Couple things can be said about this one.
For one, this isn't a takedown. It is actually a heavy strike, but we turn it into a takedown for practice.
Second, it shows the same technique can be initiated from either the inside line or outside line, left or right.
Third, this is a mixture of Plum Blossom and Six Harmony. The initial move is taken from the beginning of the Avalanche Steps, while the flow, the connection to the takedown is taken from the Hidden Blossom from Six Harmony.
Showing how the beginning part of the form, Peach-Thieving (the first line is shown here), is used.
Form is for practice only; never use a form as is in a fight. What you want is to digest the form to make it your own and to using the techniques freely according to situations.
Here in sparring, even when we are trying to follow the form, a couple techniques are missing in between, because the opponent is giving different reactions.
