|
Situation: |
You are in a right neutral bow, right hand hanging low near your right leg, left hand checking high, with the opponent (to your front) delivering a right front thrust kick toward your abdomen, followed by a left spinning back kick. |
1) |
As the opponent delivers his right front thrust kick, pivot into a right reverse close kneel. While pivoting, execute a right inside downward, palm down, block to the inside and under his right leg. Continue by pivoting clockwise into a right neutral bow, converting your right hand into an extended outward block. |
Result: |
The opponent should be forced to turn clockwise, his foot planting toward right rear, his back toward you. |
2) |
As the opponent follows up with a left spinning back kick, drop your right foot back into a left front twist stance (facing forward). As you drop back, execute a right downward diagonal block to the outside of his left leg, your left hand checking at solar plexus level. |
Result: |
The opponent should be off balance and leaning forward. |
3) |
Using the residual torque from your previous move, pivot clockwise, delivering a left roundhouse kick to the opponent's head. |
Result: |
His head should be driven back. |
4) |
Plant your left foot, adjusting as needed, delivering a right spinning hooking heel kick to the opponent's solar plexus or another available target. |
Result: |
The opponent should drop to his knees. |
5) |
From the contact point of your kick, execute a right front crossover and cover out (toward left rear). |
6) |
Survey. |
7) |
Return with a right hopping knife-edge kick to any available opening on the opponent. |
8) |
From the contact point of your kick, execute a right front crossover and cover out twice (toward left rear). |
