1.  While Standing Naturally, facing 12 o’clock, step forward and to your right toward 1:30 with your right foot as your execute a double parry (left inward parry to the outside of your opponent’s right wrist, followed by a right outward parry to the outside of your opponent’s right elbow).

2.  Step toward 1:30 with your left foot as your right hand grabs your opponent’s right shoulder (while employing a rolling check in the process).  Pivot clockwise and have your left hand grab the back of your opponent’s left shoulder.

3.  Without hesitation step back toward 1:30 with your right foot into a left neutral bow as both of your arms pull your opponent’s shoulders back and toward you, thus disturbing his balance.  Immediately deliver a right knee kick to your opponent’s lower spine while simultaneously pulling with both of your hands so that your elbows rest against your ribcage.

4.  Drop your right foot back toward 1:30 into a left neutral bow and increase your two-hand pull to force your opponent onto your left knee (with your hands ending at the level of your hips), striking his upper spine (with your left knee).

5.  Grab your opponent’s chin with your right hand as your left hand moves to the right side of your opponent’s head (the fingers of your left hand point to your left).  Immediately twist your opponent’s head clockwise (breaking your opponent’s neck).

6.  Reverse the motion of your right hand as you execute a right inward downward handsword to the bridge of your opponent’s nose.  (Counter Balance this action by having your left hand apply a sliding check to your opponent’s right shoulder.)

7.  While still in-place deliver two downward back knuckle strikes to the left and right humerus of the shoulder of your opponent (right to right and left to left).  Your right hand travels counterclockwise striking from the outside in.  Your left hand travels clockwise and also strikes from the outside in.

8.  As soon as you feel the positive results of the above SANDWICH step back with your left foot, toward 1:30 into a right close kneel stance as you execute two heel palm claws to your opponent’s face.  Your opponent’s head and back should hit the ground forcefully.

9.  Pivot (counterclockwise) into a right reverse close kneel stance.  Utilize this momentum in striking your opponent’s right jaw hinge with the right side of the heel of your right foot.

10.  Follow up with a right back heel stomp to the nerve of your opponent’s right shoulder.  (This is accomplished without lifting your right foot from the ground.)

11.  Slide your right foot slightly to the right (for proper alignment) of your left foot, and execute a left reverse inward looping hooking heel kick to and through the right side of your opponent’s face.  Immediately have your left foot plant into a reverse heel stomp on top of your opponent’s left collarbone.  (During all of the above you’re still facing 2:30.

12.  Pivot counterclockwise into a left neutral bow stance (facing your opponent) and immediately execute a low right front shovel kick to and through your opponent’s left jaw.  As your right foot follows through, drop down into a right front rotating twist stance, with your left knee dropping onto your opponent’s left rib cage.  (You are facing 10 o’clock at this point).

13.  Using your opponent’s body as a springboard, from the above action, bounce up into the air and pivot counterclockwise as your left foot then lands were your right foot was (in-place change—back to front).  Drop, using Marriage of Gravity, as you execute a right inward looping downward roundhouse kick to your opponent’s groin.  (Facing 2 o’clock)

14.  Leap up again, turning clockwise in the air, and as you land on your right foot execute a left looping downward roundhouse kick to the right kneecap, or right inner thigh, of your opponent (facing 12 o’clock).

15.  From the contact position of your left kick, execute a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 12 o’clock, landing on your left foot in a one legged stance, with your left hand covering high and your right hand covering low .  You are now looking toward six o’clock.
