Conquering Shield      (Front: Left stiff-arm lapel grab)

1.  Pin your opponent's left grabbing hand to your chest with your left hand as you execute a right inward vertical forearm strike against your opponent's left elbow to break it.  Simultaneous with this action, thrust a right front ball kick to the right inner knee cap of your opponent.  (This should buckle your opponent's right knee, and nullify his Height Zones, Width Zones and Depth Zones.)

2.  As you proceed to plant your right foot forward toward 12 o'clock into a right neutral bow, have your right arm glance up and then strike down with a right downward elbow strike to your opponent's left forearm thus forcing your opponent's head forward and down.

3.  With your feet firmly planted, deliver a right upward elbow strike under your opponent's chin as your left hand positionally checks.  (This should snap your opponent's head back.)

4.  Follow up with a right downward heel palm claw, first to the bridge of the nose, and then to the eyes and face of your opponent.

5.  As you follow through with the momentum of your right hand, quickly have it check your opponent’s left arm, as you deliver a left vertical punch to your opponent's sternum.  Immediately deliver a right stiff arm lifting forearm strike toward 11 o’clock as it travels up and under your opponent’s chin, as your left hand checks in front of your sternum. 

6.  Convert your right hand into an outward horizontal heel palm claw to the right side of your opponent’s face.  As this action turn his face to his left, execute a left knee strike to his groin.

7.  Plant your left foot (from its contact position) toward 1:30 to buckle the inside of his left knee while delivering a left stiff arm lifting forearm strike up and under your opponent’s chin.

8.  As you execute a right rear crossover toward 10:30 into a right rear twist stance, deliver a right heel of palm thrust to his face.  Positionally check with your left hand.

9.  Immediately shoot your left leg toward 11 o’clock into a left reverse bow to buckle your opponent’s right leg.  Without delay slide your left foot toward 3 o’clock, pivot counterclockwise into a left front rotating twist stance, while executing a left outward knuckle rake (similar to a left vertical outward block) across the bridge of his nose.

10.  From out of your left front twist stance, execute a back to front switch (left foot to the back and right foot to the front).  As you step forward with your right foot, execute a right downward inward diagonal knuckle rake across your opponent’s nose or cheek bone.  Time your action so that you take advantage of your Body Momentum.  This should force your opponent back.

11.  Follow up by delivering a left shovel kick as it strikes the knee, ribs, or face.  From the contact position of your left kick, execute a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 5 o’clock.
