Kanku (65 movements) ____________________ + Move Stance Action __ _____ ________ __________________________ N -- Feet together Both hands are open in front of belt, palms downward, only the index fingers and thumbs of each hand touch one another so that they form a triangle shape. // Keeping the arms straight (elbows only *slightly* bent) raise your arms above your head so that the palms now face above and away from you. // Sharply separate your hands from one another, thrusting them out to the side. Then, slowly continue this downward arcing motion until both hands are open and palm-up in front of belt.

Your feet should be in a position that looks like an elongated right front stance. Keep your eyes straight ahead (i.e. toward N). This is a 'duck for cover'.

As your left foot completes the stomp, do: (chest-W) L low forearm block (to S) R high outside forearm block (ulna side) Maintaining the same stance, draw your left arm inward and in front of you slightly. Then do a downward punch with your right fist so that it crosses your left. Both fists should now be crossed, left over right, in front of belt. Straighten the knees, bringing the feet a bit closer together, as you do: Rising knifehand X-block (blocking in direction of W) Pivoting on the ball of your Rf, move the Lf toward N, turning CW to face S. S CW (270*) R front Clench both hands into fists and lower them SLOWLY to about mid-chest level.
