Spurned Affections: (ABC)

(A.) Rear Garrote: Since both of his hands are occupied with the Garrote, all you have to do is turn and face him. Both of his hands are tied up trying to choke you while both of your hands and feet are free to attack him. Grabbing his head with both of your hands drive your thumbs into his eyes. Maintain your grip on his head and drive your rear knee into his abdominal floor driving through and planting forward.

(B.) Rear Shoulder Grab: Step back 45° to your right with your left foot, pivot to a fighting stance, and left outward twisting strike to his arms as you right punch his solar plexus if he is very close you may opt to use your right elbow for the strike; grab his left wrist with your left hand as you retract your right arm to the chamber position, cross over in advance with your right foot then pivot to a Naihanchi stance, tripping him, pull your left hand towards your left hip, forcing him down with your right vertical forearm as you break his elbow.

(C.) Two Hand Push or Shoulder Grab: Step forward with your left foot to a forward stance (outside his right foot), double inward parry (catching his wrists) with tiger mouths, push his left arm back (across and on top of his right forearm) with your right hand, your left hand (with his right wrist) against and on top of the crook of your right arm; pull your right arm in to your chest (pinning his right forearm against your chest) passing under your left forearm, your left hand rotates clockwise adjusting to his right palm (so you can catch his right hand with your left hand); cross back in advance 45º left forward with your right foot, as you continue your right forearm’s movement around his right forearm (until your right knife hand is on top of his right wrist), lock both of your elbows to your ribs (to prevent his forearm from escaping); Kenpo lock his right arm; pivot 180º, spiraling down, kneel on your left, for takedown and restraint.

Attacking Demon: (ABC)

(A.) Defensive Attack: Place your hands in the self-defense posture 45° forward, shoulder high, and open, the arms bent 90°, the elbows one hand’s distance from the ribs, use this to determine your trigger distancing and to keep him from further encroaching your space; when you determine that he has the intent to do you harm, step forward towards him with your right foot stepping on his left instep and ‘box’ his left ear with you right hand while circling your left hand downward, pivot towards him and left uppercut palm heel his chin; pulling your left hand back, adjust your right foot forward a bit and pivot towards him as you strike the back of his skull/neck connection with your cupped right palm strike. You could continue with a left webhand (tiger mouth) to his larynx if needed.

(B.) Defensive Attack: Place your hands in the self-defense posture, Naihanchi kick his left inside knee with your right leg, plant-forward and double Gouging Thumb strikes to his eyes, maintaining your grip on his head, pull his head down to your belly button height, slide your right horizontal forearm under his chin to the front of his throat; your left hand grasps your right palm in a Gable grip, then pulls straight up (to assist your right arm in the choke); disrupt his balance by moving to jerk and drag him around while you strangle him. (You could use a Reverse Gable grip to elevate your elbow making it difficult for him to grab your left forearm).

(C.) Defensive Attack: Place your hands in the self-defense posture, step forward towards him with your right foot stepping between his legs and simultaneously right elbow strike his left Maxilla/Mandible area as your left palm heel strikes the right side of his head; pivot to a dropping stance and right hammerfist strike his junk, your left hand guarding; reverse motion shifting 180° to a neutral bow and swing your right back knuckle (or palm heel) clockwise and straight downward, striking his chin, followed by a rising left palm heel strike under his chin driving his head up and back, then with a right webhand, strike his throat; reach up with both hands and grab his head pushing him back as you drive a left rising knee into his lower abdominal wall; plant forward between his legs with your left foot to trip him when you twist his head violently to your right.
