Cross of Death      (Front: Two-hand cross choke)

1.  With your opponent cross choking you (with his left hand over his right) have your right foot step forward into a right neutral bow (facing 12 o’clock), buckling the inside of your opponent’s right knee with your right knee.  In the process have your left hand pin your opponent’s hands to your chest (making sure that greater pressure is on his left hand).  Simultaneously deliver a right glancing inward vertical forearm strike against your opponent’s left elbow to break it.  Continue this action and end with a right vertical punch to your opponent’s face.  (Your opponent’s head should snap back.)

2.  Immediately pivot into a right forward bow as you deliver a left uppercut punch to your opponent’s stomach while your right arm horizontally checks both arms of your opponent.  (Your opponent should vend forward at the waist.)

3.  As your left foot slides toward 4:30, commence with a left extended outward hooking parry to the outside of your opponent’s left elbow.  Follow up with a right chopping punch to your opponent’s left kidney as your left foot plants and your body settles into a right neutral bow (facing 10:30).

4.  Adjust the orbit of your right arm by delivering a right vertical back knuckle thrust to your opponent’s left temple.  Your left hand continues to check your opponent’s arms.  (Again your opponent’s head should snap back.)

5.  Immediately execute a right roundhouse kick to and through your opponents left knee, and from the Chambered Position of your right kick deliver a right outward horizontal hooking heel kick to the inside of his left knee.

6.  Quickly plant your right foot in front of you, drag your left foot toward your right foot (gauging the distance accordingly - Gauging Leg) and execute a right front snapping ball kick to the inside of your opponent’s right knee (to further spread his legs).

7.  With both of your hands positionally checking plant your right foot in front of you and execute a left rear crossover stomp (with the ball of your foot) to your opponents left foot as you simultaneously deliver the right outward heel palm strike to your opponent’s right jaw.  Have your left hand check off of your right rib cage.

8.  Step toward 7 o’clock with your left foot as you then turn clockwise into a right neutral bow facing your opponent.  From the contact position of your right hand, execute a five-finger claw down on your opponent’s face.

9.  Execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 7:30.
