GIFT OF DESTINY     (Front: Handshake)

1.  While Standing Naturally, step forward with your right foot into a right neutral bow (facing 12 o’clock), buckling the inside of your opponent’s right knee with your right knee.  Simultaneous with this movement, have your left hand grab your opponent’s right wrist.  Your palm and fingers are on top of his wrist joint.  While grabbing, strike with a right inward horizontal elbow to your opponent’s solar plexus.  (This should create pain on your opponent’s right wrist as well as knock the wind out of your opponent.)

2.  Have your right hand circle counterclockwise, contouring your opponent’s right fingers with the palm of your right hand.  (Your fingers are now pointing up and your thumb is down.) During this action your left hand still controls your opponent’s right wrist.  Immediately have your right hand grab your opponent’s fingers.

3.  While stepping back toward 6 o’clock, into a left neutral bow (facing 12 o’clock), turn your right hand clockwise and in the process twist your opponent’s wrist palm up.  Simultaneously turn your left hand counterclockwise (as your left heel of palm uses your opponent’s right wrist as a Pivot Point), ending with your left hand (palm up) controlling under his right wrist (which is also palm up).  At the completion of fully twisting with your right hand, reach further around your opponent’s right wrist with your left hand, which now allows your left hand to twist your opponent’s wrist even further.  As you settle into your left neutral bow release your right hand and chamber it.  (This should force your opponent to bend forward at the waist and control his Height Zones.)

4.  Immediately render a right heel palm thrust strike to the back of your opponent’s right hand to break your opponent’s wrist.  To insure more pain, strike toward 1:30 (not directly toward your opponent’s right elbow.)

5.  Deliver a right front snapping ball kick to your opponent’s solar plexus.  (This should knock the wind out of your opponent.)

6.  Have your left hand, which is still grabbing your opponents right wrist, shift his right arm to the left of your body.  Immediately plant your right foot (from its contact position) toward 1:30 into a right neutral bow while taking advantage of Marriage of Gravity execute a right diagonal downward back knuckle strike to the opponents right jaw hinge.  Without any loss of motion shift into a right forward bow as you execute the left of vertical punch to the same target.  Have your left arm instantly check your opponents right shoulder.

7.  Having followed through with the action of your right back knuckle strike, switch back to a right neutral bow as you execute a right diagonal stiff-arm back knuckle strike (traveling from 5 o’clock to 11 o’clock) to and through his face.

8.  With your right fist now positioned to the left of your head immediately execute a left rear crossover while residually employing a right outward horizontal back elbow strike to and through your opponent’s jaw.

9.  Pivot counterclockwise (in-place) into a right to neutral bow as you immediately execute a right inward horizontal elbow strike to the left side of the opponent’s jaw.  (Positionally check with your left hand.) Continue pivoting into the same direction (360 degrees) into a left neutral bow as you follow through with a left outward elbow strike to his face.  Positionally check with your right hand.

10.  Immediately slide your left foot back toward 9 o’clock into a left reverse bow to buckle your opponents right knee from inside out while executing a left hammerfist strike to your opponents groin.

11.  Immediately pivot counterclockwise (in-place) into a left forward bow as you execute a right heel of palm thrust to your opponent’s jaw, followed by a right knee strike to his groin.

12.  From the contact position of your right knee, execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 4:30.
