Note:

The next maneuver is not necessarily considered part of the technique (but is numbered as such), rather a transition (adjustment) step prior the actual technique.

1a)

Drop both hands downward (toward 6:00V) and backward (toward 6:00H) until parallel to and slightly behind (toward 6:00H) your body, palms backward (toward 6:00H) and fingers downward (toward 6:00V), as you simultaneously lift your right leg upward (toward 12:00V), bottom of foot parallel to the floor (toward 6:00V) – toes pointing forward (toward 12:00H), in preparation for the next move.

Option:

During the above maneuver, either both hands remain in the same relative position or the right hand may execute a thumb press to right hip height, palm backward (toward 6:00H).

1b)	Immediately, deliver a right heel stomp (toward 6:00V) directly downward, toes pointing to your right (toward 3:00H).

Option:

One does not have to demonstrate the rotation of the right foot to be perpendicular with the potential opponent's right foot. Instead, the toes of the right foot may continue to point forward (toward 12:00H) throughout the execution of the entire maneuver, including the stomp.

Note:

Even though the above maneuver shifts all weight from the left foot and then back to the right foot, the upper body should not lean to the left, right or forward during the execution of the maneuver.

2)	Taking advantage of the previous maneuver's momentum, execute a left, rear, obscure elbow strike (toward 12:00V), palm backward (toward 6:00H), to chin height, simultaneously with the execution of a left, rear, scoop kick (toward 12:00V) (toward 12:00H) to groin height.

Note:

The path of the previous maneuver is a vertical line (for the elbow) simultaneous with a vertical circle (for the foot).

Without any loss of momentum, execute a 360-degree body rotation (clockwise H) by planting your left foot to your right (toward 3:00H), and then planting your right foot to your right (toward 3:00H). Complete the body rotation into a horse (facing 12:00H) with the retraction of your right arm to a right chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), while simultaneously executing a left, thrusting, upward, diagonal (toward 1:30V), inner elbow strike (toward 12:00H) to rib height.

Option:

To visually demonstrate that the right hand represents a grab to the potential opponent's right wrist, the right hand may be retracted to chambered position, palm down (toward 6:00V) - either fully closed or partially closed (simulating a grabbing position).

Note:

The rotation of the body and the settle into the stance should be used to enhance the execution of the inner elbow strike.

Note:

The next maneuver is not considered part of this technique, rather a transition (adjustment) step prior the opposite side of the technique.

Reversing the path taken from the previous maneuver, retract your left arm to chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), while simultaneously executing a 360-degree body rotation (counter clockwise H) by planting your right foot to your left (toward 9:00H), and then planting your left foot to your left (toward 9:00H). Complete the body rotation into a horse (facing 12:00H) with both arms in chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V).

Note:

You should conclude this technique in the exact same location and position from which you started the technique.
