SWINGING PENDULUM - Front Right Roundhouse Kick

1. Standing in a right neutral bow, slide your left foot counter-clockwise toward 4:30 and deliver a right inward block simultaneously with a left downward block (universal block) against the inside of your opponent's right kicking leg. (Preferably the block should occur at the knee, as this will open the width zones on your opponent's body.)
   
2. Shuffle (push-drag) forward toward 10:30, while remaining in a right neutral bow, and simultaneously convert your right inward block into a right downward hammer-fist strike to your opponent's groin, as your left hand checks high near his chest. (This will force your opponent to bend forward at the waist.)
   
3. Again shift your left foot counter-clockwise toward 1:30 into a horse stance (facing 4:30) as you CONTOUR up your opponent's chest with a right snapping obscure elbow strike to his chin, and your left hand continues to check high. (This will snap your opponent's head up.)
   
4. 4.Right front crossover, and cover out toward 1:30.

Summary

I view this attack as a medium to high kick, a roundhouse kick gains power as it moves up the circle reaching max. power at its apex, and begins losing power as it goes down the circle. In Kenpo we are taught to move up the circle moving away from the power and target of the kick into the Zone of Sanctuary. By using a universal block we cover the possible different heights of the kick using upper and lower case motion employing economy of motion. This creates and angle of disturbance as it strikes, upsetting the opponents balance, more than causing injury, although that is also possible. It also provides angle of entry to your opponents groin which is struck using borrowed force as he lands, by continuing up the circle you employ contouring, you both check your opponents depth and expose his target and provide and angle of entry. You have managed to cancel his height, width and depth by moving up the circle. Your opponent has gone past the apex of his kick, going to an angle of no return, reducing further this ability to cause injury or counter.
