Broken Rod (Rear: Right hand pistol)
1. While Standing Naturally, your opponent approaches from the rear and presses a pistol in your back. Immediately pivot clockwise (180 degrees) into a transitory right front rotating twist stance (have your right foot move toward 4:30 with your head focused toward 7:30). To insure getting out of the Line of Attack, pivot clockwise on the ball of your left foot while slightly lifting your right foot off of the ground. As you rotate into your right front twist stance plant your right foot more toward 4:30 while simultaneously executing a right outward hooking parry (like a waiter carrying a tray) to the outside and on top of your opponent's right wrist.
2. Without loss of momentum have your left foot step toward 7:30 into a left neutral bow, making sure that your left leg checks the inside of your opponent's right knee. As your left foot steps toward 7:30 (into a left neutral bow), have your right hand grab your opponent's right hand including the pistol while simultaneously executing a left uppercut strike to the underside of your opponent's left elbow. Both left uppercut and right grab are to apply Opposing Forces to successfully fracture your opponent's right elbow. This action should not only control your opponent's Line of Attack, but force your opponent to release the pistol as well.
3. Immediately switch your legs (Back to Front Switch) by having your left foot slide slightly back (toward 1 o'clock) as your right foot steps forward (toward 5 o'clock) into a right forward bow to aid you in buckling the inside of your opponent's right knee. As you step forward with your right foot have your left hand gravitationally check your opponent's right shoulder while dropping into a right forward bow and yanking the pistol out of your opponent's right hand with your right hand (if the gun has not been released already).
4. Immediately deliver a right vertical lifting upward strike under your opponent's chin with the butt of the pistol. In the same motion loop the pistol clockwise and strike (diagonally down and to your left) to the left side of your opponent's temple with the barrel of the pistol (making sure that the barrel points away from you at all times). (This should shock your opponent and force his upper body back.)
5. Now hop onto your left leg into a one-leg stance (in the direction of 4:30) to the outside of your opponent's right leg while simultaneously looping the pistol counterclockwise in an outward downward hammering manner to strike to the back of your opponent's right elbow with the barrel of the pistol. During this action your left hand should still be checking on or near your opponent's right shoulder.
6. While still in a left one-leg stance, execute a right thrusting knife-edge kick to the back of your opponent's left or right knee, whichever is closest. Your hands are checking in the Neutral Zone. (This should buckle your opponent's left or right knee to the ground, again depending upon whichever leg is closest.)
7. Have your right foot plant between your opponent's legs (toward 10 o'clock) into a right neutral bow. As you plant your right foot, execute a right inward upward rake with the butt of the pistol to your opponent's right lower ribcage. (The path of the rake is inward and diagonally upward.)
8. Immediately pivot clockwise (in-place) into a right front rotating twist stance. As you pivot, strike outward and diagonally down (from left to right) to the back of your opponent's neck with the barrel of the pistol. Follow through with your strike and while utilizing the same Rotational Force, deliver a left inward downward heel palm strike to the back of your opponent's neck. Have the same strike contour your opponent's neck to act as a check on top of your opponent's right shoulder. (Your opponent should bend forward.)
9. With your right hand hanging near your right side, pivot counterclockwise into a transitory right neutral bow as you execute a right upward diagonal strike (from right to left) with the butt of the pistol to the right side of your opponent's face. Without loss of momentum continue to rotate your body counterclockwise, step toward 3 o'clock with your right foot, and pivot (180 degrees) into a left neutral bow (facing 9 o'clock).
10. After briefly surveying your opponent, execute a left front crossover toward 3 o'clock and grab the barrel of the pistol with your left hand. As you step out with your right foot toward 3 o'clock point the barrel of the gun away from you and place the handle of the pistol in your right hand (in the proper firing position). Drop your left hand down and under the pistol (position your left hand to the right of your right hand, fingers vertical and palm out).
11. Now that you are clear, settle into a left neutral bow, rest your right wrist on top of your left wrist, and aim the pistol at your opponent. (Do not let your left hand exceed the end of the barrel.)
