Situation

You are in a normal stance (facing 12:00H) with both of your arms at your side (toward 6:00V), while the opponent (at 12:00H) (facing 6:00H) executes a right step through (toward 6:00H) with a right straight thrust punch (toward 6:00H) to your face area.

1)

Step forward (toward 11:00H) with your left foot into a left neutral bow (facing 12:00H) (stable base) with a left thrusting inward block (toward 1:30H) to outside of the opponent's right punching arm (meet the punch), while allowing your right arm to remain at your right side (obscure).

Note

Your left foot should end up on the outside of the opponent’s right foot (positioned cover), but not beyond the opponent’s right heel.

Tip

The remaining series of motions are explained as individual motions, but should be executed to give a feeling of continuous motion, with emphasis and individuality of motion being limited to the major strikes.  This can be better achieved if a two-handed horizontal figure 8 is approximated (rounding off corners).

2)

Push-drag forward (toward 12:00H), rotating (counter clockwise H) into a left forward bow (facing 12:00H) with a right thrusting inward horizontal (arm on the 9:00H – 3:00H line) forearm strike (toward 12:00H) to the opponent's right ribcage area (major), while raising (toward 12:00V) your left arm in front of your left shoulder, palm forward (toward 12:00H), in preparation for the next move (positioned cock).

Option

You may keep the left vertical blocking position against the opponent’s right arm until the first part of the next move, if you feel the situation warrants the extra protection (positioned check).

Result

The opponent's upper body should begin to bend forward (toward 6:00H) with both hands beginning to attempt to cover the right ribcage area.

3)

Immediately, raise (toward 12:00 V) and bend (at the elbow) your right arm to a right inverted vertical blocking position against the opponent’s right arm (positioned check), as you rotate (clockwise H) (toward 4:30H) and settle (toward 6:00V) into a right wide kneel (facing 4:30H) with a left hammering downward diagonal (toward 5:00V) left hammer-fist to the opponent’s right kidney area (major).

Note

If possible, your left knee should end up pressing against the opponent’s right outer leg (positioned check).

Result

The opponent's should begin to collapse (toward 6:00V), bending at the knees, with the right arm attempting to cover the right kidney area, but prevented from doing so by your right arm (positioned check).

4)

Shift (toward 4:30H) your left open hand to the opponent’s right arm, replacing your right checking arm, palm down (toward 4:30V) as you raise (toward 12:00V) your right arm in front of your right shoulder, palm forward (toward 4:30H), in preparation for the next move (positioned cock).  Without any loss of motion, rotate (counter clockwise H) and settle (toward 6:00V) into a left wide kneel (facing 12:00H) with a right hammering downward (toward 6:00V) hammer-fist to the opponent’s back of neck area (major).

Note

Your right knee should end up pressing against the opponent’s right outer leg (positioned check).

Result

The opponent should collapse (toward 6:00V) to the ground, face down (toward 6:00V).

5)

Step your left foot back (toward 7:30H) into a right neutral bow (facing 1:30H) as you shift (toward 7:30H) your left hand to your right solar plexus (positioned cover), palm forward (toward 1:30H), simultaneously with the retraction (toward 7:30H) of your right arm to a right vertical blocking position (positioned cover).  Cross out and cover (toward 7:30H).
