TWIRLING WINGS     (Rear: Two-hand stiff-arm shoulder grab)

1.  While Standing Naturally, tuck your chin (to help nullify the effects of a possible choke) as your left foot steps back and to your right on a slight 45 degree angle (toward 5 o'clock) into a left rear twist while cocking your right fist (palm up) on your right hip and your left fist (palm down) across your waist and over your right fist. 

2.  As you pivot counterclockwise into a left forward bow (facing 5 o'clock) execute a left vertical outward block to the outside of your opponent's left elbow (at or above the elbow) along "with" a right inward horizontal elbow to the back of your opponent's left lower ribcage.  This should cause your opponent to turn clockwise (to his right) as his stomach juts forward. 

3.  Pivot clockwise (to your right) into a left fighting horse (facing 6 o'clock) as you deliver a left inward horizontal elbow strike to the front of your opponent's left lower ribcage.  Simultaneously have your right hand check high, as it braces up and against your opponent's left arm.  Be sure to have your left knee check and/or buckle the inside of your opponent's left knee.  (Your opponent should bend forward at the waist as he stumbles backward.)

4.   From your left reverse bow execute a left knee kick to the inside of your opponent's left knee, again for the purpose of buckling him.  Along with this action have both of your arms and hands essentially remain in their last position accept they should now be used a Positional Checks (right hand high and left hand low).

5.  From the contact point of your left knee kick plant your left foot to the right of your right foot into a left front twist stance (with your arms still checking) and without hesitation pivot clockwise and execute a right spinning back stiff-leg kick between your opponent's legs and up to his groin.  At this point shift your arms and hands to the right of your body as they positionally check (right hand low and left hand high).

6.  From your right stiff leg kick execute a right front crossover toward 10:30 as you simultaneously deliver a right outward back knuckle strike to your opponent's head.  (This back knuckle strike travels diagonally upward as will as outward).

7.  Continue your right front crossover, and cover out twice toward 10:30.  Alter the checking positions of your hands during the cross-out and cover.
