So lets take it a step further and look
at the opening of the Hidden Stick form
as an exercise in reverse stepping.
It also fits my disabilities
To just concentrate on a piece of a form.
1. For on thing, using short sticks for the Hidden Stick
Means you don’t have to have a stick
hidden in your sleve
Having the stick in your right hand is
hidden enough.
2. The
initial movement of the form
You step back with your right foot into a left foot
forward cat stance,
while moving your
left hand vertical palm,
forward and the
hand with the stick moves upward
forming a parrying roof technique.
Then the left foot moves forward in into a
left foot forward cat stance.
As you have moved towards your attacker,
Use that foreword movement to strike up.
Separate your hands.
The left vertical palm strikes into the
chest of the attacker.
The right hand rises into a stick butt
strike
Into the attackers jaw, to break it.
3. In
the form the next movement is a right front kick
Followed by placing that foot down in a right front
stance.
The left open hand slides down the arm during the
kick
and then strikes as it slides out into the attacker
during the kick.
Now you step your right foot alongside
your left.
Then your left foot steps back into a
right foot forward front stance.
There is no kick.
As your step concludes you strike downward
with the butt of the stick.
Then your left hand slides down and
strikes out with a horizontal palm strike.
4. The
form continues with you in the right front stance.
You strike out to the head/neck on the left
And then strike downward into the knee on the right.
Remaining in your right front stance.
Your right hand delivers an outer strike
to their neck with the butt of the stick.
And they you strike down into the knee on
the right
Using a right descending butt strike.
I believe this a fair restatement
of the Hidden Stick opening
for the butt strike.
