FLASHING MACE     (Front: Right step through punch)

1.  While Standing Naturally, step to 11 o’clock with your left foot, into a left neutral bow, as you deliver a left inward block to the outside of your opponent’s right arm (at or above the elbow).  Simultaneous with the block, cock your right hand above your right shoulder (palm out).  Be sure to have your left knee positionally check your opponent’s right knee.

2.  Immediately step through with your right foot, toward 10:30, into a transitional right neutral bow, as you deliver a right inward diagonal back knuckle rake to your opponent’s right cheek bone, or temple.  While striking, have your left hand in a Positional Check.  (Your opponent’s head should be driven back.)

3.  Without hesitation, pivot counterclockwise 180 degrees and strike to your opponent’s right lower ribcage with a left outward horizontal back knuckle.  In the same motion, have your right hand execute an inward heel palm Bracing Angle check to your opponent’s right upper arm.  (Your opponent should bend forward at the waist.)

4.  Follow up with a left upward hooking check (your left hand looks like a waiter carrying a tray) on top of your opponent’s right arm.  As you drop into a left wide kneel stance continue the motion of your right arm and without loss of motion, have your right hand circle counterclockwise as you loop a right overhead back knuckle strike to your opponent’s face or left temple.  Be sure to utilize a Marriage of Gravity when executing this strike.  (Your opponent’s head should snap back.)

5.  Immediately pivot clockwise (in-place) and rotate into a right reverse bow toward 4:30 as you buckle the back of your opponents right knee.  (You and your opponent are now back to back at this point.) Continue the counter clockwise flow of your right overhead punch as it loops over and down into a right hammerfist strike to your opponents left jaw.  (Have your left hand check your opponents right arm.)

6.  As your opponent begins to fall back toward 11:30 immediately drop down into a right wide kneel stance while striking to the back of your opponent’s neck with the left heel palm strike.  Opposing forces should increase the impact of your strike.

7.  Immediately shift your left foot back toward 5 o’clock, as your left hand circles clockwise and checks your opponents right shoulder.  Simultaneously have your right hand circle counterclockwise as it contours your opponent’s body and converts into a right inward downward hammerfist strike to your opponents mid-section.  This action should cause your opponent to fall onto his back with his head directed toward 10 o’clock.

8.  Drag your left foot (gauging leg) toward 10 o’clock and execute a right shovel kick with the ball of your foot first hitting his chin and the heel of your foot his nose.  From the contact position of your right foot execute a front crossover toward 8 o’clock and immediately follow up at the low left spinning heel kick to your opponents head.

9.  Left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 730.
