STRIKING SERPENT'S HEAD (Front: Bear hug - arms free)
1. As you drop back with your right foot toward 6 o'clock into a left neutral bow (facing 12 o'clock), have your left hand hook around and back of your opponent's head so that your left inner knuckle strikes to your opponent's left temple or mastoid, while your right hand cocks into a half fist at chest level (palm up above your opponent's arms). (The outcome of this action should be that your opponent is dazed.)
2. Continue your action by having your left hand grab and pull your opponent's hair back (grab above the forehead), pivoting into a left forward bow (facing 12 o'clock) and executing a right snapping half fist (palm down) to your opponent's throat. Immediately return to your left neutral bow after the half fist strike. Have your left forearm act as a supporting brace when executing your right half fist to increase the effectiveness of your strike. This supporting brace contributes to the principle of sandwiching.
3. From your left neutral bow instantly have your left foot slide back into a left cat stance as your left hand claws vertically down across your opponent's face. The body momentum (Gravitational Marriage) obtained during your slight drop into your left cat stance should add to the effectiveness of your claw. Have your right hand check and cover in a neutral position.
4. Switch by shifting your left foot alongside of your right foot (to the left and parallel to your right foot) while grabbing your opponent's right wrist with your left hand and immediately step toward 11 o'clock with your right foot as you buckle the inside of your opponent's right knee, deliver a right inward horizontal elbow strike to his left ribcage, while you simultaneously settle into a right neutral bow. Your opponent at this point should begin to fall backwards. Maintain the grab with your left hand.
5. With your left hand still grabbing have your right foot circle (clockwise) around and back of your opponent's right foot to buckle the back of his right knee as your right hand contours clockwise, around, behind, and up your opponent's back concluding with a right arm hold to the left side of his neck using the back of his left shoulder as a fulcrum.
6. Immediately slide your left foot back and toward 4:30 as you drop down into a right wide kneel stance while pulling, forcing, and guiding your opponent's spine down, and onto your right knee.
7. Release your left hand grab and have it shift to your opponent's chest to pin and check his action. Simultaneously have your right arm slide counterclockwise under your opponent's back, circle overhead (to your right), and convert into a right inward overhead hammerfist strike to his heart with your right knee acting as a supporting brace. Your opponent's head should be pointed in the direction of 9:30.
8. Execute a left downward thrusting heel palm strike to the right side of your opponent's ribs as you push him forward, while simultaneously sliding your right foot back and toward you to form a right cat stance. When done correctly, this action should leave instant space under your opponent so that the ground assists you in injuring him further.
9. With your opponent now on the ground, on his back and face up, immediately execute a right downward looping roundhouse kick to his face.
10. From the position of your right kick proceed into a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 4:30.
