GIFT OF DESTRUCTION     (Front: Handshake)

1.  With your right hand shaking your opponent's right hand, hop forward and slightly to your left to 11 o'clock, with your left foot, as your right hand Jerks (taking advantage of your opponent's dead weight to launch you forward) your opponent's right hand toward, and diagonally down past your right hip.  This action is aided by rotating your right arm clockwise so that the palm of your right hand faces up.  This should aid you in properly exposing the joint of your opponent's right arm. 

2.  With the above action, simultaneously strike in and against the joint your opponent's right elbow with your left heel palm, as you deliver a right knee kick to your opponent's groin.  (This dual action should check your opponent's Height Zones and Width Zones, as well as force him to bend forward at the waist.)

3.  Plant your right foot forward into a right neutral bow, simultaneously buckle the inside of your opponent's right knee with your right knee, deliver a right inward elbow strike to the left side of your opponent's jaw, as your left hand checks down and on top of your opponent's right arm.  (This action should cause your opponent's head to move back and away from you.)

4.  Immediately slide your left foot counterclockwise (up the circle) toward 4:30 (into a right neutral bow) as you grab your opponent’s right shoulder with your right hand to pull your opponent down and toward you.  Simultaneously, and as part of the continuous flow of your left hand, execute a left inward heel palm five-finger claw to the right side of your opponent’s face.  (Because of the difference of distance of travel, your right hand shoulder grab should slightly precede the left heel palm claw strike.) When properly executed the Body Momentum of your left foot sliding up the circle should add to the force of your left heel palm strike and claw.  As part of the continuous flow of action have your right hand release its grab and positionally check low (in the vicinity of your navel).

5.  Without hesitation, pivot into a right forward bow as you execute a right outward raking back knuckle strike to the right side of the bridge of your opponent’s nose to break it.  As part of the continuous flow of action simultaneously thrust a left outward heel palm down on top of your opponent’s left hip.

6.  Immediately reverse the motion of your right hand and execute a right inward downward hammerfist strike to your opponent’s left jaw hinge in order to break or dislocate it.

7.  As you continue the flow of your right hammerfist strike (and without loss of Body Momentum), have your left foot shift a little to your right into a side horse stance, settle your weight, while simultaneously delivering a right (slightly looping) downward hammerfist strike (with your right elbow anchored) to your opponent’s upper abdominal region.  Have your left hand switch and positionally check in front of your right chest.  (This strike should interrupt his breathing.)

8.  Execute a left front crossover toward 10:30, and during your transitional left front twist stance deliver a left thrusting vertical punch to the left side of your opponent’s head.  During this action have your right arm check horizontally in front of you to cancel your opponent’s arms.

9.  Thread a right knee kick to the inside of your opponent’s right knee.

10.  From the Point of Contact (of your right knee kick) diversify your Angle of Attack by dropping your right foot toward 1:30 into a right reverse bow to buckle the inside of your opponent’s left knee.  Simultaneous with this action deliver a left inward horizontal heel palm claw to the right side of your opponent’s face, and a right downward heel palm to his groin.

11.  From the Point of Contact (of your buckle) execute a right front crossover and cover out twice in the direction of 7:30.
