Handshake Defenses
GIFT OF DESTRUCTION
1. With R hand shaking and while standing naturally, step forward slightly to your L to 11:00 with your L foot as your R hand pulls your opponent’s R hand toward and away from your R hip.
2. With the above action, simultaneously strike in and against the joint of your opponent’s R elbow with your L palm heel as you deliver a R knee kick to opponent’s groin.
3. As you plant your R foot forward (toward 10:00) and against the inside of opponent’s R knee, (in a R neutral bow) deliver a R inward horizontal elbow strike to L jaw of opponent while checking opponent’s R arm down with your L hand.
4. Slide your L foot counterclockwise toward 4:00 into a R neutral bow as you grab opponent’s R shoulder with your R hand and pull him down to you as you simultaneously execute a L inward claw to the R side of his face. (Your R hand releases opponent’s shoulder to check at your mid-section.)
5. Pivot into a forward bow for a R outward raking back knuckle strike to his face as your L palm heel strikes his chest.
6. Pivot back to a neutral bow and reverse the motion of R hand for an inward/downward hammerfist to opponent’s chest.
7. Your L foot crosses over R as you shoot a L vertical punch to the L side of his face. Immediately follow with a R knee to the inside of his R leg.

GIFT IN RETURN
1. With feet together and opponent squeezing your R hand, step forward and to your L (to 11:00) with your L foot to a L neutral bow (outside opponent’s R leg but hugging and checking with your L leg). Simultaneously, your L hand thrusts down on opponent’s R forearm to strike opponent’s groin with your R hand and his.
2. Shift your L hand around and back of opponent’s R leg to grab opponent’s R wrist as your R foot shifts clockwise to 10:00 (into a L neutral bow). Immediately pull up with your L hand and push down against opponent’s R hip with your R hand to put pressure on opponent’s testicles and limit leverage, thus nullifying his ability to kick.
3. Immediately, release your L hand grasp to deliver a R step through knife-edge kick to the back of opponent’s L knee.
4. Without any hesitation, your R kicking foot plants next to your L to deliver a L knee kick to opponent’s tail bone.
5. With your L foot in the air (or after it plants forward, depending on circumstances), execute a L knife-edge kick to the back of opponent’s R knee to buckle it.
6. Step into a L front crossover to 10:00 and pivot clockwise. Execute a R spinning lifting rear kick to opponent’s groin.
7. Your R foot crosses over to 12:00 as you execute a R back fist to opponent’s L kidney. (Using marriage of gravity here.)
8. Pivot counterclockwise into a L neutral bow as you execute a L back fist to opponent’s R kidney or back. Without disrupting your movement, your L foot continues on around as you drop into a R wide kneel to execute a R inward hammer fist to the back of his neck.
9. Step into a R front crossover and cover out.
GIFT OF DESTINY
1. With feet together, strike down with your L palm to top of opponent?s R hand. Immediately, your R foot steps forward to your L to 11:00 (R neutral bow) to buckle opponent’s R leg. Still holding with both hands, your R elbow strikes in horizontally to his solar plexus.
2. Your R rising obscure elbow strikes up to the chin as your R and L hands begin to reverse grip on opponent’s R hand (around wrist and fingers).
3. Step back toward 6:00 with your R foot (L neutral bow) as your hands twist opponent’s hand clockwise and your L hand reverses its grasp to grip underneath his wrist to secure the twist.

5. Deliver a R snapping ball kick to opponent’s solar plexus.
6. Shift opponent’s arm to the L side of your body as you plant forward into a R neutral bow to 1:30 and take advantage of gravitational marriage with a R lifting back fist to opponent’s L jaw which loops through and comes back down to strike his R jaw. Immediately shift into a R forward bow as you execute a L vertical punch to his face followed by another R lifting back knuckle to the L side.
7. Your L foot steps behind your R (into a L rear crossover) as you execute a R outward elbow through opponent’s face.
8. Pivot counterclockwise to execute a R inward elbow to opponent’s face. Continue to pivot into a L neutral bow as you execute a L outward elbow to opponent’s face.
