Heavenly Ascent (Front: Two-hand choke, arms straight)
1. While Standing Naturally, with your opponent applying a two-hand choke from the front, step forward with your right foot toward 12 o’clock (inside your opponent’s right knee) as you clasp both of your hands together and execute two upward forearm strike (which act as a wedge) to the inside of your opponent’s forearms to break the choke.
2. Pivot slightly to your left (into a right fighting horse) and execute, a right upward elbow strike to your opponent’s chin (hands still clasped). (Your opponent’s head should snap back.)
3. As you commence to pivot clockwise into a right neutral bow, release your clasp and deliver a right downward back knuckle strike to your opponent’s nose and face. Instantly follow with a left heel palm claw strike to your opponent’s nose and face at the precise moment you settle into a right forward bow stance. (This should daze your opponent.)
4. As you pivot back into a right neutral bow, deliver a right half-fist uppercut strike to your opponent’s throat. While striking, simultaneously have your left hand slide down your opponent’s right arm, grabbing your opponent’s right wrist and pulling it past your left ribcage. Your pull and strike working in opposition to each other should enhance the effectiveness of your strike. (Your opponent should feel nauseous.)
5. Immediately step back with your right foot toward six o’clock into a left neutral bow as both of your hands slide (tracks) down your opponent’s arms and grabs both wrists. Your left hand grabs his right wrist and your right hand his left wrist. Once securing both grabs, pull down on your opponent’s wrists as you force him to bend over and toward you.
6. Without delay, while still holding your opponent’s wrists, execute a left front ball kick to your opponent’s groin, followed by a right front ball kick to his solar plexus or sternum. (The delivery is similar to that of a chicken kick.)
7. As you plant your right foot forward (from its last contact position) execute a right stiff arm lifting back knuckle strike to and through the underside of your opponent’s chin while still grabbing your opponent’s left hand. Reverse your motion and deliver a right downward vertical back knuckle strike (returning on the same path) to the bridge of his nose. Immediately follow up your figure 8 pattern by first executing a right inside diagonal downward hammerfist strike to his left jaw as you then flow into a left rear crossover toward 1:30 while executing a right outward downward diagonal back knuckle strike to and through your opponent’s right jaw. (These moves are similar to those found in “Thrusting Lance”.)
8. While sliding your left foot toward 1:30 release your left hand, rotate it counterclockwise, and execute a left upward claw to his face. Have your right hand also circle counterclockwise during the same time period as it sweeps and checks prior to execution. As you settle into a right reverse bow, buckle the inside of his left knee while executing a right inward downward diagonal heel palm claw to and through his face. Follow through with your right hand as the same heel palm claw strikes down to your opponent’s groin.
9. Grab your opponent’s testicles with your right hand (assuming he is a male) and as you execute a right front crossover pull on them. Continue to cover out twice toward 7 o’clock.
