Two Man Set

by Ed Parker Sr.

Commence by going through the salutation. After the salutation

then proceed with the set. (The first part of the form deals with the
footwork, and coordinated hand movements, and then shows how the two
forms piece together.

1. With feet together and backs straight, have both hands cock to
corresponding waist. Simultaneously look in toward each other.
Opponent #1 (on the right) looks to his left and opponent #2 (on the
left) looks to his right.

2. Opponent #2 then moves to his right with his right foot and
simultaneously strikes with the right back knuckle to the right temple
of opponent #1 -- drawing his left hand back and to the side of his
left hip.

3. Opponent #1 then steps back to his right (on a 45 degree angle)

with his left foot as his right arm blocks out and against the outside
of opponent #2's right elbow; he then pivots to his right and delivers
a left punch to the right ribs of opponent #2.

4. Opponent #2 then steps to his left with his left foot, pivots to
