EVADING THE STORM       (Front: Right step through overhead club)

1.  While Standing Naturally, have your left foot move toward 9:00 into a left forward bow, as you execute a right extended block (and handsword) to the outside of your opponent’s right arm.  (Your are getting out of the Line of Attack while redirecting the path of your opponent’s club.) Have your left hand positionally check close to your left ribcage prior to it being used as a follow-up.

2.  Immediately grab your opponent’s right wrist with your right hand, and deliver a right roundhouse kick to your opponent’s groin.  (As your opponent bends forward at the waist, his right kidney should jut forward.)

3.  Drop into a right forward bow toward 1:30 as your thrust a left (clenched) horizontal punch to your opponent’s right kidney while having your right hand pull your opponent’s right arm down and past your right hip.  (Your opponent’s body should come forward.  Head snap back as his knees begin to buckle.)

4.  Deliver a left knee strike to the outside of your opponent’s right thigh.  (The force of your knee strike should buckle your opponent’s right knee further, with the possibility of driving your opponent back.)

5.  Plant your left foot forward (acting a as gauging leg) while delivering a right roundhouse knee strike to the inside of your opponent’s right thigh to cause a “Charlie Horse”, and immobilize his leg.

6.  From the contact point of your right knee strike, plant your right foot back toward 4:30 and immediately execute a left knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponent’s left knee to cause a buckle.  Your right hand continues the grab on your opponent’s right wrist.

7.  From the contact point of your left kick plant your left foot toward 4:30 into a right rear twist, facing 10:30, while executing a left forearm strike (coordinated with your right hand pulling your opponent’s right wrist toward you) to the back/top of your opponent’s right elbow to break it.

8.  Have both of your hands grab your opponent’s right hand prior to snapping and breaking his wrist.  This is done by placing your left thumb on the back of your opponent’s right hand with your left palm on the inside of your opponent’s palm.  Your right hand duplicates this grab to the other half of your opponent’s right hand.  Immediately have your right foot step out toward 4:30 into a left neutral bow, facing your opponent to further disturb your opponent’s balance, and hyperextend his arm.  Without loss of momentum, have your left foot step back toward 6 o’clock into a right neutral bow.  During this action your right and left hand pins your opponent’s right hand against your right hip, turn and twist counterclockwise with the left foot maneuver, snap and break your opponent’s wrist, as well as force him onto his back.

9.  Without disrupting your momentum and flow of action execute a right downward looping roundhouse kick to your opponent’s face at the exact moment his back hits the ground.  (The ground, in this case, enhances your sandwiching effect.)

10.  From the contact point of your right kick execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 4:30.
