Situation:

You are in a left neutral bow, both hands raised slightly above your shoulders, with the opponent (to your front) initiating a right step-through knife thrust toward your abdomen.

1)

Immediately slide your right foot (toward left rear) while simultaneously executing a right hooking downward outward parry to the outside of the opponent's right wrist. As your parry directs the knife hand (toward right rear), execute a left heel-palm parry to the outside of the opponent's right elbow before sliding your left hand to the top of his right wrist to grab it.

2)

While maintaining the grab with your left hand, without disrupting your flow of action, slide your right foot clockwise, rotating your body 180 degrees, (toward right front). As you complete this maneuver, ending in a left neutral bow, buckle the opponent's right leg with your right leg while simultaneously executing a right back elbow strike to his right or left ribcage, depending on alignment, positioning yourself back to back with him while maintaining your left-hand grab on his right wrist.

3)

Immediately slide your right foot counter-clockwise (toward left rear) into a right neutral bow. During this action, have your right hand take the place of your left hand in grabbing the opponent's right wrist. Without delay, shape your left hand like a crane and hook it onto the left side of the opponent's neck and throat. In one motion, pivot counter-clockwise (facing right front) as your left forearm fulcrums on top of his right shoulder, using his back as well, forcing his neck, throat, and head back. While leveraging his head back, drop into a left wide kneel, pulling him down with both hands, guiding and forcing his right elbow onto your left knee with intent to break the arm.

4)

Grab the opponent's right wrist again with your left hand, assisting your right hand in twisting his wrist counter-clockwise, while moving your left foot back (toward left). Immediately rotate counter-clockwise into another left wide kneel (facing left), simultaneously twisting and forcing his knife, if still held, into his own throat. If he releases the knife on the arm break, maintain the hold on his right wrist with your left hand as your right hand grabs the knife and plunges it into his throat.

5)

Grab the opponent's right wrist with your right hand. As you release your left-hand grab, shift it to grab the back of his right hand, reversing it clockwise, left palm facing away from you. As your left hand twists his right hand clockwise, possibly spraining or breaking his wrist, simultaneously wrap his left arm around your left leg. Continue rotating your left hand clockwise and toward you while pushing down on his outer right elbow with your right heel-palm, dislocating his right shoulder.

6)

Grab under the opponent's right wrist with your right hand, clockwise, palm out, as your left hand releases its grab. Without delay, switch into a left reverse bow, your right hand maintaining its grab on his right wrist. Continue twisting his right arm clockwise, placing greater pressure on his wrist and shoulder, while simultaneously striking his right elbow with your left heel of palm, possibly spraining or breaking it.

7)

Cock your left leg and deliver a left heel stomp to the right side of the opponent's neck, as both hands grab and pull up, toward you, on his right arm, causing further shoulder dislocation.

8)

Force the opponent's right arm to the ground, left front crossover stomp on top of his right wrist, and cover out twice (toward right rear).
