SHIELD AND MACE     (Front: Right step through punch)

1.  While Standing Naturally, move forward and to your left with your left foot toward 11 o'clock into a left neutral bow.  Immediately pivot to your right into a horse stance and deliver a right vertical outward block to the outside of your opponent's right arm.  This is done while simultaneously delivering a left straight punch to your opponent's right lower ribcage.  (Your opponent should bend forward at the waist.)

2.  Pivot to your left and drop into a left close kneel stance as you strike down with a right hammerfist to the top of your opponent's right kidney, driving down to the pelvic area.  Your left hand is now a Bracing Angle Check at your opponent's right elbow.  (Your opponent should buckle at the knees.)

3.  Circle your left hand clockwise and pin your opponent's right arm down to his own body as your right hand circles counterclockwise striking your opponent's face and eyes with a right looping inward horizontal heel palm claw.  (This should snap your opponent's neck and turn his head to his right.)

4.  Continue the flow of the counterclockwise circle of your right hand and have it contour down and along the back of your opponent's body and right leg to strike the back of your opponent's right knee with your right handsword.  This action is to buckle your opponent's right leg.  Have your left hand circle clockwise and check just below your opponent's right shoulder.

5.  Without raising your body, follow up with a right knife-edge kick to the back of your opponent's left knee while your right hand (from the chop) continues to circle counterclockwise as your left hand checks your opponent's right arm.

6.  Plant you are right kicking foot to toward 1:30 as your right hand continues counterclockwise and converts into a right heel palm claw to your opponent’s jaw and face.

7.  With your opponent falling back and toward 10:30, have your right hand grab and push his chin back and toward the ground.  This is done to arch his neck and back (toward 10:30) even further.  Simultaneous with this action (capitalizing on Opposing Forces) execute a left knee strike to the back of your opponent’s neck while your left hand continues to check and brace your opponent's right arm.

8.  Plant your left foot directly under its Point of Contact and shift your right foot clockwise toward 10:30 into a left neutral bow, facing 4:30.  Simultaneously have your left hand push the back of your opponent’s head forward, as your right hand jerks his chin toward you to snap his neck.  This maneuver should turn your opponent’s head and body clockwise so that he is positioned facing you, with his head and body bent over.  With the completion of the snapping of his neck have your right hand follow its natural course of travel as it checks your opponent's right arm prior to covering your groin.  Have your left hand positionally check high.

9.  Execute a right front knee kick under your opponent's chin.

10.  As your right foot plants execute a left knee kick to any available target on your opponent’s torso.

11.  From the Point of Contact of your left knee kick, execute a left snapping knife-edge kicked to the inside of your opponent's left leg.

12.  From the position of your left kick execute a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 10:30.
