Note:

The maneuvers of this Isolation can be visualized with a potential opponent directly at your respective sides and facing in the same direction as you (facing 12:00H), executing a direct shoulder grab.

1a)

Circle (counter clockwise V) your right arm in a back (toward 6:00H) to front (toward 12:00H) 360-degree circular path perpendicular to your body, concluding with the arm at your right side (elbow at upper waist height), the hand pointing directly to the left (toward 9:00H), and on a diagonally upward angle (fist at low shoulder height), palm up (toward 10:30V).

1b)	Without any loss of motion, execute a right, snapping, vertical back-knuckle strike (toward 3:00H) to face height, concluding at the same relative position as where it started.

Note:

The path of the previous set of maneuvers is a vertical circle cut by a diagonal line.

Option:

The next maneuver should be done as a separate maneuver, but may also be executed with the next maneuver.

1c)	Reposition (toward 6:00V) the right arm to chambered position at your right side, palm up (toward 12:00V).

2a)

Circle (clockwise V) your left arm in a back (toward 6:00H) to front (toward 12:00H) 360-degree circular path perpendicular to your body, concluding with the arm at your left side (elbow at upper waist height), the hand pointing directly to the right (toward 3:00H), and on a diagonally upward angle (fist at low shoulder height), palm up (toward 1:30V).

2b)	Without any loss of motion, execute a left, snapping, vertical back-knuckle strike (toward 9:00H) to face height, concluding at the same relative position as where it started.

Note:

The path of the previous set of maneuvers is a vertical circle cut by a diagonal line.

Option:

The next maneuver should be done as a separate maneuver, but may also be executed with the next maneuver.

2c)	Reposition (toward 6:00V) the left arm to chambered position at your left side, palm up (toward 12:00V).

3a)	Circle (clockwise V) your right arm in a front (toward 12:00H) to back (toward 6:00H) 360-degree circular path perpendicular to your body, concluding in the same relative position as where it started.

3b)	Without any loss of motion, execute a right, snapping, outward back-knuckle (toward 3:00H) to rib height, concluding in a chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), at your right side.

Option:

The circular motion of your arm may be concluded with your elbow bent further from its original angle, placing the fist, palm up (toward 1:30V), on an upward, diagonal angle (toward 12:00H / 10:30V) and the elbow potentially slightly further forward (toward 12:00H) than its original starting point.

Note:

The previous maneuver is executed on a linear line of travel (not a circular one).

Note:

The path of the previous set of maneuvers is a vertical circle cut by a horizontal line.

4a)	Circle (counter clockwise V) your left arm in a front (toward 12:00H) to back (toward 6:00H) 360-degree circular path perpendicular to your body, concluding in the same relative position as where it started.

4b)	Without any loss of motion, execute a left, snapping, outward back-knuckle (toward 9:00H) to rib height, concluding in a chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), at your left side.

Option:

Note:

The previous maneuver is executed on a linear line of travel (not a circular one).

Note:

The path of the previous set of maneuvers is a vertical circle cut by a horizontal line.

Note:

The next series of maneuvers are #1 and #2 executed simultaneously and may use the notes of their singular version.

5a)

Circle (right counter clockwise V / left clockwise V) both your arms in a back (toward 6:00H) to front (toward 12:00H) 360-degree circular path perpendicular to your body, concluding with the arms at your sides (elbow at upper waist height), the hand pointing toward you (right toward 9:00H / left toward 3:00H), and on a diagonally upward angle (fist at low shoulder height), palm up (right toward 10:30V / left toward 1:30V).

5b)	Without any loss of motion, execute simultaneous right and left, snapping, vertical back-knuckle strike (right toward 3:00H / left toward 9:00) to face height, concluding at the same relative positions as where they started.

Option:

The next maneuver should be done as a separate maneuver, but may also be skipped and integrated into the following maneuver.

5c)	Reposition (toward 6:00V) the both arms to chambered positions, palm up (toward 12:00V), at their respective sides.

Note:

The next series of maneuvers are #3 and #4 executed simultaneously and may use the notes and options of their singular version.

6a)	Circle (right clockwise V / left counter clockwise V) both your arms in a front (toward 12:00H) to back (toward 6:00H) 360-degree circular path perpendicular to your body, concluding in the same relative position as where it started.

6b)	Without any loss of motion, execute simultaneous right and left, snapping, outward back-knuckles (right toward 3:00H / left toward 9:00H) to rib height, concluding in chambered positions, palms up (toward 12:00V), at their respective sides.
