-The triple block in Movement 1 still uses [[Reciprocal action]]; it just does so implicitly. Rather than making the full motion, tense the right side of your body as each block completes. That well-timed tension will function as reciprocal action to work; pulling your hands back is just a mnemonic to help the [[Beginners|beginners]] learn to tense as a technique completes to generate snap. By this point, you should be able to do this without any additional motions.

 The spearhand guard from Movement 16 is just a regular [[Fighting stance|fighting stance]] guard, but instead of clenched fists, your hands form four-fingered spearhands, with the thumbs facing up.

 '''Kishu Tatsu Geki''' (“Sneak Attack;” literally: “The Direction-Suppressing Drama”) earns its name because it uses deceptive footwork to trick your opponents into thinking that counterattacks will come from other directions, setting up surprise attacks.
-Kishu Tastu Geki has no lulls or pauses; it is to be performed as one continuous movement. This is a long and technically complex form that requires great endurance. As such, this form is reserved for [[Advanced students|advanced students]], and it is often the last thing a student must learn before testing for their [[Black belt|black belt]].

They try to off balance you with a right [[Leg sweep|leg sweep]], and a right lapel grab, but you [[Evasions|evade]] and break free of their grasp (Movement 25). The opponent immediately follows up with left and right [[Pursuit punch|pursuit punches]] to your [[Kyūsho#Abdomen|abdomen]], which you evade and block (Movements 26-27). The opponent follows-up with a left [[Haymaker|haymaker]], which you blocks and immediately counter with a kick to the [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]] (Movement 28). This will stun the opponent and cause them to lean forward, enabling you to reach your right hand behind their head to pull and turn it into a left [[Elbow_strikes#Forward_elbow_strike|forward elbow strike]] to their [[Kyūsho#Temples|temple]] or the [[Kyūsho#Side_of_the_jaw|side of their jaw]] (Movement 29). Reach out to keep the opponent from collapsing on top of you (Movement 30).

-The opponent at #5 has recovered somewhat, and lunges at you with a front choke or double lapel grab, but you quickly break free (Movement 34). The opponent immediately follows-up with a straight [[Punches|punch]], but you deflect this and counter with a two-fingered [[Spearhand strike|spearhand strike]] to the [[Kyūsho#Windpipe|throat]] (Movement 35). Undaunted, the opponent continues, and attacks with a [[Pursuit punch|pursuit punch]], but you [[Evasion|evade]] their strike and use the opportunity to place them in a standing [[Arm bar|arm bar]]. The only way for the opponent to escape the pain is to rise up on their tip-toes, compromising their balance. This adds a dramatic flair to your follow-up counterattack; when you [[Side kick|side kick]] the off-balanced opponent in the [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]] or [[Kyūsho#Abdomen|abdomen]], it will knock them back, and have a chilling effect on the other opponents (Movement 36). In a last-ditch effort, the opponent swings at you with a left [[Haymaker|haymaker]], which you deflect. You immediately grab their hand as you close in, and you mercifully knock them out with an [[Uraken uchi|uraken uchi]] to the [[Kyūsho#Temples|temple]] or the [[Kyūsho#Side_of_the_jaw|side of their jaw]] (Movement 37).
