Punching Attack Self Defense Technique # 17 (a)

Attack:

Attacker executes a right cross punch to the Defender's face from an "Orthodox Boxing Stance".

Defense:

01. Defender steps off to the10:00 direction with the Defender's left foot into a "Left Forward Stance" while executing first a "Left Inside Palm Brush Block Parry Strike" to the outside of the Attacker's right punching arm targeting the upper forearm then as the stance shift is accomplished a "Right L Shaped Outward Block Strike targeting just behind the Attacker's right elbow.  This will drive the arm across the Attacker's centerline and up slightly off balancing the Attacker.

02. Defender executes a "Right Front Snap Kick" to the Attacker's groin.

03. Defender without stepping down with the right kicking leg, withdraws the right kick while pulling down the Attacker's right punching arm then around clockwise across the Defender's body to the Defender's left side to the Defender's left hand. The Defender grasps the Attacker's right wrist with the Defender's left hand so that the palm of the Defender's left hand is on the back of the Attacker's right wrist.  The Defender twists the Attacker's right wrist away and raises the Attacker's arm so that the Attacker's right triceps muscle is facing up and the Attacker's ribs on the Attacker's right side are exposed.  Defender crescent steps with the right kicking leg into a low "Riding Horse Stance" so that the Defender's right leg is in between the Attacker's legs and next to the Attacker's front left leg.  As the Defender steps down into the low "Riding Horse Stance" the Defender pulls the Attacker's right arm by the right wrist toward the 8:00 direction and executes a right bottom fist strike to the ribs on the right side of the Attacker.  This strike involves the outside blade edge of the Defender's right forearm striking the center of the ribs on the Attacker's right side and the right bottom fist striking toward the back of the Attacker.  The area would be on the same line as the solar plexus.  The strike hits then the Defender's arm is pulled toward the Defender's right and to 3:00 turning the Attacker's body toward that direction.

04. Defender continues the pull of the Attacker's right arm down in a figure eight type pattern while the Defender shifts the stance to a "Right Forward Stance" lowering the Defender's body on the same level as the Attacker's solar plexus.  The Defender shuffles forward slightly toward 12:30 then raises the Defender's body up while rotating the Defender's right shoulder down then up and back in a clockwise motion. If done correctly the down motion of the Defender's right shoulder will get under the Attacker's chin and strike the upper chest in such a manner as to make the Attacker's chin thrust forward.  The upward rise of the body and right shoulder of the Defender will clip under the Attacker's chin, snapping back the head and clearing away a path for the next strike.

05. Defender executes a right chop to the right side of the Attacker's neck (Stomach Nine) as the "jerk" down motion is accomplished on the Attacker's right arm with the Defender's left hand.

06. Defender then grabs at the right side of the neck and upper shoulder of the Attacker digging in the knuckles of the Defender's right fist into the nerves in that area while pulling the Attacker towards the Defender and raising the Attacker's right arm back and up behind the Attacker.  The Attacker should be bent over at the waist toward 6:00.

07. Defender then lets go of the Attacker's right wrist with the Defender's left hand and executes a left downward palm heel strike to just below the Attacker's left shoulder blade and toward the spine and a half beat later a right knee lift to the solar plexus.  The Defender is targeting the Attacker's heart.  The human body is a big bag of water and the strike to the back will send a shock wave toward the heart.  The knee lift strike hopefully will be timed so that both shock waves meet where the heart is, affecting that organ. As the two strikes are accomplished the Defender has already let go of the Attacker's upper right shoulder and has the right arm held up high in preparation for the next movement.

08. Defender stomps down into a "Right Forward Stance" facing toward 1:30 while simultaneously executing a right downward chop strike using the little finger side of the right wrist bone and upper forearm to strike at the Attacker's upper shoulder and crease at the side of the neck near the hollow of the collar bone.  The angle of the strike and the 45 degree angle of the bent over body of the Attacker will send the Attacker down and back sprawling.

09. Defender then steps back into a guarded stance while looking around in all directions for other potential Attackers.

03. The Attacker throws a left hook punch and the Defender response with a "Right Extended Outward Block Strike" to the Attacker's left punching arm.  The Defender turns the outward extended block strike into a right grab sliding down the arm to the Attacker's lower left forearm.

Defender steps with the left foot toward the 2:00 direction while simultaneously executing a left palm heel strike to the upper chest of the Attacker then the Defender's left hand slides up the Attacker's chest to grab the Attacker's throat.
