Situation:

You are in a natural stance (facing front) with both of your arms at your side (toward down) while the opponent (to your right rear flank) facing you (toward front) applies a left stiff arm grab (toward left front flank) to your right shoulder.

1a)

Look over your right shoulder to gauge the distance between yourself and the opponent. as you raise your left hand and pin (toward right rear flank) the opponent's left hand to your right shoulder with your left hand (pinning check), palm pointing downward (toward down).

1b)

Step back with your right foot (toward right rear flank) into a modified right side horse facing to your right (toward right rear flank) (stabilize base) with a right outward thrusting hand-sword (major) to the opponent's throat area (toward right rear flank).

Clarification:

The horse stance of the previous maneuver (1b) is called modified because the width of the stance varies from the ideal based upon the gauged distance needed to deliver proper execution of the strike.

Result:

The opponent’s upper body should bend backward (toward rear), face pointing upward (toward up) (thus exposing both the groin area and upper chest area), while their hands should attempt to cover the throat, but your left pinning hand prevents the left hand from doing so.

2)

Utilizing the rebound from the previous strike, circle your right arm (using the elbow as the primary pivot point) (counter-clockwise vertically) to deliver a right back hammering hammer-fist strike (major) to the opponent's groin (toward rear), while simultaneously settling your weight downward (toward down) to enhance the power of the hammer-fist.

Option:

Instead of delivering the hammer-fist to the groin area, the target can be altered to the sternum area with the hammer-fist being delivered directly downward (toward down), palm pointing to the left (toward front) with the settle of your stance (toward down) further into the horse (body english), taking advantage of gravitational marriage.

Elaboration:

In order for the full result of the previous maneuver to occur (2-option), you must release the pin with your left hand to the opponent's left hand. This can be accomplished without any real repositioning of the hand.

Result:

The opponent should bend forward (toward front) and collapse to the ground, face down (toward down), while their hands attempt to cover the groin.

If the option is instead taken, the opponent would instead collapse to the ground directly downward, face up (toward up).

3)

Retract both your left and right arms (as needed) to a covering position while continuing to maintain your other defenses (positioned cover).
