Simultaneously have both of your hands force opponent's knife (if opponent is still holding on to the knife) into his throat. If opponent releases the knife on the arm break maintain the hold on opponent's right wrist with your left hand as your right hand grabs the knife and plunges it into opponent's throat.
5.

cause a right shoulder dislocation.
6. Release your right hand grab and shift your right hand under (reverse it counter clockwise and palm up) opponent's right wrist, and switch your stance to a left reverse bow as your right hand maintains the grab (on opponent's right wrist) and twists clockwise (placing great pressure on opponent's right wrist and shoulder).
Simultaneously strike opponent's right elbow (after its release) with your left heel of palm (to break opponent's right elbow).
7. Cock your left leg and deliver a left heel stomp to right side of opponent's neck as both of your hands grab and pull up and toward you to cause further shoulder dislocation.

5. Immediately deliver a right inward overhead downward (diagonal if necessary) hammer fist strike to front of opponent's sternum while dropping in a left close kneel.
6. Force your opponent to the ground with the assistance of your right inward overheard hammer fist strike.

18. DEFYING THE ROD (right front pistol)

1. Standing naturally and with hands at your sides pivot counter clockwise as you slide your left foot to 2:00 into a left front rotating twist stance, as your left hand executes a left outward parry (hooking with your palm up like carrying a tray). Be sure to have your center line move off to the right of the line of fire.
2. Immediately switch your left hand to a grab to his hand (at the gun) and simultaneously execute a right front snapping ball kick to his groin with a right two-finger poke to his eyes.
3. Plant down right, toward 11:00 (to buckle the inside of the opponent's right knee) as your right hand grabs his hand (to assist the left hand which is holding the gun) and yanks down and slightly to your left, to pull him into a right upward flapping elbow strike to his chin.
4. Remove the gun from his right hand with your right hand while maintaining the grab with your left, and immediately step back right to 6:00 and as you step, execute a right downward outward diagonal strike with the butt of the gun to the right side of his head (your left hand checks his right arm out to the left).
5. Now continue the flow of the gun back over forward and down, and as you come up with a right knee kick to his sternum come down simultaneously with the butt of the gun to the back of his head.
6. With your right knee still at his sternum switch it to a right snapping instep kick to the groin then with the leg still in the air, execute a right knife edge kick to the inside of his left knee.
7. With your right knife edge kick still in the air, go into a right front crossover as your right hand strikes across to the left horizontally to hit the inside of your opponent's right elbow, forcing his arm clear of your path.

9. Unpivot from the twist counterclockwise and as you execute a left spinning back kick to any available opening, take the gun by the barrel with your left hand and cross out left toward 6:00 as you switch the gun to your right hand and step out to 6:00 with your right foot, while having the barrel of the gun aiming at the opponent

19. ESCAPE FROM DARKNESS (Left Rear Flank - Right Step Through Punch)

1. Your opponent approaches from 7:30, and delivers a right step through punch toward your head. Hop toward 1:30 onto your right foot into a transitory right one-legged stance, as you immediately counter your opponent's punch with a left thrusting knife-edge kick to the outside of his right knee. Your hands are positionally checking (to your left) in the Neutral Zone. (This should stop your opponent's forward momentum, as well as force him to bend forward.)
2. Plant your left foot toward 7:30 (gauging the leg to obtain proper distance) and immediately spin clock-wise as you deliver a right spinning stiff-leg sweep to the back of your opponent's right knee. (This should cause his right knee to buckle to the ground).
3. Pivot your upper body clockwise and plant your right foot forward into a right neutral bow (facing 7:30). Immediately have your left foot step forward (toward 7:30) into a left neutral bow as:

(1) your right hand gravitationally checks your opponent's right shoulder;
(2) your left knee braces against his back; and
(3) you deliver a left vertical punch to the right side of your opponent's jaw.

The force of your punch should carry your fist through, and in front of his face.
4. With your left knee checking your opponent's back, reverse the motion of your left hand and execute a left outward claw across the face of your opponent. During the same flow of motion, deliver a right inward downward diagonal hammerfist strike to the left side of your opponent's jaw. This strike should conclude with your right forearm dropping, as well as to the back of, your opponent's right shoulder to keep him in check.
5. Have your right foot slide clockwise and back toward 4:30 into a left neutral bow (facing 10:30). With this action have your right hand (which is still t the left of your opponent's face) grab under your opponent's jaw. As you pull with your right hand, execute a left heel palm strike to your opponent's right mastoid (as in Leap of Death). The simultaneous pull and strike is for the purpose of snapping your opponent's neck.
6. Left front crossover, and cover out toward 4:30.
7. With your opponent still on his knees execute a right rear crossover followed by a left (counterclockwise) hooking heel kick to your opponent's face. (Your opponent should fall to the ground.)
8. From the point of contact of your kick, again execute a left front crossover, and cover out twice toward 4:30.
 

20. TWISTED ROD (right front pistol)

1. Standing naturally with hands down, step slightly forward with your left foot, as your right hand executes an outward parry to the barrel of the gun and your left hand grabs his right hand.
2. Step forward and outside of his right leg with your right (to 11:00) as your right forearm pins against the back of his right hand to force it back.
3. Pivot in place counter clockwise into a left forward bow stance facing 6:00, as your left hand and right forearm twist the opponent's right wrist and arm counter clockwise to break it and he is thrown over your right leg to land on his back (with his head toward 4:30 and his feet toward 10:30).
4. Immediately execute a right shovel kick (first the ball of your foot then the heel in the same motion) to his right rib cage, following through and then up.
5. Strike down with a right heel stomp to the head of the humorous at the left shoulder. Plant your right foot just to the right of his left arm and pivot counter clockwise into a left close kneel stance.
6. Drop down with your right knee to his throat as you execute a right two-finger poke to his eyes (your left hand is still holding onto his right gun and hand, and you are facing 2:30).
7. Now take the gun with your right hand and strike down and back (toward your right leg) through his right side of jaw with the butt of the gun, then strike again forward and through his face with the butt of the gun, following through to hit and hurt his right arm.
8. Stand up and execute a right knife-edge kick to his right arm stepping through to 4:30 and as you left front crossover to 3:00 o'clock take the gun by the barrel with your left hand and switch it to your right hand (in the proper manner) so that as you cover out right to 3:00 o'clock you are aiming the gun at the opponent with the left hand below in a checking position (taking care so as not to have your hand go in front of the barrel).
