REVERSING MACE (Front: Left step thorough straight punch)
1. From a right neutral bow, slide your left foot counterclockwise toward 4:30 while remaining in a right neutral bow. Execute a right inward and left outward parry combination to the outside of your opponent's left punch. Your left hand finishes palm up and on top of your opponent's left arm (like a waiter carrying a tray at or above his left elbow). Without any loss of motion, your right inward parry continues to circle counterclockwise and becomes a right outward back knuckle strike to your opponent's left lower ribcage. (This should cause your opponent to bend forward at the waist.)
2. Immediately shift your weight onto your left leg and deliver a right looping inward downward roundhouse kick to the back of your opponent's left knee, complementing the angle of your opponent's left thigh during the course of this action. This kick is executed, with the instep of your right foot. (Make sure that your right ankle is locked straight out upon impact). (This move should buckle your opponent's left knee toward the ground.)
3. From the position of your right kick, plant your right foot toward 12 o’clock (so that you end up behind your opponent) and immediately drag your left foot toward your right foot as the momentum of this action assists your delivery of a right knife-edge kick (toward 10:30) to the inside of your opponent’s right knee. This action, that takes place from the back of your opponent, should buckle your opponent’s right knee from inside out, thus forcing him onto his right knee (or on to both knees).
4. With your opponent slightly bent back and on his right knee (or both), plant your right foot (from the Point of Contact of your right kick) toward 10:30 and quickly execute a left rear crossover simultaneous with a right inward overhead hammerfist strike traveling over your opponent’s left shoulder and to his sternum (assuming your opponent is still on his knee, or knees). Have your left hand check your opponent’s left arm and shoulder during this maneuver.
5. From your twist stance, pivot counterclockwise turning 360 degrees and execute a left outward back knuckle strike to the right mastoid of your opponent, as you settle into a left neutral bow stance. You may need to adjust the position of your right foot (between 12 o’clock and 11 o’clock) at the conclusion of your turn to gauge your distance, angle, and direction just prior to your left strike to his mastoid, and you settle into your left neutral bow stance.
6. Shuffle forward toward 6 o’clock and immediately pivot into a left forward bow as your left hand checks your opponent’s shoulder blades and your right hand simultaneously delivers a right thrusting vertical punch to your opponent’s upper spine. When executing this punch emphasize the penetrating force of your first two knuckles. (Your opponent should still be on his knee, or knees, at this point).
7. Immediately follow up with a right knee kick to your opponent’s lower spine.
8. From the position of your right knee kick, execute a right stomp to your opponent’s left ankle.
9. From the position of your right stomp have your right foot slide to the ground (on the inside of your opponent’s left ankle). Proceed into a left front crossover, cover out twice toward 12 o’clock.
