SHIELDING HAMMER (Front: Left step through hooking punch)
1. While Standing Naturally, step back with your left foot toward 6 o'clock into a right neutral bow (facing 12 o'clock) as you deliver a right extended outward block to the inside of your opponent's left forearm. Your left hand should be in a Positional Check off of your right rib cage.
2. Immediately deliver a right inward raking back knuckle strike diagonally in and down across the bridge of your opponent's nose (striking toward 10:30 to insure Depth of Penetration). (This action should turn your opponent's head clockwise or to his right.)
3. Shuffle forward while continuing the counter clockwise motion with your right hand and follow-up with a right horizontal dipping outward elbow strike to your opponent's solar plexus. Your left hand should be checking high. (This should cause your opponent to lose his breath and bend forward at the waist.)
4. Without delay left front crossover toward 12 o’clock (into a left front twist stance) as you execute a left vertical punch to your opponent’s sternum, simultaneous with a right downward hammerfist to his groin.
5. Immediately pivot clockwise out of your left front twist stance, as you execute a right upward (obscure) elbow strike to your opponent’s jaw while cocking your left hand palm up (in anticipation of the next move) replaced by a right vertical upward heel palm strike to your opponent’s jaw, succeeded by a right vertical upward five-finger ripping claw to your opponent’s face and concluding with a left downward torquing heel palm strike (heel of palm out, fingers in) to your opponent’s solar plexus, or sternum, at the precise moment you settle into a left neutral bow stance. This should drive your opponent back.
6. Without disrupting your flow of action, pivot clockwise (180 degrees) as you execute a right spinning back heel kick to your opponent’s groin.
7. Plant your right foot toward 12 o’clock, gauging your distance in the process, and execute a left back thrusting heel kick to your opponent's sternum.
8. From the position of you left kick proceed into a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 6 o’clock.
