TWISTED TWIG (Front: wrist lock)
1. With feet together and both hands of your opponent applying a wrist lock on your right wrist, step forward and to your left (to 11 o'clock) with your right foot into a right neutral bow to buckle the inside of your opponent's right knee with your right knee. Simultaneous with the action deliver a right upward elbow strike to your opponent's solar plexus and/or jaw. Your left hand is placed on top of your opponent's right wrist for the purposes of checking. (This action is to freeze your opponent's intended action.)
2. Pivot counterclockwise into a horse stance as you deliver a right back elbow strike to your opponent's solar plexus. (Your opponent should bend forward at the waist.)
3. Follow up with a right downward hammerfist to your opponent's groin as you pivot into a right reverse bow. Have your left hand check at shoulder height. (Your opponent should bend even further.)
4. Without disrupting the flow of your action, have your left hand form the shape of the crane as it hooks (clockwise) to the left side of your opponent’s neck. Without delay have your left hand pull your opponent’s head down while simultaneously executing a right vertical upward back knuckle strike to your opponent’s face. Both actions should cause a sandwiching effect.
5. Have your right hand match the action of your left hand by circling counterclockwise (forming the shape of the crane) to the right side of your opponent’s neck and head. Immediately pull your opponent’s head down with both of your hands as you deliver a right knee kick to your opponent’s head, again causing another sandwiching effect.
6. Immediately plant your right foot (from the position of your right knee kick) straight down so that it is almost in line with your left foot. Without hesitation, step back toward 6 o’clock, (this is a front to back switch) with your left foot as you simultaneously have both of your arms pull and flip your opponent over and onto his back. The left step back, pull, and flip are to be done as one movement (residual use of Body Momentum). Your opponent’s feet should be pointed toward 12 o’clock with his head toward 6 o’clock.
7. With your opponent now on his back (with his head closest to you), leap counterclockwise into the air, drop down into a left close kneel stance as your right knee crosses and strikes your opponent’s right collar bone and throat. Simultaneous with the drop, execute a right inward downward raking back knuckle slice across the bridge of your opponent’s nose (traveling overhead, down, and toward you). Have your left hand positionally check low.
8. Immediately leap clockwise into the air, drop down into a right close kneel stance as your left knee crosses and strikes your opponent’s left collar bone and throat. Simultaneous with the drop, execute a left downward two-knuckle punch to your opponent’s face.
9. Again leap counterclockwise into the air and land on your left foot toward 6 o’clock while simultaneously executing a right inward downward looping roundhouse kick to your opponent’s sternum. (This kick is identical to that contained in the “Leap of Death”.)
10. Form its point of impact, have your right foot execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward *7:30
