DEFLECTING HAMMER     (Front: Right thrusting ball kick to groin)

1.  While Standing Naturally, step back with your left foot toward 7:30 into a right neutral bow stance (to move out of your opponent’s Line of Attack), as you simultaneously execute a right downward diagonal block against the outside of your opponent’s right kicking leg.  Be sure to have your left hand check at your solar-plexus during your block.  (Your opponent’s body should turn slightly to his left when your block is properly executed.  Your block should additionally turn your opponent’s width and cause injury to his leg.)

2.  Without hesitation and while still in your right neutral bow, shuffle forward as your left hand checks inward, toward and between your opponent’s right shoulder and biceps.  Your right hand continues to circle and it will re-orbit into an inward elbow strike.  (Make sure your left hand checks your opponent’s forward momentum as well as the width of his upper body.)

3.  Just as you conclude your forward shuffle, execute a right inward horizontal elbow strike to your opponent’s face.  This is done simultaneously “with” a left sliding check down and onto your opponent’s right elbow.  (Your action should cause your opponent’s head to snap back and possibly have your opponent drop to the ground.)
