(B) Catch his fingers with your left hand (your fingers on the outside of his index finger, your thumb on the outside of his little finger/reversed for his left hand) slowing it, strike the back of his right hand (lower metacarpals right above his wrist) with your right reverse knife hand; pull his hand to your chest and pin it to your chest, as you step back with your right foot (left if catching his left hand), circle your right hand clockwise under your left arm to your left wrist (keeping his hand pinned to your chest); pin your elbows tight to your sides (so his arms cannot pass underneath them), bend forward 45° with your upper body (shifting your weight forward into him), drop your chin onto your chest (to protect your face in case of a head butt), bend his fingers forward as far as you can; and twist them clockwise (to cause him to bend his knees); pivot and corkscrew down, kneel with your left (right for his left hand); adjust and restrain. under his right forearm (hooking his left arm in an arm lock position with your left arm), your right hand simultaneously releases its grip on his right hand, and circles to a right backhand strike to the base of his skull; scooch forward a bit in your kneeling stance (adjust) and apply a folding restraint with your left arm and violently straighten your left arm to dislocate his right shoulder.
