Short Form #3
This is the first time we see a form that is built purely of techniques. We begin to learn flow between techniques. The descriptions provided here are brief. Click on the highlighted technique name for a more detailed description of the actual technique. You will notice that we don't run each technique to completion in the form and some pieces are slightly altered in the form because forms always show us full range of motion.

Short 3 is known as the elbow form.

Footnotes For Short Form 3

1 The left outward block here matches (is the opposite of) the right outward we see in Twirling Wings later in this form.

2 Use point of origin here, do not cock your left hand back to your hip before the eye poke. This is different because the forms show us full range of motion and this is a rare time we DON'T do full range of motion.

3 Again, point of origin from the thumb poke (don't raise your arms higher) and this time we ARE using full range of motion.

4 Your right elbow is resting on your left fist. This right outward block matches the left outward block from Destructive Twins.

5 The second elbow of Twirling Wings is hidden within this move. As you move your right arm to pin attackers hand on your neck, you are actually doing the right inward elbow.

6 This motion is chambering your right hand to your hip for the next move.

7 Remember the anchoring motion of your left arm as you hook attackers chin and transition to the overhead elbow.

8 The back head butt is the opposite of the front head butt we see in Fatal Cross.

9 The double hooking hand pull-back is the opposite of the double hand forward we see in Crossed Twigs.

10 The forward head butt is the opposite of the back head butt we did in Scraping Hooves.

11 Make these middle knuckle strikes.

12 The right elbow anchor here is the opposite of the left elbow anchor we did in Crossing Talon.

13 The double hand forward is the opposite of the double hand pull-back we did in Fatal Cross.

14 Again, point of origin from the rising inward block.

15 The final motion of turning into our horse stance is the opposite of the final move in short 1 and done the same way.
