BROKEN RAM     (Front: Tackle with your opponent’s arms wide)

1.  While in a right neutral bow, have your left foot swing counterclockwise toward 3 o’clock into a right neutral bow (facing 9 o’clock).  Simultaneous with this action execute a right outside downward parry to the inside of your opponent’s left arm, as your left hand checks the left side of your opponent’s head or neck.  Continue the flow of both arms as your right hand now becomes an inward overhead hammerfist to the back of your opponent’s neck and your left hand a check against your opponent’s left arm.  (Your opponent should buckle at the knees.)

2.  With your opponent’s left arm attempting to grasp your waist, pivot to your left into a right reverse bow (looking over your right shoulder and deliver a right uppercut forearm strike against the joint of your opponent’s left elbow, to cause a break.  Your body, with your opponent’s arm around your waist, acts a fulcrum that helps to accentuate the break.  Your left hand check in the Neutral Zone.  (Your opponent’s upper body should snap back.)

3.  Deliver a right back scoop kick to the opponent’s groin.  Your opponent should again bend forward at the waist.

4.  Plant your right foot to Point of Origin.  (Adjust the foot if and when necessary.) While planting your right foot, buckle the inside of your opponent’s left knee with your right leg.  During this action loop your right hand counterclockwise and over opponent’s left arm and strike to your opponent’s left jaw hinge, with a right downward hammerfist.  Time this action as you settle into your right reverse bow to gain the full effect of your Marriage of Gravity.

5.  Immediately execute a right outward heel palm claw to the left side of your opponent’s face followed by a left inward upward heel of palm claw to the front of his face.  This action should help to raise your opponent’s posture.

6.  Immediately execute a left knee strike to your opponent’s groin or ribs, followed by a right knee strike to either target.  (The execution of both knees are timed like a chicken kick.) From the contact position of your right knee, pivot counterclockwise as you execute a right knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponents right knee.

7.  From the contact position of your right kick, execute a right front crossover toward 6 o’clock into a left rear twist stance (this stance is described (as such) because of the fact that you are looking at your opponent over your right shoulder) and immediately pivot counterclockwise into a left spinning scoop kick to the underside of your opponent’s jaw.  From the contact position of your left kick, follow up with a left thrusting back kick to any available opening (jaw, throat, or solar plexus).

8.  From the contact position of your left kick, execute a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 6 o’clock.
