Situation: |
You are in a standard right neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with the opponent (at 12:00H) (facing 6:00H) executing a right, thrustinf, step through, front kick (toward 6:00H) to your abdomen area (toward 4:30H). |
1a) |
Step your right foot back (toward 6:00H) into a left twist (facing 12:00H), while delivering a right, parrying (toward 4:30H), downward block to the outside of the opponent's right lower leg (counter clockwise V), while simultaneously raising (toward 12:00V) your left open hand to your right solar plexus (positioned cover), palm forward (toward 12:00H). |
Result: |
The opponent's kick should be diverted to your right-rear flank (toward 4:30H) (close center line). |
Situation |
The opponent continues their attack with a thrusting, left, straight punch (toward 6:00H) to your face area. |
1b) |
Rotate (clockwise H) into a left neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with a left, thrusting, inward block to the outside of the opponent's right upper forearm (toward 1:30H) - allowing your blocking arm to slide up the outside opponent's right forearm to at least the elbow (sliding check), while simultaneously allowing your right arm to conclude its rotation (toward 4:30V), extending to your right, lower hip area (toward 4:30H). |
Result |
The opponent's punch should be met and diverted (toward 4:30H), allowing the punch to safely pass by you (close center line) with their right foot planting (toward 4:30H) and their rear centerline exposed to you (on a 10:30H - 4:30H line). |
1c) |
Immediately execute a right, instep kick (toward 12:00H) (toward 8:00V) to the inside, back of the opponent's left knee area (major), while simultaneously starting to reverse the orbit (clockwise V) of your right arm (toward 12:00H). |
Result |
The opponent's left knee should begin to buckle (toward 12:00H). |
1d) |
Plant your right foot forward (toward 12:00H) into a transitory, right twist (facing 12:00H) with a front, thrusting, right, upward (toward 12:00V) shape of crane (toward 12:00H) to the underside of the opponent's groin area (major), while simultaneously allowing your left open hand and arm to shift (toward 12:00H) (with the forward momentum of your body) across the opponent's back area to end in a cross body check, palm away from you (toward 1:30H). |
Result |
The upward momentum of your strike should slow (opposing forces) the buckle of the opponent's left leg, while the opponent's upper body begins to bend forward (toward 1:30H) with hands beginning to attempt to cover the groin area. |
2a) |
Immediately, rotate (counter clockwise H) into a right neutral bow (facing 12:00H) with a right, upward (toward 12:00V) scoop kick (toward 1:30H) to the opponent's groin area (major), while simultaneously shifting your right arm upward (toward 12:00V) to a vertical blocking position (positioned cover) with the retraction (toward 7:30H) of your left hand to your right solar plexus (positioned cover), palm foward (toward 1:30H). |
Note |
The kick should be timed as to take advantage of the rotation of your stance to enhance its power. |
Result |
The downward momentum of the opponent should be fully stopped (opposing forces), while the upper body continues to bend forward (toward 1:30H) with their hands continuing to attempt to cover the groin area. |
2b) |
As the momentum of the scoop kick ends, immediately reverse it (diversified angle of attack) to deliver a right, sweeping, buckle (toward 4:30V) (toward 4:30H) to the back of the opponent's right leg with a right back elbow to the opponent's right kidney area (major), palm up (toward 12:00V), while simultaneously shifting (toward 12:00V) your left open hand above your right shoulder, palm away from you (toward 4:30H). |
Note |
The end result of the above moves should place you in a left reverse bow (facing 4:30H). |
3) |
In-place stance switch (90 degrees counter clockwise H) by shifting (toward 10:30H) your right foot to the right of your left foot (toward 3:00H), then immediately delivering a left, sweeping, buckle (toward 4:30V) (toward 1:30H) to the back of the opponent's left leg with the rotation (counter clockwise H) of your left arm with your body to deliver an thrusting, outward elbow (toward 4:30H) to the back of the opponent's head (minor), palm facing you (toward 10:30H), while simultaneously rotating your right hand with your body to deliver a thrusting, right, inward heel-palm (toward 4:30H) to the opponent's left kidney area (minor), palm forward (toward 4:30H) and finger to your right (toward 3:00V). |
Note |
The end result of the above moves should place you in a right reverse bow (facing 1:30H). |
Result |
The opponent's stance should further split (toward 1:30H) with the upper body beginning to collapse backward (toward 7:30H), but forced to stay vertical (temporarily) by your strikes. |
4a) |
Right front cross over (toward 9:00H) with a left, snapping, inverted middle knuckle (toward 4:30H) to the opponent's left temple area (minor), while maintaining your other defenses (positioned cover). |
Result |
The opponent's head should snap to their right (toward 4:30H) and continue collapsing to the ground (on a 1:30H - 7:30H line), face up (toward 12:00V). |
4b) |
Continue your cross out and cover toward 9:00H). |
