Although I train in an offshoot of EPAK where we don't do the AK curriculum we are close enough to the AK system to hear a few comments. The one that stuck out in my head was that Long 4 was the workhorse of Kenpo. I seem to recall that Long 5 deals with takedowns and Long 6 with weapons. So to take a stab at it I would think that Long 4 deals with all the empty hand aspects of the art.
Now as I said I'm not familiar with these forms so I'm sure someone else can add more insight and possibly correct me.
Oh I shamelessy stole this from kenponet.com,
Short 1 - Retreating with a Front Hand Block
Long 1 - Retreating with a Front Hand Block and a Rear Hand Counter
Short 2 - Advancing with front hand block and front and rear hand counters, using multiple power principles
Long 2 - Multiple attacks from a stance, crossovers, and elbow strikes
The Basic Forms of Kenpo
Short 3 - Basic Defenses against grabs, chokes, and holds
Long 3 - Further defenses against grabs, chokes, and holds
Long 4 - Defenses against punches and kicks
Circular Hand Motions in Long 4
Long 5 - Takedown techniques
Long 6 - Weapons defenses against knives, clubs, and pistols
Long 7 - Techniques with Kenpo sticks
Two-Man Set - The Rules And Principles Of Kenpo In Combat

Motion to the Gaseous State of Motion.
NOTES ON LONG FORM #4
1. The use of corresponding angles will greatly enhance the aesthetics and effectiveness of your movements.
2. Learn to use cat stances and forward bows as "holding points" in the form. These "poses" allow you moments to harness the force, and gather your mental energy.
3. The use of rhythmatic breathing throughout this form will allow for those moments where you wish to use explosive breathing.
4. Study moments in the form where you can lock out movements.
5. Look for other moments where you can kiai in the form.
6. Be in shape. Improve your muscle response, especially your endurance.
7. Accentuate the strength in your stances and the depth of your foot maneuvers.

Ya know, after seeing such in depth discussions of forms (see the kenponet reference above and GoldenDragon's list), it reminds me just how *little* I really know about this stuff.
And my instructor wonders why I kept telling him I didn't feel like I was ready for my Black yet.....:rofl:
Ever see "Joe vs. the volcano"?? "I know he can *get* the job, but can he *do* the job?" Hehe. Yeah. Something like that.
Back to practice, back to study, back to analyzing. Never ends, does it? But, that is a good thing. A *very* good thing.
Peace--

Yeah, let's see......out of that list of 46 items (not a complete list? 
hehe...of *course* not!!) I know/knew.....uh....probably about....uh....like......5? I knew some of the concepts, but obviously, I knew a *LOT* less than I thought I did.
However, I LOVE it when the lightbulb appears over my head, and I have that rushing feeling of "OHHHHH!!!" I had that a couple of times, reading through that list.
Now, I just have to work on some of those items, and actually put them into practice. Eeesh. Okay, I will argue with anyone on that topic about "nothing more to learn when you get your Black Belt".
hehe.....I'd just show them that list and watch their eyes bug out....:rofl:
Oh, yeah....and I'd have to restrain myself from smacking them if they said, "Oh, that....yeah, I know all that." :shrug:
Sure, buddy. So *show* me, already....hehe.....

So, GoldenDragon......quick question: Can I petition you to get a *complete* list of what is in Long 4?
I have had a love/hate relationship with long 4 since I learned it. I love how it works, and how it flows, love what it teaches, but I have NEVER felt like I can do it right, and that bugs me. I have now set a goal that I will someday OWN long 4, but it is going to be a long road. Looking at the whole, I think the reason I don't like it as much is that I don't understand it fully......if I can gain more insights, then I think I will really get to like this form.
Would you be willing to help me out on this one? If the list is too long to post here, well......you have my email...
My thanks, sir. You have given me *plenty* to think about in my new "quest" already....

Yes, GoldenDragon, I understand fully, and respect it as well.
Still, thanks for pointing out the door. Now, I just have to open it up myself (for the time being)........
If I can get out that way sometime, I will look you up. Likelihood is, at the present, kinda slim, but fate's been known to be a surprise from time to time.
Thanks again!!

I had heard that Mr. Parker once said something like "Any one that knows ALL about Long Form 4, everything about what is IN it, would deserve a black belt", and he would promote them any day. I am sure it involves more than just the moves. But i curious as to what he meant.
Any Suggestions????
