Defying the Rod (Front: Right pistol - holdup)
1. While Standing Naturally, with your hands at your sides, have your left foot slide toward 1:30 as you pivot (in-place) counterclockwise into a left front rotating twist stance. As you rotate your body to get out of the Line of Attack, execute a left outward hooking parry (like a waiter carrying a tray) to the inside of, and top of, your opponent’s right hand. Your right hand is positioned in front of your solar plexus.
2. Immediately convert your left parry to a grab to your opponent’s right hand (at the pistol), as you execute a right front snapping ball kick to your opponent’s groin simultaneous with a right two-finger eye poke to your opponent’s eyes. (This should temporarily blind your opponent, as well as nauseate him.
3. Have your right foot plant forward (toward 11 o’clock) into a right neutral bow as you buckle the inside of your opponent’s right knee and execute a right inward strike to your opponent’s right biceps to force his upper body forward. During this maneuver have your left hand assist the momentum of your right inward block by yanking your opponent’s right arm further down and to your left. Simultaneous with this action execute a right upward flapping elbow strike to the underside of his chin. (Your opponent’s head should snap back.)
4. Have your right hand grab and dislodge the pistol from your opponent’s right hand as you maintain the grab with your left hand. Immediately have your right foot step back toward 6 o’clock into a left neutral bow (facing 12 o’clock). During the step back, execute a right outward downward diagonal strike with the butt of the pistol to the back and left side of your opponent’s neck. This should stun your opponent and begin to force his head to bend forward.
5. With the pistol and your right hand forming an Open End Triangle, anchor your elbow and further force your opponent’s head down and to you. Simultaneously execute a right front knee kick to your opponent’s sternum, utilizing Borrowed Force. With the knee kick still in position, continue to circle your right hand counterclockwise and execute a right inward overhead hammering strike with the butt of the pistol to the back of your opponent’s spine (directly opposite the sternum) thus causing a sandwiching effect. Your left hand should be checking your opponent’s right shoulder during this action. (This should stun your opponent even more, as well as momentarily freeze his action.)
6. With your right knee still embedded in your opponent’s sternum, and your left hand still maintaining its check, execute a right front snapping instep kick to your opponent’s groin. (Your opponent should further bend forward at the waist.)
7. From the Point of Contact of your right instep kick execute a right side snapping knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponent’s left knee. (This should buckle your opponent’s left knee outward and cause him to start to fall.)
8. From the Point of Contact of your right kick execute a right front crossover toward 4:30. With your right foot still in motion have your right hand circle counterclockwise as you then strike with the butt of the pistol, down and to the outside as well as underside of your opponent’s right elbow. Both the butt of the pistol and your right hand again act as an Open End Triangle. Your left hand should now be checking (Positional Check). (This should clear your opponent’s right arm and pin it against his right ribcage.)
9. Retrieve your right hand to your left chest and at the very moment your right foot plants into a left rear twist stance (facing your opponent), execute a right outward downward strike with the butt of the pistol to your opponent’s head. Your left hand should remain checking high. (Your opponent should begin to fall to the ground.)
10. Before your opponent falls to the ground, pivot your entire body counterclockwise (180 degrees) and execute a left spinning back heel kick to any available opening on your opponent. (This should knock your opponent onto his back.)
11. From the Point of Contact of your left kick, take the pistol by the bottom of its barrel with your left hand and left front crossover toward 6 o’clock as your switch the handle of the pistol and place it in your right hand. Complete the step out with your right foot toward 6 o’clock and 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). Be sure to slip your left hand beside and below in the checking position (taking care so as not to have your hand go in front of the barrel),
12. 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.)
