OBSTRUCTING THE STORM (Front: Right step through overhead club)
1. With your feet together, have your left foot step slightly forward and to your left on a 45 degree angle (first moving toward 10:30, but ending facing 1:30 in a horse stance). Simultaneously cross your right wrist over your left wrist (upward cross block) to block your opponent’s attacking hand, at his right wrist, at a level above your head and off of your right shoulder. (This is to catch your opponent’s right arm while getting out of the Line of Attack.
2. Grab your opponent’s right wrist with your right hand as your left foot steps forward to 1:30 (“cat in and around” his right leg if necessary) into a left neutral bow. Simultaneously strike your opponent’s right elbow with your left forearm by first thrusting vertically and then rolling it horizontally forcing your opponent’s right arm down while your right hand pulls in, down, and past your right hip (rolling check). (This action should force your opponent’s head down with the possibility of having it strike your left knee.)
3. Immediately deliver a right snapping knee strike to your opponent’s head or chest. This is done without raising your body. (This action should drive your opponent away.)
4. Replant your right foot to its Point of Origin as you again form a left neutral bow, with your left hand positionally checking. Simultaneously have your right hand grab your opponent’s club at the free end and disarm him. Immediately execute a right upward strike to your opponent’s face with the opposite end of the club.
5. Step back with your left foot toward 7:30 and as you circle your club counterclockwise, execute a right outward downward club strike to the back of your opponent’s right elbow. Follow through with the action of your right club strike.
6. Immediately execute a right front crossover toward 9 o’clock into a left rear twist stance. Simultaneously have your right hand circle clockwise while delivering a right inward downward club strike to the front of your opponent’s right knee.
7. Have your left foot step out toward 10:30 into a transitional left neutral bow and immediately pivot clockwise into a right neutral bow, facing 4:30 as you execute a right outward downward club strike to the back of your opponent’s right knee.
8. Shuffle forward (push-drag) toward 4:30 as you execute a right underhand club strike (snapping your wrist to enhance your action) to the underside of your opponent’s groin (his back is facing you at this point).
9. Immediately go into a right front crossover toward 10:30 (into a left rear twist stance) as you execute (counterclockwise) a right looping outward downward club strike to the back of your opponent’s head. This action is done while utilizing Marriage of Gravity.
10. Left step through and cover out twice toward 11 o’clock.
