Written Illustration:

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) applies a direct right hand grab (toward 6:00H) to your left lapel area.

1)

Step forward (toward 10:30H) with your right foot into a right reverse neutral bow (toward 10:30H) (stable base) with the raise of your left hand (toward 12:00V) to pin, palm toward you (toward 6:00H), the opponent’s right hand to your body, in preparation for the next move, as you simultaneously deliver a right thrusting forearm strike (toward 12:00H) to opponent’s right clavicle (major). Immediately, rotate (counter clockwise H) into a left forward bow (toward 6:00H) while pressing down (towards 6:00V) with your forearm against your opponent.

Note

This step should be done without pause in between stances.

Result

The opponent's upper body should begin to bend backwards (toward 12:00H) with the initial forearm strike, and then be forced to turn (counter clockwise H) and drop (toward 6:00V) to the ground face up (toward 12:00V).

Note

The opponent’s right arm should still be in your control and fully extended upward (towards 12:00V).

2)

Circle your right arm (counter clockwise V) from underneath of the opponent’s left arm, ending with your right arm vertically positioned (toward 12:00V) (positioned cock) in front of your right shoulder, palm forward (toward 12:00H), in preparation for the next move.  Immediately, deliver a right hammering inside-downward diagonal forearm strike (toward 7:30V) to the top of the opponent’s left upper forearm (minor) (frictional pull), while simultaneously releasing the pin to the opponent’s left hand and shifting (toward 6:00V) your left open hand to your right solar plexus (positioned cover), palm forward (toward 12:00H).

Result

The opponent's upper body should be pulled forward (toward 7:30H) and rotate (clockwise H) to your left (toward 7:30V) with the left arm pulled past the left side of your body (toward 7:30H) by the force of the strike.

3)

Immediately, reverse the motion of your right arm to deliver a right thrusting outward and upward diagonal hand-sword strike (toward 1:30V) (toward 1:30H) to the opponent’s left side of neck  (major), while maintaining your other defenses (positioned cover).

Note

This strike is delivered so that right elbow ends up higher than your striking hand, when completed (elbow not anchored).

Result

The opponent's head and upper body should be thrust back (toward 1:30H) and collapse to the ground (toward 1:30H), face up (toward 12:00V).

4)

Retract your right arm (toward 4:30V) to a vertical blocking position (positioned cover), while maintaining your other defenses (positioned cover).

5)

Cross out and cover (toward 7:30H).
