CHECKING THE STORM     (Front: Right overhead club attack)

1.  While Standing Naturally, as your opponent swings his club in an overhead fashion, quickly step off to your right with your right foot toward 3 o’clock.  Simultaneously drag your left foot toward your right foot as you form a left 45 degree cat stance facing 10:30.  Without a break in the flow of your action execute a left extended outward handsword block to the inner wrist of your opponent’s right arm.  During the natural flow of your motion have your right hand precede your left hand as a right parry (executed in the manner of a right inward block) that stops, hand open, to act as a check in front of your solar-plexus.

2.  Immediately execute a left front snap ball kick to your opponent’s groin.  (This should cause your opponent to bend forward at the waist.)

3.  Plant your left foot (toward 10:00).  Be sure to properly gauge the distance between you and your opponent, as you deliver a right snapping knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponent’s right knee.  (Your action should cause your opponent’s right knee to bend out and away from you, but cause his head to move closer to you.)

4.  Plant your right foot toward 10:00 into a right neutral bow, and while employing Marriage of Gravity, execute a right outward back knuckle strike to your opponent’s left temple, as your left hand remains checking at your solar plexus.  (This action should drive your opponent’s head away from you and possibly cause his body to drop to the ground.)
