THRUSTING PRONGS     (Front: Bear hug - arms pinned)

1.  Step back with your right foot toward 6 o'clock into a left forward bow (facing 12:00).  (You will probably modify it because of the pressure of the bear hug).  Have only your right foot move back and not the upper body.  Simultaneously thrust both of your thumbs (keeping thumbs together) up and to your opponent's groin.  (Your opponent should bend forward at the waist as will as move his feet back and away form you.)

2.  Now strike your opponent's groin with your right knee as your left hand circles over and on top of your opponent's right arm (forming the shape of the crane) and pins (with the assistance of your anchored left elbow) your opponent's right arm to you.  Simultaneous with the above two actions cock your right hand to your right hip as a clearing check of your opponent's left arm as well as in preparation for the next strike.  (This knee strike should magnify the damage to your opponent's groin.)

3.  With your right knee in his groin, immediately deliver a right knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponent's left shin.  (This action should force your opponent's left leg outward.)

4.  Scrape your opponent's shin with your right foot and convert the scrape into a right stomp to your opponent's left instep.  Simultaneously deliver a right inward horizontal elbow strike to the right side of your opponent's face or ribs, depending on the size of your opponent.  (This strike should drive your opponent's head up and away from you.)

5.  Immediately have your right foot slide toward 7:30 into a left neutral bow, facing 1:30 as your right hand hooks (forming the shape of the crane with your right elbow anchored) to the right side of your opponent’s neck and head to force his head down.  While simultaneously executing a left inward overhead handsword to the back of your opponent’s neck, at the precise moment your right hand clears his neck and acts as a Positional Check near your stomach.  The chop should force your opponent’s head down even further.

6.  As your left hand continues its downward journey on the back of your opponent’s neck, take advantage of Borrowed Force by simultaneously executing a right knee kick to your opponent's face.  During this action have your right hand cock just above your right ear (palm out).

7.  From the position of your right knee kick have your right foot plant directly under your opponent’s head into a right neutral bow, facing 1:30 (modifying the depth as necessary) as you simultaneously execute a right inward overhead handsword to the back of your opponent’s neck, using Gravitational Marriage to enhance your action.  During this action have your left hand check near your opponent’s right shoulder.

8.  Immediately pivot counterclockwise, into a right reverse close kneel stance, as you execute a right back heel scoop kick to your opponent’s left jaw hinge.  Have your right hand brace your opponent’s head to enhance the effectiveness of your right heel kick.

9.  From the contact point of your right scoop kick execute a right knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponent’s left knee to buckle his left leg from inside out.

10.  From the contact point of your right knife-edge kick execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 7:30.
