Situation: |
You are in a normal stance (facing 12:00H) with both of your arms at your side (toward 6:00V) with the opponent (at 4:30H) (facing 12:00H) executing a left stiff arm grab (toward 10:30H) to your right shoulder. |
1) |
Raise your left hand (toward 1:30V) (toward 4:30H) and pin the opponent's left hand to your right shoulder with your left palm (pinning check) (toward 6:00V). |
2) |
Look over your right shoulder to gauge the distance between yourself and the opponent. |
3) |
Step back with your right foot (toward 4:30H) into a right side horse (facing 4:30H) (stabilize base) with a right outward thrusting hand-sword (major) to the opponent's throat (toward 6:00H). |
Result: |
The opponent’s upper body should bend backward (toward 6:00H) exposing the groin area, while the hands should attempt to cover the throat, but your left pinning hand prevents their left hand from doing so. |
4) |
Utilizing the rebound from the previous strike, circle your right arm (using the elbow as the pivot point) (counter clockwise V) toward you (toward 12:00H), downward (toward 6:00V), and then away from you (toward 6:00H), to deliver a right back hammering hammer-fist strike (major) to the opponent's groin (toward 6:00H), while settling your weight downward (toward 6:00V) (gravitational marriage) to increase the power of the hammer-fist. |
5) |
Release your left pin (toward 12:00V) to the opponent’s left hand, maintaining it's position and your other defenses (positioned check). |
Result: |
The opponent should bend forward (toward 12:00H) and collapse to the ground, face down (toward 6:00V), while their hands attempt to cover the groin. |
6) |
Retract your right arm to a vertical blocking position simultaneously with the lowering of your left open hand (toward 6:00V) to your right solar plexus (positioned check), palm forward (toward 4:30H), while also maintaining your other defenses (positioned check). |
