TWIN KIMONO     (Front: Two-hand lapel grab—push out)

1.  With your feet together, step back toward 6 o’clock with your left foot into a right neutral bow (facing 12 o’clock) as your left arm pins your opponent’s arms at the wrists.  Simultaneously deliver a right upward forearm strike against your opponent’s elbow joints.  (This will raise your opponent onto the tips of his toes.)

2.  Immediately shift your left foot counterclockwise toward 4:30, as you deliver a right outward back knuckle strike to your opponent’s solar plexus.  (This will take the wind out of your opponent, and force him to bend forward.)

3.  Then circle your right arm counterclockwise, and execute an inward downward diagonal strike against your opponent’s left forearm, finishing with your right palm up, and your left hand checking high.  (Make sure that your opponent’s arms are driven down and diagonally to your left.) (Your opponent should rapidly bend down.)

4.  Immediately Round The Corner, and strike with a right snapping outward handsword to your opponent’s throat.  Keep your left hand checking in the Neutral Zone.  (This will stop your opponent, and cause him to fall to the ground.)

5.  Without delay execute a left front crossover toward 10:30 as you simultaneously deliver a left heel palm strike to your opponent’s jaw.  Have your right hand check both of your opponent’s arms during the course of this maneuver.

6.  Without disrupting the flow of your action execute a right knee kick (threading during this maneuver) to your opponent’s right inner knee.  Immediately following up with a right heel stomp to your opponent’s right instep while simultaneously delivering a right lifting forearm strike to the underside of your opponent’s jaw.

7.  Have your right foot step back (step through reverse) toward 4:30 and immediately execute a left front crossover stomp (toward 1:30 onto your opponent’s left in step, as you simultaneously execute a left inward heel palm claw to the right side of his face.  Positionally check with your right arm and hand.

8.  Have your left foot slide off of your opponent’s left in step and pivot clockwise approximately 180 degrees (adjusting if necessary) as you execute a right spinning back heel kick to your opponent’s midsection.  Immediately execute a right front crossover (left rear twist) while properly timed with a right upward outward claw to your opponent’s face.

9.  From the contact point of your right claw complete your crossover, and cover out twice toward 4:30.
