Leap from Danger      (Rear: Two-hand push)

1.  As your opponent pushes you from the rear, take a forward roll on your right shoulder toward 12 o’clock and leap up facing your opponent at 6 o’clock while shuffling back into a left neutral bow. 

2.  As your opponent proceeds to attack you with a right punch, leap to your left toward 4:30 with your left foot and deliver a right roundhouse kick to your opponent’s solar plexus.  While leaping, your left hand should guard low as your right arm positions itself high (like an extended outward block).

3.  Plant your right foot toward 7:30 (Gauging Leg).  Pivot counterclockwise and deliver a left spinning back heel kick to your opponent’s right ribs (kicking toward 7:30).  During the kick check with your right hand over your left shoulder, as your left hand continues to check low behind you.

4.  From the contact position of your left kick, plant your left foot toward 7: 30 (gauging your leg accordingly - Gauging Leg) and as you rotate your body counterclockwise execute a right inward crescent kick to your opponent’s face.

5.  Plant your right foot in front of you (toward 7:30), but to the right of your opponent’s right foot.  Immediately drag your left foot toward your right foot (gauging the appropriate distance - Gauging Leg) and execute a right reverse hooking heel kick to (and through) the back of your opponent’s right knee to buckle him.

6.  While following through with the right hooking heel kick, have your right foot plant and bounce off the ground as it launches into a right roundhouse bounce kick to any available opening.

7.  From the contact point of your right roundhouse kick, execute the right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 1:30.
