Clutching Feathers [full extension]
- For left hand hair-grab [pulling in to punch w/right hand?]
I. Beat 1:
1. Grab attacker’s left [hair-grabbing] hand.
2. Pin his hand to your head, keeping your forearm directly in front of your face to protect you from being hit.
II. Beat 2:
1. Step left foot back into right-forward bow – keeping back, neck and head straight; and holding the attacker’s left hand firmly to pull him forward and off balance.
2. As you rotate into right-neutral bow:
3. Do a right-snapping vertical punch with an extended middle knuckle into the nerve pack in the attackers left arm-pit, using the rotational torque from step II-2 to add power to the strike.
III. Beat 3:
1. As you rotate into a right-forward bow:
2. Left heel-palm to attacker’s nose [?] [letting go of attacker’s left hand] – using the rotational torque from step III-1 to add power to the strike.
3. Right extended-outward block to attacker’s left arm [the one you were just holding]
IV. Beat 4:
1. Pause – to allow attacker to bring his head forward after the heel-palm strike.
2. As you rotate into right-neutral bow:
3. Right inward-raking back-knuckle across the attacker’s nose – trying to bounce each knuckle across the bridge of the nose.
V. Beat 5:
1. As you step into a forward twist:
2. Right inverted-hammerfist into the attacker’s groin.
3. Left reverse punch to attacker’s head
VI. Beat 6:
1. Stay in forward-twist stance.
2. Right inward elbow to attacker’s head [temple or mastoid process] using the left hand to sandwich the attacker’s head into the elbow.
VII. Beat 7:
1. Stay in forward-twist stance.
2. Left hand does inward-rake [left-to-right] across attacker’s eyes.
VIII. Beat 8:
1. Left hand does outward-rack [right-to-left] back across the attacker’s eyes again.
2. Right hand does outward rake [left-to-right] across attacker’s neck or chest.
3. Right step-through knee-strike into attacker’s groin or bladder as he is pushed up by the previous two steps. This will bring the attacker’s head back down.
IX. Beat 9:
1. As your right foot plants into a right-neutral bow from the previous knee-strike:
2. Downward right-hammerfist into the back of the attacker’s neck using marriage of gravity from the planting of the right foot.
X. Beat 10:
1. As you rotate around to the left [counter-clockwise] into a reverse bow
2. Use a frictional strike to the mastoid process with the inside of your right-fist to pull the attacker in the direction you are now facing.
