Punching Attack Self Defense Techniques
Punching Attack Defense # 7 (a)
Attack:
Right cross punch, targeting the Defender's head from an Orthodox Boxing Stance.
Defense:
01. From a "Post Stance" facing to the 12:00 direction, the Defender steps with the left foot toward the 8:30 direction shifting the stance to a "Right Flexible T Stance" facing to 2:30. As this stance transition is being accomplished, the Defender executes a "Butterfly Block" with the left hand on top of the right hand with palm heels touching, to catch the on coming punch to place the Attacker's right fist and wrist into a wrist lock.
02. The Defender steps to the 6:00 direction with the right foot shifting the stance from a "Right Flexible T Stance" to a "Left Flexible T Stance" facing to 12:00 while pulling on the right wrist fist and arm of the Attacker toward 6:00, stealing the Attacker's balance. As the Defender shifts the stance and pulls on the Attacker's arm, circle the Attacker's right arm in a counter clockwise motion so that the Attacker's right arm and both of the defender's arms point straight up to the vertical 12:00 direction. As this motion is accomplished bend the Attacker's wrist and fist toward the horizontal 12:00 mark.
03. Continue the counter clockwise motion of the Attacker's right wrist, fist and arm with the Defender's left hand while letting go of the Attacker's right wrist with the Defender's right hand. Drop the right hand down and circle around in a counter clockwise windmill type motion. Step with the left foot toward the 9:30 direction shifting the stance first from the "Left Flexible T Stance" facing to 12:00 to a "Left Forward Stance" facing to 12:00 then to a "Left Kneeling Stance" facing to 12:00, while continuing the counter clockwise motion of the Defender's right arm. The transition to the "Left Kneeling Stance" should coincide with the downward right fist knuckle rake to the groin of the Attacker.
04. Continue the counter clockwise motion of the Defender's right arm so that the right arm circles toward the face of the Attacker. As this is being accomplished the Defender's right fist is opened so that the palm is facing toward the Attacker's face giving the impression that the Defender intends on striking downward to the Attacker's face. The Defender rises up on the left leg and executes a sharp right front snap kick to the Attacker's groin.
05. Defender retracts the right snap kick to shift to a right cross step stance with the right foot pointing to 2:00 and the left foot on the ball of the foot. As this drop shift stance is accomplished, the Defender strikes with a right downward forearm/hammer fist strike to the Attacker's mid right bicep in a direction toward 10:00, which jars the Attacker off balance in that direction.
06. Defender steps to the 10:00 direction with the left foot shifting the stance into a "Left Forward Stance" facing to 10:00. While this stance shift is being accomplished, the Defender executes a "Right Palm Down Chop Strike" to the Attacker's right side of the neck (Stomach Nine is a possible or points on the back of the neck) and simultaneously pulls back with the left locking hand toward 8:00, stretching the Attacker's Arm out. Defender then grabs the Attacker's neck and upper shoulder, digging the knuckles into the sensitive points in that area. Defender twists to the left and pushes the Attacker down.
07. As the Attacker falls on the Attacker's left side, pinning the Attacker's left arm to the ground, the Defender slides the Defender's right grasping hand down the Attacker's right arm so that the Defender's right palm hand hyper extends upward the Attacker's right arm at the elbow while landing on the Attacker's upper ribs with the Defender's right knee and shin.
08. After the Attacker is pinned and turned away from the Defender, the Defender executes a "Right Back Fist Strike" to the back of the neck of the Attacker using the little and ring finger knuckles.
09. Defender stands up and turns to the right into a "Right Forward Stance" using the Defender's right shin to roll the Attacker's body further onto the Attacker's left arm while pulling up on the Attacker's right arm with both of the Defender's hands.
10. From the "Right Forward Stance" the Defender executes a "Left Front Snap Kick" to the back of the Attacker's head.
11. Defender releases the Attacker's right arm, steps back into a guarded position, looking around for other potential Attackers.
