DANCE OF DARKNESS - Front Right Kick & Right Punch Combination

1. While standing in a right neutral bow, your opponent executes a right front kick toward your abdomen. Have your right foot step back of your left foot toward 6 o'clock into a left front twist stance (facing 12 o'clock) as you execute a right outside downward parry (open hand) to the outside of your opponent's right leg. Have your left hand positionally check at your solar plexus.
2. As your opponent follows through with a right punch toward your head, step forward with your right foot (toward 11 o'clock) into a right neutral bow to the outside of your opponent's right leg (while looking at 12 o'clock). As you step forward, execute a double parry to the outside of his right arm (left inward parry at the wrist or forearm, followed by a right outward parry at or above the elbow).
3. Have your left foot step around as well as behind your opponent (between 10 and 11 o'clock) into a transitory left neutral bow with your hands cocked (chambered) in "cup and saucer" fashion at your left hip. Continue the flow of your action as you pivot clockwise into a right close kneel (facing 4:30). As you pivot into your close kneel, execute a right outward back knuckle strike with a left vertical punch combination to your opponent's right kidney and right ribs (or left kidney and spine, depending on opponent's response), respectively. (Your right hand is on the bottom to act as an immediate check if necessary.) (This should stun your opponent.)
4. Immediately have your left hand grab your opponent's right shoulder. As you firmly pull down on your opponent's right shoulder (to control his Height Zones) simultaneously thrust a right vertical back knuckle strike to your opponent's right temple. (This should daze your opponent.)
5. Execute a left front crossover sweep (toward 4:30) to your opponent's right leg. As you sweep, drop your right punching hand into a small counter-clockwise loop and execute a right two opponent's left eye. Your left hand should be checking on top of or near his right shoulder. (This should temporarily blind your opponent.)
6. Utilising the principle of Object Obscurity circle your left checking hand around and under your right arm so that it tracks along the outside of your right arm to strike as a left two-finger eye poke to your opponent's left eye. This poke is executed at the moment your left foot plants from the crossover sweep. Your right hand should now be positionally checking. (This poke should cause intense pain.)
7. From your right rear twist stance pivot clockwise and borrowing from the momentum of your rotation execute a right leg sweep (again toward 4:30) and buckle the back of your opponent's right leg. Your right leg first strikes his right leg while bent and then straightens to accentuate the force. (Your opponent should fall to the ground with his head near 10:30, as you settle into a left forward bow facing your downed opponent.)
8. Execute a right "retarded ball kick" to your opponent's jaw. (This should further daze your opponent as you employ the principle of fitting.)
9. Retrieve your right foot (gauging leg) and plant it to the right side of your opponent's body (below his armpit), and, while turning clockwise, execute a left side thrusting knife-edge kick to your opponent's face.
10. From the Point of Contact of your left kick, execute a left front crossover and double cover out toward 4:30.

Summary

Although this technique comes in high on our syllabus, it seems to bring us right back to the beginning at Deflecting Hammer. However, this time, maybe the opponent is more skilled delivering his kick slightly higher and then following with a right punch. So, not the wild man kick of deflecting hammer, which was fully dependent on impact for success, now maybe a more experienced opponent. The other consideration could be we are more skilled now and making more effective use of depth perception and gauging skills.

The kick is aimed at abdomen level, your rear crossover into transitory twist stance provides distance but leaves you in the line of attack. Using a parry instead of a block causes more of an angle of disturbance than and angle of deflection, this is used because you now employ reverse motion by pushing off the ground. You move towards your opponent while parrying his right punch. Your parries allow you to ride the force of your opponents weapons and position yourself in an obscure angle, opening up vulnerable targets from behind your opponent. This is another way of taking the advantage away from your opponent reducing the power of his weapons and placing him in a vulnerable position. From this position you can attack vital targets e.g. the mastoid nerves at the side of the eye socket, eyeball on both left and right sides.

We now use rotational forces and buckle our opponent providing and angle of entry for a shovel kick to the chin and blade to the side of the face.
