Written Step by Step

From Ready Stance

1.  Lean back until you begin to lose your balance. At that time grab with right hand (as to collar), your left hand is open and on top of your right arm, palm to ear.  Step back with your right foot into a L stance (135 degree to rear clockwise).  Your feet are on a 45 degree line from front to rear.  As your foot lands simultaneously - pull your right hand to your solar plexus palm up in a fist and strike with knife-edge of your left hand at same point where your grab was made. Step your right foot to the right shifting into a forward stance.  At the same time execute a high punch with your right fist. Wrap up for a right back fist and step clockwise with your right foot onto the 45 degree line into a riding stance and execute a right back fist shoulder high (full extension).

​

2. Pivot your right foot with your toes moving to the right and execute an inside crescent kick with your left leg to your right fist. Land with your left foot on the same 45 degree line in a L stance.  At the same time execute a left low block (from a full wrap) then immediately step into forward stance with your left foot. As you start to move wrap for a left high block.  Execute the high block while you are moving.  At the same time that your foot lands execute a right high punch.

​

3.   Drive your right leg (bent knee) through and past the left leg then jump off your left foot and execute a flying round-house kick with your left leg, kicking toward the rear direction. Land facing the opposite direction (to the front) on the same 45 degree line with your right foot forward in a L stance. Wrap up for a tension right open-hand block with both hands open. Slowly complete the block and as your right hand is reaching the end point increase the dynamic tension in your arm (as though you are compressing a large spring with your right arm, and when you finish it’s like you pushed the spring into a locking position at which time you can relax your muscles). At the same time begin slowly pulling your left hand to your hip palm up with similar dynamic tension as your right arm.

​

4. Step your left foot up past your right foot into a cat stance with your left shoulder facing toward the front. At the same time execute a high left elbow/forearm strike to the palm of your right hand (the target would be your opponent’s temple). Next, step with your left foot moving toward the front into a forward stance. As you are moving execute a high left back fist (to the other temple) followed by a high right punch (to the center of your opponent’s head).

5. The same move as #3 except land facing the same direction that you are moving (to the front) remaining on the same 45 degree line. The tension move is also facing the same direction as you land.

6. The same move as #4 except the mirror image

​

7. Execute a rear (left) leg straight kick in the same direction that you have been moving. Retract the kick and bring foot down directly beside our right foot, then pivot slightly to the left and execute a right leg side kick. Step your right foot down landing in a riding stance facing the front. Begin a dynamic tension move, wrapping up with both of your hands open with your right hand on top. This right tension block ends directly in front of your solar plexus with your left hand on your hip closed fist. Next execute a double middle punch (right then left) Ki Hap on second punch.

​

8. Grab to the front with your left hand and wrap up with your right hand open for knife strike. Slide your right foot over to the left and pivot to the left into a cat stance while executing a right open hand knife strike.

9. Turn to your left 90 degrees. You will be heading on a 45 degree line toward the back corner. Reach through with your right hand and grab then strike with your left knife hand as you are stepping out with your left foot into a rearward “L” stance. (Essentially it is the same move as #8 but changing directions and stance.)

10. Stepping forward with your right leg, as your feet are side by side execute a right low punch, then keep moving your right leg into a forward stance while executing a left high block as you are moving followed by a right high punch which ends as you finish the step into the forward stance.

11. The same move as #10 except the mirror image

12. Step your right foot in the same direction you have been moving and turn around to the left to face the opposite direction ending in a rearward “L” stance with a left low open hand block.

13. Execute a rear leg straight kick with your right foot kicking toward the front. (You will be heading on a 45 degree line back toward the front, essentially moving on the same line that you previously traveled.) Retract your kick and continue moving your right foot forward into a forward stance. When you step forward with your right foot execute a right high block.

14. Same move as #13 except the mirror image

15. Place both hands in a fist palms up on your rear right hip, then step our right foot forward into a forward stance. At the same time your foot lands executing a double/twin punch about chin high with your hammer fists (little finger down) toward the floor.

16. Step forward into a riding stance with the left foot facing the front and execute a left low block. Execute a right middle inside block and turn your upper body away from the front, then execute a left middle inside block and turn your upper body away from the front. Finally, execute a right middle punch with Ki Hap as you end square your body up facing to the front.
