GRIP OF DEATH (Left flank: Right arm headlock)
1. With your opponent applying a headlock from your left side, step forward and to your left (to 10:30) with your right foot into a right close kneel stance (checking the outside of your opponent's right knee with your left knee), while turning your head to the left and tucking your chin against your chest. Simultaneously deliver a right hammerfist to your opponent's groin and a left hammerfist to your opponent's left kidney. (This action should buckle your opponent.)
2. Immediately circle your left arm over your opponent's right shoulder, have the fingers of your left hand press under your opponent's nose (or depending upon the circumstances, have your left hand grab your opponent's hair) and vigorously force your opponent's head back, using the top and back of his shoulder as a fulcrum. (This should cause sharp pain to his philtrum, as you also cancel his Height Zones.)
3. Without delay pivot into a left forward bow toward 6 o'clock and while taking advantage of your Rotational Force deliver a right heel palm strike to your opponent's chin while executing a left sliding check down your opponent's right arm, ending at the elbow. (Make sure that the head of your opponent, in either of the above cases, is arched, forced back and pressed down to minimize your opponent's leverage and to control his Height Zones.
4. With your left foot positioned back and slightly to the right of your opponent's right leg, execute a left front crossover sweep (toward 10:30) against your opponent's right foot. Follow through with your left sweep so that it settles into a left front twist stance (toward 10:30). This action should force your opponent's right foot forward (toward 10:30), spread his legs, and disturb his balance. At this point his right leg has become his lead leg with his left leg situated to the rear. Your left hand still maintains a pinning check against your opponent's right arm as your right hand positionally checks to the left of your face
5. With you now basically positioned behind your opponent, have your right foot shift very slightly (clockwise) toward 6 o'clock. This is just a short step (while still remaining in your left front twist stance) to help you align yourself for the next move. Immediately shoot your left foot back toward 7:30 into a left reverse bow to outwardly buckle your opponent's left inner knee. Have both hands and arms checking your opponent's back, left hand low and right hand high.
6. From your left reverse bow execute a left snapping knife-edge kick to the back of your opponent's right knee. This should bring him onto his knees. Continue checking with your hands.
7. From the position of your left kick execute a left front crossover toward 4:30 and momentarily settle into a right rear twist stance.
8. Immediately pivot clockwise and execute a right spinning back heel kick to your opponent's upper spine. (Type of kick or target selection can alter depending upon circumstances.)
9. From the position of your right kick execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 4:30.
