TRIGGERED SALUTE     (Front: Right hand direct push)

1.  While Standing Naturally, your opponent pushes your left shoulder with his right hand.  Immediately and simultaneously turn your left shoulder counterclockwise and ride your opponent's right push as you step forward with your right foot into a right neutral bow (between 11:00 and 12 :00), buckle the inside of your opponent's right knee with your right knee, thrust a right heel palm strike to your opponent's chin, as you have your left hand pin and check your opponent's right hand to your chest.  (Your opponent's head should snap back and away from you.)

2.  Forecasting the response of your opponent's upper body, frictionally slide your right hand down your opponent's right arm (Frictional Pull) while forming the shape of the crane (making sure to anchor your elbow), hook your opponent's right arm down and toward 5:30; Round the Corner with your right arm as you unhesitatingly deliver a right inward horizontal elbow strike to your opponent's solar plexus.  (The Frictional Pull will bring your opponent's upper body forward and diagonally to his right.  The force of your elbow strike should make him bend forward at the waist.)

3.  After following through with your right inward elbow strike, deliver a right outward horizontal elbow strike to your opponent's right floating ribs.  (This should cause your opponent to bend even further.)

4.  Using Residual Torque , follow-up with a right outward horizontal back knuckle strike to your opponent's right floating ribs or kidney and immediately cock your right fist to your right hip.  (Your repeated follow-up should magnifying the damage to his ribs.)

5.  Without any loss of motion thrust a right vertical back knuckle strike (right fist is inverted and horizontal) up and under your opponent's chin while your left hand continues to pin your opponent's right hand against your left shoulder.  (This Contouring Fit should drive your opponent's head back.)

6.  Immediately shift into a left rear crossover (toward 1:30) as you release your pinning left hand and convert it into a left inward diagonal five-finger claw to the right side of your opponent’s face, while executing a right back elbow strike (palm up) to your opponent’s solar plexus.  Have your left hand, as it passes through your opponent’s face, then guard your own face.  Have your right forearm flow into a sweeping check prior to your right elbow striking your opponent’s solar plexus.

7.  Without disturbing the flow of your momentum, have your right foot step inside of your opponent’s left leg toward 1:30 (with the knee slightly bent), convert your right leg into a right reverse bow as it buckles your opponent’s left knee from inside out, while executing a right downward hammerfist or heel palm strike to your opponent’s groin.  Continue to guard your face with your left hand.

8.  Without delay execute a right knee kick to your opponent’s right inner knee to buckle it out as well as to render pain.

9.  From the Point of Contact, of your knee kick, proceed into a right front crossover, and cover out twice in the direction of 7:30.
