Situation

You are in a normal stance (facing 12:00H) with both of your arms at your side (toward 6:00V) with the opponent (at 12:00H) (facing 6:00H) applying a direct two-hand push (toward 6:00H) to your chest area, followed immediately by a right step through forward (toward 6:00H) with a right, thrusting punch to your face area (toward 6:00H).

1a)

The opponentís push makes contact with your chest area forcing you to take a step backward (toward 6:00H), with either foot first, but ending back into a normal stance.

Result

You begin to raise your hands (toward 12:00V) to vertical blocking positions (positional cover), in front of your chest area, palms forward (toward 12:00H), in an effort to both protect your body and passively respond to the opponentís aggression.

1b)

Timed with the opponentís punch (borrowed force), step forward (toward 11:00H) with your left foot into a left forward bow (facing 12:00H), while delivering a right, thrusting, upward block to the underside of the opponent's right elbow (toward 12:00V), while simultaneously delivering a left straight heel-palm (toward 12:00H), palm forward (toward 12:00H) and fingers to the right (toward 3:00H), to the opponentís solar plexus (minor).

Result

The opponentís forward momentum (toward 6:00H) and rotation (counter clockwise H) into a right neutral bow (facing 6:00H) should be halted with the right arm being prevented from retracting by your right arm (detaining check), but the left arm begins to cover the sternum area.  The above reaction should keep your opponent facing relatively forward (toward 6:00H) with the right foot extended slightly forward (toward 6:00H).

2)

Immediately, shift (clockwise H) into a left neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with the delivery a left, upward (toward 10:30V), diagonal (toward 10:30H) heel-palm, claw, palm forward (toward 12:00H) and fingers to your right (toward 4:30V), to your opponentís face (minor), while maintaining your other defenses (detaining check).

Note

The upward, diagonal clawís travel should continue until your left forearm makes contact with the opponentís right arm, closer to the opponent (toward 12:00H), than your right arm.  The net effect being that your left arm is now effectively replacing your right arm under the opponentís right arm.

Result

The opponentís head should be thrust upward (toward 10:30V) and backward (toward 10:30H) with the right arm still prevented from retracting by both your arms (detaining check).

3)

Immediately, shift (counter clockwise H) forward into a right forward bow (facing 12:00H) with the circle (counter clockwise H) of your right arm, in an outward (toward 3:00H), then inward (toward 9:00H) and downward (toward 7:30V) arc, delivering a right, hammering, inward hammer-fist, palm up (toward 12:00V), to the opponentís left floating rib area (minor), while maintaining your other defenses (detaining check).

Result

The opponentís upper body should begin to bend slightly forward (toward 5:00H), while the right arm is still prevented from retracting by your left arm (detaining check).

4)

Shift (clockwise H) back into a left neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with the retraction (toward 12:00V) of your right arm back to its previous position under the opponentís right elbow, effectively delivering a right upward parry (toward 12:00V), while simultaneously circling (clockwise H) your left arm, in an outward (toward 9:00H), then inward (toward 3:00H) and downward (toward 4:30V) arc, delivering a left, hammering, inward hammer-fist, palm up (toward 12:00V), to the opponentís right floating rib area (minor).

Result

The opponentís body should remain relatively unmoved by the hammer-fist with the right arm still being prevented from retracting by your right arm (detaining check).

5a)

Step forward with your right foot (toward 11:00H) into a right neutral bow (toward 11:00H) (facing 12:00H) allowing your right knee to contact and buckle (toward 11:00H) the opponentís right knee with the circle (clockwise V) of your left hand, palm down (toward 6:00V), forcing the opponentís right arm to extend downward (toward 5:00V) at their right side (sliding/pressing check), while simultaneously circling (counter clockwise H) your right arm, in an outward (toward 3:00H), then inward arc (toward 9:00H), delivering a right, hammering, inward (toward 9:00H), downward (toward 7:30V), diagonal hammer-fist, palm up (toward 10:30V) to the opponentís left cheek bone (major).

Optional

The hammer-fist can be delivered to the opponentís bridge-of-nose, depending upon the position of the opponentís head.

Result

The opponentís stance should be slightly destabilized with the body rotating (clockwise H) slightly to face you further in reaction to your right buckle, while their head is forced downward and to their right by your hammer-fist and their right arm is prevented from moving by your left hand (pressing check).

5b)

Without any loss of motion, deliver a right outward (toward 3:00H) two-finger slice, palm down (toward 6:00V), to the opponentís right eye (minor), followed immediately by a right inward (toward 9:00H) two-finger slice, palm up (toward 12:00V), to the opponentís left eye (minor), and immediately by a right outward (toward 3:00H) two-finger slice, palm down (toward 6:00V), to the opponentís right eye (minor).

