HUGGING PENDULUM - Front Right Step Through Punch

1. While in a right neutral bow, shuffle back (push-drag) toward 7.30 as you deliver a right hammering downward diagonal block on the outside of your opponents right kicking leg. Have your blocking arm travel from 10.30 to 4.30. (this action should disturb you opponents balance, injure his leg, inflict pain, and turn his body to his left).
2. Without delay, execute a left front crossover, cross your right hand (palm up) to your left hip, and positionally check with your left hand. Immediately deliver a right knife-edge kick to the inside of your opponents left knee. (This should buckle your opponents left knee to the ground.)
3. As you plant your right foot forward into a right neutral bow, follow up with a right outward horizontal back knuckle strike to your opponents right mastoid or temple. Arc your strike to the right and return with a right inward horizontal hooking heel palm claw to the left side of your opponents face. Maintain a bend in your right elbow throughout your action. (Your opponent should fall to the ground.)
4. Execute a right front crossover, and cover out toward 7.30.

Summary

The first move is very similar to deflecting hammer but against a different type of kick. Once again you create distance and move off line of attack, creating an angle of deflection with your hammer fist, the body of the calf muscle is exposed more in this type of kick which will cause extreme pain to your opponent. By using an angle of efficiency created by your first moves you can strike your opponent in very vulnerable target, i.e. rear of left knee - possibly smashing the knee cap and mastoid - which may cause unconsciousness, these targets are being struck with huge force by use of marriage of gravity and directional harmony. This technique also shows how well Kenpo employs fitting of your natural weapons to the vital targets which are being struck.
