Situation:

You are in a natural stance (facing front) with both of your arms at your side (toward down) while the opponent (to your front) facing you (toward rear) applies a direct right hand grab to your left lapel.

1)

Step back with your left foot (toward rear) into a right neutral bow (facing forward) (stabilize your base) with a right thrusting inward vertical forearm strike (minor) to the inside of the opponent's right forearm (toward right rear flank), while simultaneously raising (toward up) your left open hand to your right solar plexus area, palm pointing forward (toward front) as a positional cover.

Result:

The opponent's grab should be broken.

2)

Shift your weight backward (toward rear) into a modified right transitory 45° cat stance facing forward (toward front), followed immediately with a right snapping front kick (toward front) (point of origin) to the opponent's groin area (minor), while continuing to maintain your other defenses (positioned cover).

Clarification:

The cat stance of the previous maneuver (2) is called modified because the depth of the stance never changes to the ideal depth of a cat stance.

Clarification:

The cat stance of the previous maneuver (2) is called transitory because it is not held for any real length of time and is only a transition into the following maneuver (3).

Result:

The opponent's lower body should be thrust backward (toward front) with their upper body bending forward (toward lower rear) (counter-clockwise vertically), while their hands attempt to cover their groin area.

3)

Replant (toward down) your right foot into a right neutral bow (facing forward) with a right outward downward-diagonal hammering hand-sword (toward front) to the right back of opponent's neck (major), palm pointing diagonally downward (toward lower left flank).

Result:

The opponent should collapse to the ground (on a front to rear line), face down (toward down).

4)

Retract your right arm (as needed) to a covering position while continuing to maintain your other defenses (positioned cover).
