Simultaneously deliver a right glancing inward vertical forearm strike against the opponent’s left elbow and ending with a right vertical punch to his face.
2. Pivot clockwise and form a right forward bow stance as you deliver a left uppercut punch to the opponent’s stomach while your right hand checks horizontally above his arms.
