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.

1)

In response to the opponent’s push, fall backward (toward 6:00H) (toward 6:00V).  Immediately, deliver a left thrusting vertical side kick (toward 12:00H), toes pointing upward (toward 12:0V) to the opponent’s groin (minor).

Tip

Your right foot (stepping backward toward 6:00H) and both arms (slap out) should be used to control your fall, giving you a solid “base” from which to deliver the kick.

Result

The opponent’s lower body should be forced backward (toward 12:00H), bending forward at the waist (toward 6:00H), with both hands beginning to cover the groin area.

2)

Rotate (counter clockwise V) onto your left hip with a right slicing side kick (toward 12:00H) (toward 10:300V) to the opponent’s jaw (minor), while simultaneously rising (toward 12:00V) your right arm to a vertical blocking position (positioned cover) with the retraction (toward 6:00H) of your left foot to cover your groin area (positioned cover).

Tip

Your left arm and hand should be used to provide stability to your “base” by remaining on the ground, palm down (toward 6:00V).

Result

The opponent’s head should rotate (clockwise V) to your left (toward 9:00H), but they remain bent over at the waist.

3)

Continuing the rotation (counter clockwise V) from the previous move, allow your right foot, knee, and hand to plant (toward 6:00V) to your left (toward 9:00H), toes and palm downward (toward 6:00V).  Immediately, deliver a left thrusting, upward, diagonal back kick (toward 6:00H) (toward 1:30V) to the opponent’s sternum (major).

Tip

Use both your hands and right knee to provide stability to your “base” for your kick.
 

You should switch from looking over your right shoulder to looking over your left shoulder, before delivering the back kick.

Note

If the opponent is too far away to effectively deliver the back kick, you may need to rise (toward 1:30V) off your right knee (distance gauge), using only your hands to provide the stability to your “base” for the kick.

Result

The opponent’s body should be forced upward (toward 1:30V) and backward (toward 6:00H), collapsing to the ground, face up (toward 12:00V).

4)

Retract your left foot (toward 6:00H) and plant (toward 6:00V) into a left front cross over position.  Rise (toward 12:00V), cross out and cover (toward 6:00V), while simultaneously lifting (toward 12:00V) both your hands and arms from the floor to positioned covers.
