Entwined Lance (Front: Right step through knife thrust)
1. While in a left neutral bow and as your opponent thrusts his knife, shift your left foot slightly toward 3 o'clock as well as pivot into a left front rotating twist stance. As you move out of the Line of Attack and move Up the Circle, have your left hand hook the inside of your opponent's right wrist (palm up like a waiter carrying a tray). Your right hand cocks at your right hip as a Point of Reference for your next move.
2. Without loss of momentum have your right foot step forward toward 10:30 into a right fighting horse stance. Your right knee should buckle the inside of your opponent's right knee. As you step, deliver a right thrusting heel palm strike to the right side of your opponent's jaw (your fingertips are pointed toward 9 o'clock). Simultaneous with the buckle and heel palm, have your left hand grab your opponent's right wrist to limit the Angle of Versatility. (Your heel palm strike should daze your opponent, as the buckle weakens his foundation. Your opponent should drop the knife.)
3. Execute a right front crossover sweep of your opponent's right leg. As you sweep, have your right hand travel as a sliding check down your opponent's right arm to control his right wrist. Simultaneous with these actions deliver a left two-finger eye poke to your opponent's eyes. At the time of contact of your left finger poke, you should be in a left one-leg stance. (This should temporarily blind your opponent as well as function as a secondary move to disarm your opponent.)
4. From your one-leg stance, deliver a right knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponent's left knee. (This should destroy your opponent's foundation.)
5. As you plant your right foot forward into a right neutral bow, convert your left finger poke to a left hand grab of your opponent's right wrist (sliding and checking your opponent's right arm on the way). Simultaneously execute a right outward back knuckle strike to your opponent's right lower ribcage. (This should stun your opponent, and force him to bend forward at the waist.)
6. From your right back knuckle strike, deliver a right upward flapping elbow strike under your opponent's chin. (This should snap his head back.)
7. The final two strikes of this technique employ a timing not normally used. Execute a right outward back knuckle strike to your opponent's right maxillary hinge just prior to stepping back with your right foot. Have your right foot step back toward 4:30 into a left neural bow (facing 10:30). As you step back, deliver a left inward hammerfist strike to the back of your opponent's neck. The Residual Torque of your back knuckle strike accentuates your hammerfist strike with occurs during the rotation of your step back.
8. Execute a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 4:30.
