1) |
Start from a standing position with the the 1st opponent (facing 6:00) in front of you (12:00) delivering a right straight thrusting punch, and the 2nd opponent (facing 12:00) behind you (6:00) applying a rear bear hug - arms free. |
2) |
Deliver a right thrusting inward block (toward 10:30) to the inside of the 1st opponent's right forearm, simultaneously with a right thrusting straight kick (major) (toward 12:00) to the 1st opponent's groin, while raising the left open hand to the center of your body (positional check), solar plexus high and palm forward (toward 12:00). |
Result |
The 1st opponent's block should be diverted (toward 7:30) with the body is forced backward (toward 12:00) while the left hand attempts to cover the groin. |
3) |
Continuing from the previous moves, plant your right foot to your right (toward 3:00) foot into a transitory horse (facing 12:00) (stabilize base) while raising both of your open hands above your head (toward 10:30), palms forward (toward 12:00) in preparation for the next move. |
Note |
The 1st opponent should be recovering from your attack. |
4) |
Settle into your horse with the delivery of double hammering downward diagonal elbow strikes (minor) (toward 4:30) onto the back of both of the opponent's forearms (left striking left - right striking right), while simultaneously rotating both of your hands so the palms face toward you (toward 6:00) as your strikes make contact. |
Result |
The 2nd opponent's grip should substantially loosen around your waist. |
Note |
The 1st opponent should still be recovering from your attack. |
5) |
Drop of your right arm to a right chambered position (pinning check), palm up (toward 12:00) pinning the opponent's right arm to your right side with the drawing of your left foot toward your right (toward 3:00) into a left transitory 45 degree cat (facing 12:00H). Simultaneously, cock your left fist across your body to your right hip, palm toward you (toward 6:00) and on top of your right fist, in preparation for the next strike. |
Result |
As you obtain your cat, the 2nd opponent's weight should be shifted onto the right foot with the upper body bending to the right (toward 3:00) as you pull the opponent with you, to your right, while your right arm maintains the pin to the 2nd opponent's right arm, to your right hip. |
Note |
The 1st opponent should still be recovering from your attack. |
6) |
Without any loss of motion from the previous move, step your left foot backward (toward 7:30), on the outside of the opponent's right leg, into a left reverse wide kneel (stabilize base) (toward 7:30), while you use your left bent knee (sophisticated basic) to buckle the back of the opponent's right knee. |
Note |
The 1st opponent should still be recovering from your attack. |
7) |
Shift counter clockwise into a left neutral bow (toward 7:30) with the delivery of a left thrusting outward elbow strike (minor) (toward 10:30) to the opponent's chin, palm down (toward 6:00), while raising your right arm to your right shoulder (positional cock), palm forward (toward 10:30), in preparation for the next move. |
Result |
The 2nd opponent's head and upper body should begin to be thrust backward (toward 4:30), while the lower body is prevented from moving by your left leg. |
Note |
The 1st opponent should still be recovering from your attack. |
8) |
Without any loss of motion from your previous move, continue the counter clockwise rotation of your stance into a left forward bow (toward 7:30) with a right hammering downward hammer-fist (major) (toward 6:00V) to the 2nd opponent's groin. Simultaneously, hook the back of the 2nd opponent's left neck with your left hand, palm facing opponent (toward 7:30), as you draw your left arm to your left side, stopping with your settle into the left forward bow. |
Result |
The 2nd opponent should be forced to collapse to the ground (toward 1:30), face up. |
Note |
The 1st opponent should be recovered from your attack and initiating retaliation. |
9) |
Step your left foot forward (toward 12:00) (gauge distance) into a left reverse twist (facing 12:00H), followed immediately by a right thrusting back kick to any available opening on the 1st opponent. |
Result |
The 1st opponent should be forced backward (toward 12:00) and collapse to the ground, face up. |
Note |
The 2nd opponent should be recovering from your attack. |
10) |
From the previous move, deliver a right thrusting front ball kick (major) (toward 7:30) to the 2nd opponent's head. |
Result |
The 2nd opponent's head should be forced away (toward 7:30). |
11) |
Plant your right foot (toward 9:00) into a right front twist (facing 9:00H). Immediately, step your left foot (toward 1:30) into a right neutral bow (toward 4:30). |
12) |
Cross out and cover (toward 10:30). |
