SHIELD AND SWORD (Front: Left step through punch)
1. Standing with your feet together, step forward and to your right (toward 1:30) with your right foot into a right forward bow, as your deliver a left extended outward block (use a handsword block) to the outside of your opponent’s left elbow. Have your right handsword cock beside your right ear, palm out. (This should cancel the width of your opponent’s action.)
2. Immediately pivot to your left (into a horse), as your strike with a right inward handsword to the back of your opponent’s neck (follow through with a chop so that it controls your opponent’s Height Zones, as your right forearm and elbow check your opponent’s left shoulder to minimize his leverage). Simultaneously have your left hand check your opponent’s left arm. (This should drive your opponent’s head and body down.)
3. Pivot into a right forward bow (facing 12 o’clock), as you deliver a left inward horizontal elbow strike to your opponent’s left lower ribcage, and have your right hand check (Bracing Angle Check) your opponent’s left arm at his elbow. (Your opponent will bend forward at the waist.)
4. Shift your left foot counterclockwise toward 4:30 into a right neutral bow, as your left hand hooks out and down (like a waiter carrying a tray) on top of your opponent’s left forearm. Simultaneously with this action, execute a right inward raking hammerfist strike to your opponent’s left kidney.
5. Immediately follow up with a right roundhouse kick to your opponent’s right kidney. (This should drive your opponent to his knees.)
6. From the contact point of your right roundhouse kick, have your right foot gently touch the ground as you vigorously slide your left foot toward 3 o’clock (to position you behind your opponent as well as give you a better Angle of Execution), which then triggers you into executing a right knife-edge kick to the back of your opponent’s right knee. This is an example of residual action whereby Body Momentum is kept at a constant flow.
7. Plant, adjust, and position your right foot (for proper angle and distance) and execute a left front scoop kick to your opponent’s groin (from the rear).
8. Again plant, adjust, and position your left foot (for proper angle and distance) and execute a right knife-edge kick to your opponent’s spine.
9. From the position of your left kick execute a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 1:30.
