GIFT IN RETURN     (Front: Hand shake)

1.  With your feet together and your opponent squeezing your right hand with his right hand, step forward and to your left (toward 11 o’clock) with your left foot into a left neutral bow to the outside of your opponent’s right leg.  (Your left leg should be hugging and checking your opponent’s right leg Hugging Check.) Simultaneously have your left hand assist your right hand, to strike to your opponent’s groin by thrusting down on your opponent’s right forearm.  (Your opponent will bend forward at the waist.)

2.  Shift your left hand around and back of your opponent’s right leg, and grab your opponent’s right wrist, as your right foot shifts clockwise toward 10:30 into a left neutral bow (facing 4:30).  Immediately pull and lift with your left hand as your push down against your opponent’s right hip with your right hand.  This is done to put pressure on your opponent’s testicles, limit your opponent’s leverage, and check his Height Zones to nullify his ability to kick.  (This will lift your opponent onto the tips of his toes.)

3.  Immediately deliver a right step through knife-edge kick to the back of your opponent’s left knee, as you release your left hand grasp, and while maintaining the check with your right hand.  (This will buckle your opponent’s left leg to the ground, and expose his tail bone.)

4.  Without any hesitation plant your right foot between your opponent’s legs (making sure that you gauge it properly), and deliver a left knee strike to your opponent’s tailbone.  (This will drive your opponent forward and away from you.)

5.  From the Point of Contact of your left knee strike execute a left thrusting knife-edge kick (pivoting clockwise during the action) to the back of your opponent’s right knee.

6.  From the contact point of your left knife-edge kick execute a left front crossover (gauging the proper distance - Gauging Leg) toward 10:30 and immediately pivot clockwise into a right spinning stiff-leg back kick toward 4:30 to your opponent’s groin from the rear.

7.  Gauge your distance as you plant your right foot forward toward 4:30 (with your back toward your opponent) and immediately (using Marriage of Gravity) execute a left rear crossover toward six o’clock while delivering a right outward back knuckle strike (from left to right) to the back of your opponent’s left kidney (whose back is facing you).  Have your left hand positionally check during this maneuver.

8.  While remaining in-place pivot counterclockwise into a left neutral bow (facing 4:30) as you execute a left outward back knuckle strike to your opponent’s right kidney (into the same manner, but to the opposite side).  Without disturbing the flow of motion have your right foot step through toward 4:30, drop into a right wide kneel to the back of your opponent’s neck.

9.  Immediately execute a right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 1:30.