Result

The opponentís head should be forced to rotate in conjunction with each slice, but the body remains relatively unmoved, while the right arm remains pinned at their right side (pressing check) by your right hand.

6)

Pivot (clockwise H) into a right twist (facing 12:00H) with a left inward (toward 3:00H), downward (toward 4:30V), diagonal hammer-fist, palm up (toward 1:30V) to the opponentís right cheek bone (minor), while simultaneously lowering (toward 6:00V) your right hand, palm down (toward 6:00V), to replace your left hand pressing the opponentís right arm to their body (pressing check).

Optional

The hammer-fist can be delivered to the opponentís bridge-of-nose, depending upon the position of the opponentís head.

Result

The opponentís head should be forced downward and to their left with the body remaining relatively unmoved, while the right arm remains pinned at their right side (pressing check) by your right hand.

7)

Rotate (clockwise H) into a right neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with a left, outward, two-finger slice, palm down (toward 6:00V), to the opponentís left eye (minor).  Without any loss of motion, right front cross-over (toward 7:30H), sweeping the opponentís right leg with your step (ankle height), with a left, inward two-finger slice, palm up (toward 12:00V), to the opponentís right eye (minor).  Immediately upon settling (toward 6:00V) into your stance, execute a left, outward, two-finger slice, palm down (toward 6:00V), to the opponentís left eye (minor).  During the execution of the above maneuvers, your right hand should continue to press the opponentís right arm to their right side (pressing check).

Result

The opponentís stance should be widened and further destabilized by your sweep with the opponentís head forced to rotate in conjunction with the slices, while their right arm remains pinned at their right side (pressing check) by your right hand.

8)

Lower your left hand (toward 6:00V) to grab, palm down (toward 4:30V) and finger away from you (toward 12:00H), the opponentís right wrist, in preparation for the next move.  Immediately, step backward (toward 7:30H) into a right neutral bow (facing 1:30H) with a right, thrusting, outward (toward 3:00H) heel-palm, palm facing away from you (toward 1:30H) and fingers to your right (toward 3:00V), to the opponentís chin (major), while simultaneously pulling (opposing forces) the opponentís right arm toward you (toward 7:30H), across your lower abdomen area.

Result

The opponentís upper body and head should be forced toward you (toward 7:30H) by the pull of your left hand, but immediately stopped and slightly reversed (toward 1:30H) by the force of your right heel-palm, with the net effect of extending the opponentís right arm and preventing the opponent from effectively retaliating (contact manipulation).

9)

Rotate (counter clockwise V) into a right reverse bow (toward 1:30H) with the rotation (counter clockwise V) of your right hand, using your heel-of-palm and the opponentís chin as the pivot point (windshield wiper), delivering a right inward circular rake (toward 9:00H) to the opponentís eyes (minor).  Without any loss of motion, extend your right hand, using your wrist as the pivot point, into a right shape-of-crane, palm downward (toward 4:30V) and fingers away from you (toward 1:30H) to the back of the opponentís neck.  Immediately, pull the opponentís head downward (toward 6:00V) with the delivery of a right upward (toward 12:00V) hook kick to the opponentís face (major).

Result

The opponent head and upper body should be force to bend forward (toward 6:00V) by your downward pull, but immediately halted by the upward force of your right kick (opposing forces), effectively sandwiching the opponentís head between your right hand and right foot, while the opponentís right arm is prevented from retracting by the grab to their right wrist.

10)

Replant (toward 6:00V) your right foot (stabilize base) to its original position (point of origin), while retracting (toward 7:30H) your right hand to your right side (positional cover), palm facing you (toward 1:30H).  Immediately, execute a right front cross over (toward 7:30H) with a right, rising (toward 1:30V), stiff-arm back-knuckle (toward 1:30H), palm down (toward 7:30V), to the opponentís face (major), while simultaneously raising (toward 1:30V) your left hand to your right shoulder area (positional cover), palm forward (toward 1:30H).

Result

The opponentís head and upper body should be forced upward (toward 1:30V) and back (toward 1:30H), exposing their body area.

11)

Rotate (clockwise H) to deliver a left, spinning, back kick to the opponentís abdomen area (toward 12:00H), while maintaining your other defenses (positional cover).

Result

The opponentís body should be forced backward (toward 12:00H), collapsing to the ground, face up (toward 12:00V).

12)

Without replanting your left foot from the back kick, cross-out and cover (toward 7:30H).
