Situation

You are in a normal stance (facing 12:00H) with both of your arms at your side (toward 6:00V), while the opponent (at 12:00H) (facing 6:00H) executes a left step through (toward 6:00H) with a left straight thrust punch (toward 6:00H) to your face area.

1)

Step forward (toward 1:00H) with your right foot into a transitory right forward bow (toward 12:00H) (stable base while simultaneously delivering a right inward parrying block (toward 7:30H) to the outside of the opponent’s left elbow (close the centerline).  Immediately replace your right blocking arm with a left vertical outward parrying block (counter clockwise V) (toward 7:30H), palm open (margin for error) and toward you (toward 4:30H), to the outside of the opponent’s left elbow, while continuing the rotation of your right arm (counter clockwise V) (until 9:00V), in preparation for the next move (positioned cock).  Without any loss of motion from the previous moves, execute a right outward thrusting back-knuckle (major) (toward 12:00H) (cut the circle) to the opponent’s left inner rib area, while simultaneously settling into a right neutral bow (toward

Note

Your right foot should end up on the outside of the opponent’s left foot (positioned cover), but not beyond the opponent’s left heel.

Result

The opponent’s upper body should begin to bend forward and toward you (toward 4:30H), while the left arm attempts to cover the left rib area.

2a)

Circle (counter clockwise V) your right open hand downward (ending toward 6:00V), palm down (toward 6:00V) and fingers to your left (toward 7:30H), on top of the opponent’s left upper arm, pinning it to the opponent’s body (pinning/pressing check), while maintaining your other defenses.

Note

The downward press to the opponent’s arm should create a “line of sight” for your left hand, by clearing the opponent’s left arm, and potentially aid in compelling your opponent’s upper body to bend slightly forward (toward 4:30H) – accentuating the next move (borrowed force).

Optional

At any point, you may want to grab any available clothing with your right hand, to aid in the downward press, and control of your opponent.

2b)

Using the forward bend of the opponent (borrowed force), shift (clockwise H) into a forward bow (toward 12:00H) with a thrusting, straight, thrusting heel-palm, fingers to your left (toward 9:00V) to the opponent’s left side jaw (minor), while continuing the downward press with your right hand (burdening check).

Result

The opponent’s head should be thrust backward (toward 12:00H), but their body should be prevented from moving by your right hand.

3a)

Rotate your left hand (counter clockwise V), palm up (toward 12:00V), allowing your four fingers to “hook” the right side of the opponent’s jaw.  Immediately step to your right (toward 4:30H) with your left foot into a right forward bow (toward 10:30H) with the pull (toward 4:30H) of the opponent’s head toward you, while simultaneously pushing (toward 1:30H) the opponent’s left shoulder away from you.  Without any loss of motion, lower (anchor) (toward 6:00V) your left elbow onto the opponent’s left back and shoulder area, using the opponent’s body as a fulcrum to create a neck lock.

Note

At this point the opponent’s head should be facing toward 6:00H, while the neck lock is applied primarily with your left arm by using it as a vertical fulcrum – pushing with your left elbow and pulling with your left hand.

3b)

While maintaining the neck lock to your opponent, deliver a right, hammering, downward hand-sword (toward 6:00V), palm to your left (toward 5:00H), to the opponent’s left clavicle (minor), while simultaneously shifting (counter clockwise H) and settling into a right neutral bow (toward 10:30H).

Note

The hand-sword is delivered using a counter-clockwise (V) rotation of your right arm, using the shoulder as the primary pivot point, from in back of the opponent, over and down to the front of the opponent.

 
Depending upon the backward (toward 4:30H) bend of the opponent and if this strike is executed as a major, be aware that the opponent my fall backward (toward 4:30H), face up (toward 12:00V).

Tip

In order to get better penetration for the hand-sword, bend your right wrist downward (toward 4:30V), allowing your wrist to bend around the opponent’s shoulder and clavicle area, creating more surface area contact for the strike.

Result

The opponent’s left arm should become unusable while their body is prevented from moving by the neck lock.

4a)

Release the “hook” to the opponent’s jaw as you slide and rotate (clockwise V) your left arm and hand down (toward 6:00V) horizontally across the opponent’s upper back (pressing, cross body check), palm down (toward 6:00V).

Note

This move should allow the opponent’s head to rotate (clockwise H), exposing their face for the next move.

4b)

Immediately, rotate (counter clockwise V) your right hand, palm down (toward 5:00V), on top of the opponent’s face, and without any loss of motion, execute a right upward, diagonal (toward 2:00V) claw to the opponent’s face (minor) simultaneously with a right scoop kick (toward 1:30V) to the opponent’s groin (minor).  Complete the above moves by planting your right foot backward (toward 4:30H) into a left neutral bow (toward 10:30H) and simultaneously cocking your right arm to a right chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), while also maintaining the pressing, cross body check with your left arm.

Result

The opponent’s upper body should forced backward (toward 4:30H), but prevented from moving by the press of your left arm.

Note

Your left arm should be used to control the orientation of your opponent’s body, preparing it for the next move.

5)

Shift (counter clockwise H) into a left forward bow (toward 10:30H) with a snapping, right, straight punch to the opponent’s left kidney area (minor), while maintaining your left, pressing, cross body check.
Result: The opponent’s body should remain relatively unmoved, but begin to collapse to the floor (toward 6:00V).

6)

Immediately, shift back (clockwise H) into a left neutral bow (toward 10:30H) with the retraction of your right hand to your left solar plexus (positioned check), palm forward (toward 10:30H), while also maintaining the left, pressing, cross body check.  Cross out and cover (toward 4:30).

Result

The opponent should continue to collapse to the floor (toward 6:00V).
