Situation |
Start from a standing position (facing 12:00H) with both of your arms at your side (toward 6:00V) with the opponent (at 12:00H) (facing 6:00H) executing a two-hand push to your upper chest area, right foot forward (toward 6:00H). |
1) |
Step back (toward 6:00H) with your right foot into a left transitory neutral bow (stable base) with the raise (toward 12:00V) of both your hands, palms toward you (toward 6:00H), overlapping (left over right) in the center of your upper chest area, between the opponent’s arms, with elbows anchored (toward 6:00V) and almost touching in front of your lower abdomen area. Immediately, settle (toward 6:00V) into a left neutral bow with the rotating (left counter clockwise V) (right clockwise V) and parting (left toward 9:00H) (right toward 3:00H) of both your hands to the inside of both the opponent’s forearms, simultaneously, while maintaining anchored elbows (toward 6:00V). Without any loss of motion, shift forward (counter clockwise H) into a left forward bow (toward 12:00H) with a right thrusting straight (toward 12:00H) hand-sword (punching chop) to the opponent’s lower left peck area (major), while simultaneously cocking (toward 3:00H) your left hand across your body to your right upper shoulder area, palm up (toward 12:00H), in preparation for the next move. |
Note |
The above series of moves should be done as a single series of almost continuous motion, instead of breaking the motion into its component parts. |
Result |
From the initial move, both the opponent’s arms should pass safely by your body, nullifying the push. From the hand-sword, the opponent’s forward momentum should be halted (borrowed force) with the head and shoulders continuing to move and beginning to bend forward (toward 6:00H). |
2) |
Immediately, shift (clockwise H) back into a left neutral (toward 6:00H) with thrusting straight left hand-sword (toward 12:00H) to the opponent’s throat area (minor), while simultaneously drawing (toward 6:00H) your right fist to your right hip, palm up (toward 12:00V), in preparation for the next move. |
Result |
The forward momentum of the opponent’s head and shoulders should be halted with both hands beginning to attempt to cover the throat area. |
3) |
Shift forward (counter clockwise H) into a left forward bow (toward 12:00H) with a thrusting right vertical punch (toward 12:00H) to the opponent’s sternum (major), while simultaneously drawing (toward 6:00H) your left open hand across your body to your right upper ribcage area, palm down (toward 6:00V). |
Note |
Your left retracting arm should pass underneath your punching arm. |
Result |
The opponent’ body should be thrust backward (toward 12:00H) and collapse (toward 6:00V) to the ground (toward 12:00H) (body on the 12:00H-6:00H line), face up (toward 6:00V). |
4) |
Shift (clockwise H) back into a left neutral bow (toward 12:00H) while retracting your right open hand to your left solar plexus (positioned cover), palm forward (toward 12:00H), simultaneously with the raising of your left arm to a left vertical blocking position (positioned cover). Cross out and cover (toward 4:30H). |
