Situation:

You are standing naturally at your right flank with the opponent attacking with a right step-through uppercut punch.

1)

Step your right foot back (toward rear) into a left 45-degree cat stance (facing forward). As you drop back, execute a left outside downward hooking parry to the inside of the opponent's right elbow, followed by a right sweeping inside downward block, palm up, to the inside of his right arm, near the hand.

2)

As your right hand follows through, cocking palm up near your left hip, position your left hand in front of and to the right of your solar plexus (positional check). Immediately execute a left thrusting sweep kick to the shin of the opponent's right leg, continuing to check with your left hand in case he re-activates his right arm.

Result:

The sweep kick should help stop the opponent's forward momentum.

3)

Continue the flow of your action, delivering a right knife-edge kick to the inside of the opponent's left knee — the kick combination is actually a side chicken kick. Simultaneously execute a right outward back-knuckle strike to the opponent's right temple, your left hand continuing to check.

Result:

The opponent's left knee should buckle, and he should be dazed.

4)

From the contact point of your right kick, execute a right front crossover sweep of the opponent's right foot. As your right foot settles into a twist stance, deliver a right outward two-finger eye hook to his right eye, your left hand still checking his right arm.

Result:

The sweep should spread his legs, and a quarter-beat later the eye hook should temporarily blind him.

5)

Vigorously pivot counter-clockwise into a left reverse bow, converting it into a left spinning stiff-leg sweep (toward right front) to the inside of the opponent's right knee, your left hand continuing to check his arms.

Result:

The opponent should bend forward.

6)

While remaining in place, continue to pivot counter-clockwise, transitionally shifting into a left neutral bow (facing right rear), followed by a right knee kick to the opponent's solar plexus. Simultaneously deliver a right inward overhead hammer-fist strike to the back of his neck, your left hand checking his right shoulder.

Result:

The opponent should be stunned and continue descending toward the ground.

7)

Immediately switch hands so your right hand checks his right shoulder as your left executes an inward overhead hammer-fist strike down to the back of his head, simultaneous with a left knee kick to the underside of his chin.

Result:

The opponent should continue falling toward the ground.

8)

From the contact point of your left knee kick, drop into a left front crossover (toward left rear) while executing a left thrusting heel-palm strike to the back of the opponent's head.

Result:

The opponent should be forced to the ground.

9)

Complete your crossover and double cover out (toward left rear).
