu dachi and perform a migi age-uke.KIAI.
10. Turn 180 degrees to the left into hidari zenkutsu dachi and perform hidari gandan barai.
11. Step forward into migi zenkutsu dachi and perform migi jun-zuki.
12. Step forward into hidari zenkutsu dachi and perform hidari jun-zuki.
13. Step forward into migi zenkutsu dachi and perform migi jun-zuki.KIAI.
