Crossing Talon      (Front: Right cross wrist grab)

1.  With your opponent's right hand grabbing your right wrist, countergrab his right wrist with your right hand as your left foot steps toward 1:30 (traveling in front of your opponent) into a left neutral bow, as you strike your opponent's right elbow with a left inward vertical forearm, while your right hand pulls in, toward, and past your right hip.  (The effect of this action is to sprain, or break, your opponent's right elbow, and force him to bend over, which automatically checks his Height Zones.)

2.  Continue to pull your opponent's arm to your right (in a dipping manner) while using your left forearm to force your opponent's head down with the possibility of your opponent's head striking your left knee. 

3.  Immediately deliver a left outward elbow strike (palm up, or down, depending on circumstances) to your opponent's right jaw hinge or temple.  (This action may cause your opponent to pass out and drop toward the ground.)

4.  Immediately follow-up with a left heel palm strike and five-finger rip to your opponent's face while using your opponent's shoulder and back as a fulcrum to leverage, contour check, and enhance your action.  Continue the clockwise rotation of your left elbow and execute a left inward overhead downward elbow strike to the upper spine of your opponent.  (This action should cause your opponent's body to stoop toward the ground.)

5. Follow up with a left downward heel palm strike to the back of your opponent's left mastoid.  As your left hand continues to push your opponent's head down, simultaneously deliver a right knee strike to your opponent's face, thus causing a sandwiching effect.  (Your opponent should fall to the ground.)

6.  Replant your right foot to its Point of Origin as you have your left hand slide down your opponent's right arm, grab the back of your opponent's right hand (your left hand should grab, palm down, with your left thumb closest to you), while you simultaneously have your right hand also grab the back of your opponent's right hand.  (Your right hand should match your left hand only to the opposite side of your opponent's right hand.)

7.  Immediately have your left foot step back (traveling in a tight clockwise circle) toward 6 o'clock as you pin your opponent's right hand to your right hip with both of your hands, and quickly pivot counterclockwise, while vigorously twisting both of your hands to snap (break) your opponent's wrist.  To insure the desired effect keep your opponent's right hand against your right hip when applying the snap (break).  Simultaneous with the wrist snap (break), execute a right roundhouse kick to your opponent's solar plexus, or face, and force your opponent to the ground, face up, while still maintaining both wrist grabs.  (Maintain constant pressure on your opponent's right wrist as you plant your right foot, as a gauging leg, alongside the right ribcage of your opponent.)

8.  With your opponent now on his back shift your right hand under (reverse it counterclockwise and palm up) your opponent's right wrist and grab.  Have your left hand assist the grab of your right hand grab.  Once both grabs are secure twist your opponent's hand and arm clockwise.  This is done while simultaneously pivoting clockwise into a left reverse bow while both hands continue grabbing.

9.  Without delay cock your left leg and deliver a left thrusting knife-edge kick to the right side of your opponent's neck as both of your hands pull up and toward you to cause a possible shoulder dislocation.  Release your opponent's right hand, letting it drop.

10.  From the Point of Contact of your left kick execute a left front crossover sweep of your opponent's right arm, and continue out with a double cover out in the direction of 7:30.
