Obscure Claws (Right flank: Left hand shoulder grab)
1. While Standing Naturally, and with your opponent applying a left hand grab to your right shoulder, step back with your right foot toward 6 o’clock (passing on the outside of your opponent’s left leg) into a left neutral bow (facing 12o’clock) as your right hand circles clockwise and claws (in and outward and upward manner) to your opponent’s face. Follow up immediately with a left inward claw to your opponent’s face. (Your opponent’s head snaps back.) Continue the motion of your left hand to pin your opponent’s left hand to your right shoulder.
2. Without hesitation, step forward with your right foot toward 12 o’clock into a right neutral bow as you deliver a right uppercut forearm strike against the elbow joint of your opponent’s left arm. Your left hand continues to check.
3. Step forward toward 12 o’clock with your left foot into a transitional left neutral bow and immediately pivot to your right into a right forward bow (facing 4:30) as your right hand reverses its motion, and circles toward you as a right looping back knuckle strike to your opponent’s right mastoid. Simultaneously deliver a left inward horizontal heel palm thrust (with fingers pointing away from you) to your opponent’s solar plexus. (Your opponent should bend forward at the waist.)
4. After following through with your right hand, reverse its motion and snap a right outward inverted middle-knuckle fist to your opponent’s sternum as you pivot counterclockwise into a right neutral bow.
5. Rotate clockwise into a right front twist stance, as you simultaneously execute a right outward heel palm claw to your opponent’s face followed by a left heel palm claw to the right side of his face.
6. Immediately pivot counterclockwise into a right neutral bow as you execute a right inward heel palm claw to the left side of his face. As you continue the momentum of your counterclockwise maneuver execute a right thrusting knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponents right knee.
7. From the contact position of your right kick, execute a right front crossover into a right front twist stance. Immediately pivot counterclockwise 180 degrees (checking low with your left hand and high with your right hand) and execute a right roundhouse kick to your opponents left kidney.
8. From the contact position of your right roundhouse kick execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 10:30.
