Destructive Twins

1)Step forward (toward 12:00H) into a right neutral bow (facing 12:00H) while simultaneously delivering a right, thrusting, inverted punch, palm up (toward 12:00V), to groin height, with a left high, thrusting, straight punch, palm down (toward 6:00V), to the face height.
Note:The punches should be timed with the step forward in order to maximum their effectiveness (confluence of forces).
2a)Shift your right foot toward your right (toward 1:30H) into a wide right neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with a left horizontal downward forearm strike (toward 6:00V), palm facing you (toward 6:00H) (stopping at mid-abdomen level), while simultaneously delivering a right inside vertical forearm strike (toward 10:30H), palm facing diagonally to your left (toward 7:30H), to normal blocking dimensions, in preparation for the next move.
Note:The shift of your right foot should place your body on a 1:30H / 7:30H line, while you continue to face and maintain your attention forward (toward 12:00H).
2b)Without any loss of motion, deliver a left outward vertical forearm strike (toward 9:00H), palm facing to your left (toward 6:00H), to normal blocking dimensions, while simultaneously retracting (toward 4:30H) your right arm to a chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), in preparation for the next move.
2c)Shift clockwise (toward 1:30H) into a right wide forward bow (facing 12:00H) with a left, thrusting, straight four finger poke, palm down (toward 6:00V) to eye level.
Note:The shift of your stance should keep you on the 130H / 7:30H line but, effectively placing you in a forward bow position toward 1:30H.
3)Rotate (counter clockwise) into a horse (facing 10:30H) with the retraction of your left arm (toward 4:30H) to a left chambered position, palm up (toward 12:00V), while simultaneously delivering a right, thrusting straight punch to floating rib height (toward 10:30H), palm down (toward 6:00V).
Option:To visually demonstrate that the left hand represents a grab to the potential opponent's left wrist followed by a pull to accentuate the right hand punch, the left hand may be retracted to chambered position, palm down (toward 6:00V) - either fully closed or partially closed (simulating a grabbing position).
Note:The following maneuver can be construed as a transition maneuver from this technique to the next or the setup maneuver to the next technique. It will be written as the setup maneuver of the next technique.
