DEFYING THE STORM (Front: Right step through roundhouse club)
1. While Standing Naturally, step forward (toward 11 o’clock) with your right foot into a right neutral bow, as your right knee buckles the inside of your opponent’s right knee. Simultaneous with this action strike your opponent’s right wrist with your left extended outward handsword. Coordinate this with a right inward handsword to your opponent’s right biceps. (Your opponent should drop his club, and lose his balance.)
2. Instantly have your left hand grab your opponent’s left wrist and your right hand grab the back of your opponent’s right elbow. Without delay, step back with your right foot toward 4:30 into a left forward bow. With this action, push his right wrist out and away from you while pulling and rolling his right elbow down and toward you (Rolling Check / Opposing Forces) to snap your opponent’s right elbow joint. This is done while anchoring your right elbow past your right hip. (Your opponent should bend forward at the waist.)
3. Follow up with a right knee strike to your opponent’s sternum. (This should knock the wind out of your opponent.)
4. As you plant your right foot toward 11 o’clock, into a right neutral bow, bury a right inward overhead elbow strike to your opponent’s upper spine. Have your left hand maintain control of his right wrist.
5. Have your left hand release your opponent’s right wrist and pivot clockwise into a right front rotating twist stance as you deliver a left inward elbow strike to, and through, the right side of your opponent’s jaw.
6. Immediately pivot counterclockwise (out of the right twist) into a right neutral bow as your execute a left outward elbow strike to the left side of your opponent’s jaw, followed by a right inward horizontal heel palm claw to the same target, in addition to the face. Continue the flow of your torquing action and execute a right back scooping heel kick to the underside of your opponent’s groin. (All of these moves are residually timed so that they occur within the flow of your torquing action to add power to the scoop kick).
7. From the position of your scoop kick, plant your right foot toward 6 o’clock and immediately pivot counterclockwise as you deliver a left spinning back heel kick to your opponent’s solar plexus.
8. Execute a right inward crescent kick to your opponent’s face. A hop may be required when gauging with your left leg (Gauging Leg).
9. From the position of your right kick, execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 6 o’clock.
