THE GRASP OF DEATH (Left flank: Right headlock)
1. With your head forced to bend forward and your opponent to your left flank (applying a headlock with his right arm), initiate your action by tucking your chin to the left and against your chest, as you grab your opponent’s right wrist with your right hand. All of this is done as your right foot steps toward 12 o’clock into a right close kneel stance while simultaneously grabbing your opponent’s right inner thigh with your left hand and pinching (Crab-Hand Pinch) the flesh of that leg with as much strength as possible. Your opponent will experience a horse-bite effect if it is done correctly. Be sure you continue checking the outside of your opponent’s right leg with your left knee. (Your opponent’s right knee may bend and double up or his leg may pop forward and up off the ground. In addition your efforts should cause your opponent to loosen his grip.)
2. As your opponent reacts to your pinch and partially or totally releases his grip, have your right hand bring his right arm over your head and down to your chest, making sure that your right elbow is anchored to aid you in controlling your opponent’s Height Zones.
3. Immediately release the grip of your left hand and have your left foot step forward toward 10:30 into a left neutral bow stance as you simultaneously strike the back of your opponent’s right elbow with your left forearm while pulling in and toward you with your right hand. (This action should cause your opponent to step forward with his left foot prior to bending over at the waist.)
4. Roll your left forearm on the back of your opponent’s right elbow until your left forearm is parallel to the ground. Now strike your left hand to your opponent’s right elbow. While controlling your opponent’s right elbow with your left hand, pivot into a left forward bow, facing 10:30. As you pivot execute a right snapping vertical punch to the base of your opponent’s skull, behind his right mastoid bone. (This action should cause your opponent’s head to move away, and possibly followed by his body falling to the ground.)
