Securing the Storm      (Front: Right step through roundhouse club)

1.  While Standing Naturally, step to 12 o’clock with your left foot into a left neutral bow (finishing inside of your opponent’s right leg) as you deliver a left extended outward block to the inside of your opponent’s right wrist.  Simultaneously deliver a right vertical punch to your opponent’s face.  (Your opponent’s head should snap back.)

2.  Slide your right foot back (clockwise) toward 10:30 into a left neutral bow (facing 4:30) as you deliver a left uppercut forearm strike over and under your opponent’s right arm to break the elbow.  (This should thrust your opponent’s torso forward.)

3.  Shift your left foot back toward 11 o’clock, while still pinning your opponent’s right arm, and quickly circle your right foot clockwise so that it travels around, and back of, your opponent’s right leg.  As you continue to circle your right foot, immediately thrust it toward 6 o’clock into a left forward bow as you simultaneously thrust a right heel palm strike to your opponent’s jaw.  In the process your right leg will buckle your opponent’s right leg.  The two forces (the buckle and the heel palm strike) work together in forcing your opponent to the ground.  During this action your left hand grabs and slides along your opponent’s right arm, ending at the wrist the moment your opponent hits the ground.

4.  Have your right hand circle clockwise as it reaches around and grabs the far end of the club, to guarantee proper leverage when disarming it from your opponent’s grip.  Maintain the grab with your left hand.

5.  Holding the club with your right hand, and your opponent’s right wrist with your left, settle in-place as you jab the club down into your opponent solar plexus.

6.  Now snake the club clockwise and around your opponent’s right arm so that you place the downward end on the ground just above his left shoulder, and as you shuffle up (just a little) use your right knee to check his right arm, while your right hand forces the club up against his jaw in order to break his neck or jaw.  You now adjust your left foot up near the top of his head as you swing your right foot back toward 10:30, while switching hands on the club, keeping it across his throat, and now jerk back on the club with both hands to again attempting to break his jaw or neck.

7.  Maintain your grip on the club, with your left hand, and as you execute a left front crossover toward 7:30 (up the side of the circle) loop the club clockwise over and down to strike the right side of his head at the temple.

8.  From there, double cover out toward 9 o’clock.
