Continue the counterclockwise motion of your right arm and deliver a right outward back knuckle strike to his left lower ribcage as you settle into your stance.
- Shift your left foot counterclockwise toward 1:30 and form a right forward bow stance facing 7:30 as you execute a left inward horizontal heel palm strike to the opponent’s face. Counter Balance this action by cocking your right hand by your right ear in a handsword position.
- Pivot counterclockwise to form a right neutral bow stance facing 7:30 and deliver a right inward handsword strike to the right side of his neck as you settle into your stance.
- Immediately grab both of the opponent’s shoulders (right hand to right shoulder; left hand to left shoulder) and pull him backward as you deliver a right knife-edge kick to the back of Opponent #1’s left knee.
- Plant your right foot toward 6:00 and form a right neutral bow stance. As you plant, push Opponent #1 with both hands to force him toward 6:00 and into Opponent #2.
