Broken Gift      (Front: Handshake)

1.  With your opponent squeezing your hand, step forward with your left foot toward 12 o’clock into a left neutral bow (inside of his right leg).  Simultaneous with your left step, turn your opponent’s right hand counterclockwise with your right hand, as your left hand grabs your opponent’s right wrist (with your palm up, underneath his wrist).  Without hesitation execute a left upward flapping elbow strike under the joint of your opponent’s right elbow, while your right arm pulls down to cause an elbow break.  (Your opponent should rise onto the tips of his toes.

2.  Step back with your left foot toward 6 o’clock into a right neutral bow (facing 12 o’clock).  Coordinated with this action have your left hand assist by grabbing your opponent’s right wrist as both of your hands twist your opponent’s right wrist and arm clockwise, violently jerking his arm diagonally down past your left hip.  (Such action can cause a shoulder dislocation.)

3.  As your left foot settles into your right neutral bow, immediately execute a right outward back knuckle strike to your opponent’s right temple.  During this action retain your left grab on your opponent’s right wrist, while still pulling your opponent’s right arm toward you.  (This should daze your opponent.)

4.  Slide your left foot counterclockwise toward 4:30 (Up the Circle) into a right neutral bow (facing 10:30) as you deliver a right inward elbow strike to the left side of your opponent’s jaw.  Your left hand still controls your opponent’s Height Zones by forcing his right arm diagonally down.  (Your opponent should drop to the ground.)

5.  Follow through with your right inward elbow strike and like a figure 8 pattern flow into an outward downward elbow strike to and through your opponents right jaw.  Without disrupting your flow of action execute an upward vertical elbow strike the underside of his chin.

6.  Have your left hand, which is still grabbing your opponents right wrist, twist his arm clockwise so that his right elbow now faces up, as you then execute a right inward downward hammerfist strike to the back of his right elbow to break it.

7.  Immediately grab your opponents right wrist (or hand) with your right hand, slide your right foot back toward 4:30, as you rotate his right arm clockwise into a wrist lock (similar to “Spiraling Twig”).  Follow-up with a left front snapping ball kick to his solar plexus.

8.  Plant your left foot (from its contact position) as you gauge it accordingly.  Immediately execute a right thrusting knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponents right knee.

9.  From the contact position of your right kick execute a right front crossover toward 6 o’clock and pivot counterclockwise (in-place) into a left reverse heel scoop kick to your opponent’s chin.

10.  From the contact position of your left kick, execute a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 5 o’clock.
