Situation
|
You are in a (passive) normal stance (facing 12:00H) with both of your hands raised to shoulder height, palms forward (toward 12:00H) (positioned covers) with the opponent (at 12:00H) (facing 6:00H) executing a right thrusting uppercut punch (toward 6:00H) (toward 10:30V) to your lower abdomen area.
|
1)
|
Step back with your left foot (toward 6:00H) into a left neutral bow (toward 12:00H) (stable base) with a right horizontal downward forearm block (toward 7:30V), while simultaneously retracting your left arm (toward 6:00H) to your right solar plexus, palm forward (toward 12:00H) (positioned cover).
|
Result
|
The opponent’s uppercut should be blocked.
|
2)
|
Immediately, shift forward (clockwise H) into a right forward bow (toward 12:00H) with a left thrusting downward (toward 6:00V) heel-palm claw to the opponent’s nose (minor).
|
Note
|
The claw should be executed on a circular (clockwise V) path away from you with contact of the heel-palm being made on the far side of the arch and continuing downward until the tips of your fingers reach the bottom of the facial area.
|
Result
|
The opponent’s face should be thrust downward (toward 6:00V), with the left hand beginning to raise to cover the face, while the right hand is prevented from moving by your right blocking arm (positioned check).
|
3)
|
Without any lose of motion from the previous moves, shift back (counter clockwise H) into a right neutral bow (toward 12:00H) with a right vertical back-knuckle thrust (toward 1:30V) (toward 12:00H) to the opponent’s chin or nose area (major), while simultaneously retracting the left hand back to the right solar plexus, palm forward (toward 12:00H).
|
Note
|
The target on the opponent’s face can vary depending upon how much the opponent’s head rebounds from the previous moves.
|
Result
|
The opponent’s upper body should be thrust up (toward 1:30V) and back (toward 12:00H), with both hands covering the facial area, and collapse to the ground (toward 6:00V), face up (body on the 12:00H-6:00H line).
|
4)
|
Cross out and cover (toward 6:00H).
