The Art of War: (ABC).

The first set of techniques we require is called "The Art of War" as, in the book written over 2,000 years ago, these techniques embody our fighting principles all rolled up into one. (Your instructor will supply you with the answers to this). Do not be fooled into thinking this technique is only used for defense. It is very capable of being used offensively. When striking someone in the head - it is wiser to use a palm heel or tiger claw strike rather than possibly breaking your hand on his skull. The chin should be the target for dropping punches to the front or sides of his face (Maxilla/Mandible areas) not rising or straight in. Save your fist for soft targets but remember that you must be effective at whatever you do. Meaning making sure you understand the right things. With us, the right thing is inflicting DAMAGE on the human body. Once you know that, the next thing is developing efficiency. That means doing the right things the right way. The worst thing would be getting very efficient at doing the wrong things.

A.) Right Punch: Step forward slightly off the line of attack with your right foot to a fighting stance; at the same time: left outward extended knife hand block (to reduce the effect of a possible impact), and right ulna strike his left clavicle, your right hand retracts to a guard position as your left gouging thumb enters his right eye to the second joint, from there reach behind and grab behind his neck with your left hand; take a small step forward with your right foot and pivot towards him to deliver a right elbow strike to the left side of his head (Maxilla/Mandible areas);

Possibilities

a. (his forward momentum stops, and his body moves rearward) Shuffle forward (push-drag), pivoting to a fighting stance and,

b. (his forward momentum stops, and his body stays in place) Pivot in place to a fighting stance and,

c. (his forward momentum continues) Step back with your left leg alongside him and pivot to a fighting stance and,

(if he hasn’t collapsed by this time) reach up with your right hand, and catch the back of his head with both hands (Kenpo style with both forearms pressed vertically against his chest); step back with your right then left and pull his head towards your chest. Maintaining your grip on his head, push his head down to your belly button height, slide your right hand down, and grab his chin while maintaining your left hand on top of his head. While pulling him forward by his head. step back with your right foot, left foot, then pivot to a Naihanchi stance and violently twist his head counterclockwise to break his neck. (if he tries to counter by throwing his body in the direction of the twist: reverse direction and hold his head tightly so he does the break for you).

(B.) High Right Hook Punch: Slide slip forward to your left under his striking arm (to the outside of his right foot) loading up your right hand, your left hand/forearm covering the left side of your head to reduce the effect of a possible impact; pivot forward into him shifting to a neutral bow stance, your right-hand hook punches his gonies/bladder/solar plexus in an upward movement; twist your torso back reloading your right side, then twist and pivot forward as you rise and right descending hook punch to his lower left mandible; (normally, this is the end of it) moving your left foot towards his rear left side a bit, drop and ‘U’ slip twisting your torso towards him loading up your left side and left hook punch his right floating ribs or kidney; step with your right foot directly in front of him and uppercut palm heel strike under his chin with your right, your left arm having withdrawn towards a chambering position, then; reach up with both of your hands, and catch the back of his head (Kenpo style with both forearms pressed vertically against his chest); shuffle back, and pull his head to your chest then deliver a right rising knee or shin strike his abdominal floor, driving forward with all of your body weight plant forward with your right foot; Maintaining your grip on his head, step back with your right foot then your left foot while lowering his head to your waist height and pulling him forward by his head, now, bring your right foot to your left foot and cross back 90° to your right with your left leg, maintain your left hand on his head keeping it down while swinging your right arm 360+ degrees in a circle to a dropping forearm strike to the back of his neck.

(C.) Either Hand Grab/Punch: (Right Punch, Left Grab). As soon as his hand touches you grab his wrist with your left webhand keeping it close to your side and step back slightly off the line of attack with your left foot to a fighting stance turning his hand over; catch his fingers with your right webhand pulling his hand up to your shoulder bringing your elbow over his forearm and apply a nikyo to his wrist and downward presure against his forearm/elbow to cause his knees to bend and drive him to the ground. Once there apply the appropriate restraint.
