|
Situation: |
You are standing with the opponent at your right rear flank executing a left step-through punch. |
1) |
As the opponent executes his left step-through punch from right rear, hop (toward left front) onto your left leg, slightly rotating your body clockwise, delivering a right snapping knife-edge kick to the opponent's left knee, looking at him over your right shoulder. |
Result: |
The opponent's forward momentum should stop, causing him to bend forward. |
2) |
Plant your right foot (toward right rear), gauging distance for your next move. Drag your left foot to your right foot to further adjust distance, executing a right back thrusting heel kick to the opponent's left ribcage, your hands positioned as checks off to your right. |
Result: |
The opponent should be driven back. |
3) |
Plant your right foot again, flat-footed, (toward right rear) into a reverse right neutral bow. Immediately slide your left foot counter-clockwise 180 degrees, executing a left spinning, stiff-leg sweep to the outside of the opponent's left leg. |
Result: |
The opponent should lean backward, his head directed toward left rear to left front. |
4) |
Conclude your sweep by converting it into a transitional left reverse bow, then pivot into a left neutral bow (facing right rear), simultaneously delivering a left outward back-knuckle strike to the opponent's left kidney, your right hand checking high. |
Result: |
The opponent should be forced further back, between left rear and left front, exposing the front of his body facing up. |
5) |
Immediately drop into a left close kneel, simultaneously delivering a right inward overhead hammer-fist to the opponent's sternum, your left arm positioned as a check on his left arm. |
Result: |
The opponent should be stunned and forced to the ground. |
6) |
With the opponent on his back, head between left front and left rear, deliver a right spinning back heel stomp to his face or any available opening. |
7) |
From the contact point of your right stomp kick, execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice (toward right front and right rear). |
