Setia Hati Pencak Silat Combat Situation

Action B: If the enemy's kick is near the side-thrust type, shift your weight onto your left leg and quickly raise your right leg (possible target) to protect your groin; you then strike your upper wrist bone hard against the enemy's kicking foot, just above the ankle (# 2-# 3). You may then knock the enemy's attacking leg inward, toward his center-line, and deliver a thrust kick of your own to the kneecap of the enemy's platform leg; or else you may face into the enemy at once and deliver a straight snap kick into the groin.

Situation 2. You have assumed a posture of sitting on the ground while the enemy is on his feet and is closing in on you Reference: Training Exercise 4.
Action: When the enemy comes within range, meet his attack with a roundhouse kick aimed at his head, using your right leg (# 2). Should he evade the kick (# 3), leap to your feet in order to face him from some suitable combative posture (not shown).

Situation 3. You are in a right stance, and your enemy aims a right lunge punch at your face.
Action A: Quickly duck under the enemy's right arm and step forward on your left foot. Deliver either a short right thrust punch to his ribs or solar plexus (# 1) or a right forward elbow strike to these same areas (# 2). Immediately after impact, hook your right foot inside the enemy's right foot and scoop his right leg in toward you (# 3-# 4) ; now grab the enemy's right leg with both hands and lift it up and to the right powerfully enough to send him sprawling face down to the ground (# 5).
Action B: At the enemy's right thrust punch, take a wide step to your left, bringing your left foot a bit forward; at the same time, parry the attacking arm from the outside with your opened left hand, palm placed against his arm just below the elbow, to your right (# 1). Parry the arm downward, striking hard with your right hand, knife-edged, into his facial area or neck (# 2-# 3). Alternatively, you may use your hand as shown in # 4 and # 5.

Situation 4. Your enemy is moving to his left in preparation for some new attack. Deliberately swing your right leg in a slow, high kick aimed at his midsection. He must see the kick coming, and he must not suppose it to be so weak that he can ignore it; accordingly, he dodges to his left (# 1-# 2).
Action: Put the foot with which you feinted the kicking attack quickly to the ground, placing it behind the enemy's trailing left foot (# 3). Keeping your right arm in readiness to block any action he may take, scoop up his trailing left leg with both your hands and at the same time drive your right shoulder into his buttocks (# 4). The combination of catching his leg and your forward body motion will knock him sprawling onto his face (# 5).

Situation 5. You have assumed a left stance, with the toes of your left foot pointing left; although your weight is equally centered, your right flank is exposed; your enemy is going to attack (# 1).
Action: Pivot as though you were turning to walk away from his oncoming attack, moving your right leg across and ahead of your left (# 2). To lure the enemy onward, you continue your retreat by stepping forward, putting your left foot ahead of your right and twisting your body to the left to watch the enemy (# 3). You not only let him narrow the gap between you, you narrow it yourself by faking another forward step with your right foot, bringing it in Line with your platform left foot; after delaying a bit, to be sure that the enemy has closed, drive a hard thrust kick backward with your right leg into his groin or advancing knee, twisting your body to
the right as you kick (# 4).
