HOOKING WINGS     (Front: Two-hand low push)

1.  With your feet together, drop back with your left foot toward 6 o’clock into a right neutral bow (facing 12 o’clock), as you hook with both of your hands (shape of the crane) to the inside of your opponent’s wrists, jerking your opponent’s arms down, outside and past your hips.  (This will allow your opponent’s momentum to continue into you, but direct his weapons outside of your Outer Rim.)

2.  Slide your right foot back into a cat stance, and deliver a right front snapping ball kick to your opponent’s groin.  Be sure to utilize the Borrowed Force from his attempted push, as well as from your pulling action.  (This kick will bend your opponent forward at the waist and stop his Body Momentum.)

3.  Drop forward into a right neutral bow (facing 12 o’clock), while looping a right inward downward diagonal hammerfist strike to your opponent’s left jaw hinge.  Immediately (continuing with a figure 8 pattern) loop a right outward back knuckle strike to your opponent’s right jaw hinge, as your left hand checks at your solar plexus.  (These strikes should further disorient your opponent, and possibly drop him to the ground.)

4.  Shuffle forward (push-drag) as your follow up with a right upward elbow strike to your opponent’s chin, while your left hand continues to check.  (This will snap your opponent’s head back.)

5.  Immediately reverse your motion and execute a right downward heel palm-claw, first striking the bridge of the nose, and then clawing the eyes and face.  (This should break your opponent’s nose, obscure his vision, and force him to the ground.)

6.  With both your hands positionally checking, shift your left foot slightly (very small adjustment) toward 4:30 and execute a right hooking heel kick to the inside of your opponent’s left knee to buckle his leg out.  Follow through with your right hook kick and immediately reverse the motion by executing a right downward looping roundhouse ball kick to the outside, and back of, your opponent’s left knee.  This action should bend his knee further.

7.  As your right foot plants to its previous Point of Origin slightly rotate your body counterclockwise as it faces 4:30 and execute a right reverse hooking heel kick to the right side of your opponent’s face, or any available opening.  If you need to shuffle, prior to kicking, to properly gauge or distance, please feel free to do so.

8.  Plant your right foot toward 10:30 and bounce into a right back stiff-leg lifting bounce kick to your opponent’s groin while simultaneously executing a right back stiff-arm rising heel palm claw to his face.

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