CAPTURED LEAVES     (Right flank: Finger lock)

1.  With the fingers of your right hand twisted by your opponent’s left hand from your right flank, raise your right hand high (towards 1:30) to relieve the pressure (have your left hand positionally check your opponent’s right hand and arm in the process), as you move your right foot slightly to your right (toward 1:30).

2.  While in-place, pivot counterclockwise into a horse stance (facing between 8 & 9 o’clock) and deliver a left back elbow strike (from the last checking position) to the back of your opponent’s left kidney.  (Your opponent is on the tips of his toes, and his body is turning clockwise to his right.)

3.  Immediately pivot clockwise into a right neutral bow stance, and deliver a right back elbow strike to the front of your opponent’s left ribcage as your left hand now grabs and controls your opponent’s left arm at the wrist.  (Your opponent should bend forward at the waist.)

4.  Immediately shoot your right foot back (toward 7:30) into a right reverse bow to buckle on the inside of your opponent’s left knee.  Continue to control your opponent’s left arm with your left hand.

5.  Execute a left front crossover toward 4:30 and immediately have your right foot step toward 1:30 (this may vary depending upon where your opponent’s right leg is positioned), so that it goes to and through your opponent’s right leg (from inside out) before ending in a right neutral bow.  This maneuver should buckle your opponent’s right leg (from inside out as well and from back to front) and force him onto his back.

6.  With your opponent now on his back, execute a left front crossover stomp kick toward 4:30 onto your opponent’s right knee.

7.  As you slide and plant your left foot to the inside of your opponent’s right knee, immediately execute a right side kick (using the right side of your heel) to your opponent’s groin.

8.  Plant your right foot alongside of your opponent’s right hip and immediately pivot counter clockwise 180 degrees as you deliver a left sliding knife-edge kick to the underside of your opponent’s jaw.

9.  As you slide and plant your left foot to the underside of your opponent’s right armpit, immediately execute a right sliding front crossover, so that your right foot sweeps and rakes across your opponent’s face.

10.  As you plant your right foot toward 5:30 cover out twice.
