Situation

You are in a left neutral bow (facing 12:00H) (ready position) with your left arm in a vertical blocking position and your left hand, palm forward (toward 12:00H), covering your mid-section) (positioned cover), while the opponent (toward 12:00H) (facing 6:00H) delivers a right, sraight thusting club poke (toward 6:00H) - right hand and right foot forward (toward 6:00H), to your lower torso area.

1a)

Step your right foot (clockwise H) (toward 7:00H) (up the circle) (zone of sanctuary) into a left modified neutral bow (facing 1:00H) (stable base), while simultaneously delivering a left hammering, downward hand-sword (toward 5:00V) to the outside, top of the opponent’s right forearm (minor) with the rise (toward 12:00V) of your right hand to your right ear, palm away from you (toward 1:30V), in preparation for the next move (positioned cock).

Result

The opponent's club should be diverted (toward 5:00H) (toward 4:30V) from it's intended course, while your body is simultaneously moved out of the way of the attack. Also, the strike to the right forearm may cause the opponent to begin to drop the club.

1b)

Immediately, shift forward (toward 1:00H) (counter-clockwise H) and settle (toward 6:00V) into a left forward bow (facing 1:00H) with a right, hammering, downward (toward 7:00V) hand-sword to the top of the opponent's right wrist area (major), palm forward (toward 1:00H), while simultaneously raising (toward 1:00V) your left hand, palm facing you (toward 9:00V), to your right ear area, in preparation for the next move (positioned cock).

Result

The opponent's right arm should be forced to stop its forward momentum and diverted downward (toward 6:00V), while the shock of the strike should cause the opponenet to drop the club (toward 6:00V).

2a)

Immediately, deliver a thrusting, right, rising (toward 10:30V) knee kick (toward 1:00H) to the opponent’s right thigh area (minor) with a thrusting, left outward hand-sword (toward 1:00H) to the opponent’s throat area (minor), while simultaneously maintaining the position of right hand, palm up (toward 12:00V) (waiter's carry), on top of your opponent's right forearm area (positioned check), in preparation for the next move (positioned cock).

Result

The opponent’s body should be thrust back (toward 1:00H), immobilized and prevented from bending by the simultaneous high and low strikes.

2b)

Without any loss of motion from the previous moves, step through forward (toward 1:00H) (positioned cover), to the outside of the opponent's right leg, into a right neutral bow (facing 1:00H) with a thrusting, right heel-palm to the opponent’s chin area (major), while simultaneously retracting (toward 7:00H) your left open hand to your right solar plexus (positioned cover), palm forward (toward 1:00H).

Result

The opponent’ upper body and head should be thrust back (toward 10:00H) and collapse to the ground, face up (toward 12:00V).

3)

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