INDIVIDUAL EXERCISES
Each of these exercises should be performed powerfully and with ma.rimum
speed at the moment of impact. Unless performed as if you were
actually attacking an enemy, they will lack spirit. When striking with the
fist, your arm should make contact with the surface of your target at a right
angle to it.
The explanations that follow are of right-handed forms. Do right- and
left-handed forms of each exercise at least five times each. Whenever appropriate,
return to the natural stance before starting the next exercise or
series.
