Ideal Execution

Written Illustration:

Situation:

You are standing naturally with the opponent (to your front) executing a right punch followed by a left roundhouse punch.

1)

Step your left foot back (toward rear) into a right neutral bow (facing forward), executing a right inward block to the inside of the opponent's right punching arm, your left hand positioned as a check in front of your solar plexus.

2)

As the opponent delivers a left roundhouse punch, shuffle forward into a right forward bow, delivering a right extended outward block to the inside of his left punching arm. Simultaneously execute a left thrusting vertical punch to his face.

Result:

The opponent's head should snap back, his depth zone kept in check.

3)

Immediately pivot counter-clockwise into a right neutral bow, executing a right thrusting inward handsword to the left side of the opponent's neck, your left hand again positioned as a check in front of your solar plexus.

Result:

The opponent should be stunned.

4)

Without hesitation, execute a left front crossover and, in a left front twist stance, circle your right hand counter-clockwise and diagonally down, forcing the opponent's right arm against the right side of his body and hip, your right elbow checking his left arm. Simultaneously circle your left hand clockwise, executing a left inward horizontal heel-palm strike, fingertips pointing out, left elbow anchored, to the right side of his jaw.

Result:

The opponent should be dazed.

5)

Step your right foot out into a right neutral bow (toward left front, facing forward), buckling the inside of the opponent's right knee. With your left heel-palm still braced against his right jaw, circle your right arm counter-clockwise and execute a right inward horizontal elbow strike to the left side of his jaw, sandwiching his jaw.

Result:

The opponent may be rendered unconscious.

6)

Immediately pivot counter-clockwise in place into a right reverse bow, further buckling the inside of the opponent's right leg and exposing his groin. Execute a right back hammer-fist to his groin, your left hand checking over your right shoulder.

Result:

The opponent should bend forward at the waist.

7)

Right front crossover, and cover out (toward left rear).

8)

Survey the outcome of your action.

9)

Return by executing a left rear crossover followed by a right thrusting back heel kick to the opponent's stomach.

Result:

The opponent should fall to the ground.

10)

From the contact point of your right kick, execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice (toward rear).
