DELAYED SWORD (Right Hand Lapel Grab)
- As your opponent grabs you with his right hand, step with your left foot to six o’clock into a right neutral bow as you execute a right inward block to the inside of your opponent’s right arm or biceps. Pin opponent’s right hand with your left hand as this move is executed.
- Execute a front snapping ball kick to your opponent’s groin.
- As your opponent bends forward, reacting to your kick, plant your right foot in its original position and execute a right outward handsword to the right side of your opponent’s neck. Apply marriage of gravity as you plant and strike simultaneously.
ALTERNATING MACES (Two-Hand Front Push)
- With feet together as opponent pushes , step back with your left foot into a right neutral bow stance as you execute a right inward and downward horizontal forearm block on top of the opponent’s right and left arms. (At this point your left hand is cocked at your left hip.)
- Immediately deliver a left vertical thrust punch to the opponent’s sternum or solar-plexus while torquing into a right forward bow stance. (Your right arm is still across both his arms to act as a check.)
- Drop your left punching hand (palm open and down) on top of both of your opponent’s arms ( to check) and switch your right hand up and inside your left arm and out into a right horizontal back knuckle strike to the right temple of your opponent. While doing this, you are changing your stance back into a right neutral bow (using torque to increase the whipping action of your right hand).
- Immediately snap your right hand back into a cover position.
- No cover out is required.
SWORD OF DESTRUCTION (Left Straight Or Round House Punch)
- With your feet together step back with your left foot into a right neutral bow stance as you execute a right extended outward strike to left inner wrist of the opponent’s left punch (at this point your left hand is covering near your solar-plexus).
- From your right neutral bow stance, immediately deliver a right front snap ball kick to your opponent’s groin.
- As you plant down (employing marriage of gravity) execute a right inward hand sword strike to the left side of your opponent’s neck.
- Immediately snap your right hand back to the inner wrist of the opponent’s left arm to act as a check (keeping your hand open, palm up, finger pointing away from you and your right elbow anchored down to protect your right rib cage).
- No cover out is required.
DEFLECTING HAMMER (Right Front Thrust Kick)
- With your feet together step back with your left foot into a right neutral bow stance as you execute a right deflecting downward block against the outside of opponent’s kicking leg. (This is done on a line from 11 o’clock to 5 o’clock.).
- From your right neutral bow, execute a left inward check to outside of the opponent’s right arm (at or above the elbow).
- Immediately shuffle forward (push drag) as you execute a right inward elbow strike to opponent’s right rib-cage or face, depending upon the circumstances.
- No cover out is required.
SWORD AND HAMMER ( Right Flank – Left Hand Shoulder Grab)
- With feet together and opponent (standing at 3 o’clock) with his left hand grabbing your right shoulder, step off right to 2 o’clock into a horse stance, and immediately as your right foot plants, swing both your arms to the right, your left hand goes to your right shoulder to become a pinning check to his left hand, and your right hand becomes a right outward hand-sword strike to his adams apple.
- As the opponent reacts to the handsword strike and bends backward, execute a right downward and backward hammerfist strike to his groin.
- No cover out is required.
