Ah, you have the sequence correct, but you miss the essence. Before Meithari comes Chuvadu—the foundational footwork. In my kalari, we spent two monsoons just mastering that before touching a single wooden tool. My own guru would say, "Build the house from the earth up, not from the roof down." Without Chuvadu, the four stages are just empty dance.
