Escape from Death (Right: Rear-arm choke)
1. With a choke being applied from the rear, immediately step to your right (toward 3 o’clock) with your right foot into a horse stance (facing 12 o’clock). As you drop into your stance, turn your head to the left and tuck your chin against your chest. During this action have your right hand simultaneously grab and pull down on your opponent’s right wrist, utilizing an anchored elbow). Along with these defensive safeguards, deliver a left back elbow strike to your opponent’s solar plexus. Follow up with a left back hammerfist to your opponent’s groin. (Your opponent should loosen his grip.)
2. Circle your left leg around and back of your opponent’s right leg (Cat Around) toward 7:30 as you drop into a left close kneel stance (checking your opponent’s right leg with your left knee). Simultaneous with this action deliver a right hammerfist strike to your opponent’s groin and a left hammerfist strike to your opponent’s left kidney. (Your opponent should begin to fall toward the ground.)
3. Circle your left hand over your opponent’s right shoulder and have the fingers of your left hand press under your opponent’s nose (or depending on the circumstances, have your left hand grab your opponent’s hair) to Fulcrum his head back, using his shoulder as the fulcrum point.
4. Immediately pivot into a left forward bow (facing 7:30) to take advantage of your Rotational Force. In the process thrust a right heel palm strike to your opponent’s chin. Simultaneously execute a left sliding check down your opponent’s right arm, ending at the elbow. (Make sure that the head of your opponent in either of the above cases is arched and forced back to minimize your opponent’s leverage.)
5. Shoot a right knee strike to the outside of your opponent’s right thigh. (Your opponent should fall to the ground.)
6. From the contact position of your right knee strike, have your right foot plant toward 1:30 (gauging your distance accordingly - Gauging Leg) and execute a left knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponent’s left knee. (This should buckle him from the inside out and briefly cause his head to move toward you). Have your right hand check low and your left hand checked to the right of your face.
7. Immediately plant your left foot toward 2 o’clock into a right front twist stance while executing a left outward heel palm claw to the left side of your opponent’s face as you further force his head toward you.
8. Pivot counterclockwise into a right neutral bow as you execute a right inward hammerfist strike to the left side of your opponent’s jaw. (Properly executed, both left and right strikes will force your opponent’s body to rotate 190 degrees, thus steering your opponent to expose his back toward you.) With the assistance of your right hand hooking to the left, as well as the front, of his face, and your left hand pushing against his left shoulder, force your opponent to arch his back toward you. As you force your opponent to assume this postural position execute a right knee strike to the back of his head, or neck, while being constantly assisted by both of your hands.
9. From the contact position of your right knee strike, immediately execute a right stomp to the opponent’s right ankle or foot.
10. Execute a right for a crossover, and cover out twice toward 2 o’clock.
