Situation I. You and your enemy are within kicking and grasping range; both of you stand on your right legs, with your raised left legs bent at the knee as though ready to kick. You make a decoy forward snap kick with your left foot, and the enemy, in attempting to evade it, prepares to parry or block it downward with his left arm; as a result you have been able to grasp his left fingers. The enemy draws up his left leg to protect his groin (# 1). Reference: Training Exercise 3.
Action: Retracting your left leg, which has been engaged in the decoy action, bring it back to your left rear corner in a wide forceful sweep-step action and at the same time pull the enemy, with a snap, to his right front comer by using the combined power of your right hand and body. He should, at this, lose balance and lurch forward, placing his right hand down in front of him to save himself from falling; double his left arm up behind him in hammerlock fashion using your left arm placed over the back of his captured arm to assist the action (# 2). His reaction will be to rise, moving forward and pulling against the force you are exerting; as he does, take hold of his captured left arm at the wrist with your left hand, simultaneously kicking against the inside of his extended left leg with your right heel; with a powerful snap you can drag him to the ground where he can be finished with a knife-edge hand against his spine (neck) and or his face can be smashed into the ground by the action of your left hand against the back of his head (# 3-# 4).
Situation 2. Engaged with your enemy at close quarters, you have managed to capture his right arm, as shown (# 1).
Action: Take a wide step on your left foot to your left front corner and with both arms snap-pull the enemy to the ground; then immediately release your grip on his arm and take hold of his head in your hands (# 2). You may now complete the action in one of two ways. One is to twist his neck sharply around to his left as you hurl him to your own left and to the ground, where further twisting would result in breaking his neck (# 3). The other way would be to release his neck (as shown in # 2) and the instant he crumples onto his right side, drop quickly to the ground onto your own right side, away from him, but close enough to deliver a hard thrust kick into his head with your left leg (# 4).
Situation 3. You and your enemy have faced each other in right stances; he closes in on you, swinging his trailing left I leg in a low straight-legged kick at your groin or kneecap. Reference Training Exercise 5.
Action A: At his kick, retreat by withdrawing your advanced right leg, keeping your weight well forward and assuming a left lunge stance; simultaneously swing both arms in front of you, starting wide from your left; hold both hands open, with your palms to the left, so that your knuckles face inward toward the coming target-that is, your enemy's left leg, now attacking (#I). Swing your left hand hard, forming an inverted reverse fist on impact with the enemy's inner shinbone; the action should be that of a whiplash. Keep your right hand prepared to reinforce blocking action, or continue other countermeasures.
Action B: After successfully blocking, as described in Action A, go immediately into a counterattack. Deliver a frontal leg sickle attack with your withdrawn right leg, swinging it in roundhouse fashion. You do not aim at the enemy's advanced left leg until after he has stepped down and has put weight on it. Then use your instep to hook around the outside and behind, just above the ankle or the back of his knee, to reap him off of his feet by a strong hooking action to your left (# 2). Note that the enemy has succeeded in disengaging his left leg (the leg which you were attacking) and has brought it back. Your sickle action, thus, was a bit too late, but it did serve to prevent the enemy from further attacks, such as kicking you with his right leg. Note also that he made use of a reinforced open hand tactic to block your sickle leg
