REPRIMANDING THE BEARS (FRONT - Right Punch, REAR - Bear Hug, Arms Pinned)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. With your left foot, step toward 9:00 and form a wide horse stance facing 12:00 as your left hand pins the hands of Opponent #2 (who is holding you in a bear hug from behind). Immediately deliver a right front thrusting ball kick to Opponent #1’s groin as you simultaneously deliver a right back hammerfist strike to Opponent #2’s groin.
2. From Point of Contact, plant your right foot toward 7:30 on the inside of Opponent #2’s left leg. As you plant, form a right reverse bow stance to buckle the inside of his left leg. Simultaneously deliver a right downward heel palm strike and grab to his groin.
3. Execute a right over-the-shoulder back knuckle strike to the face of Opponent #2.
4. Immediately circle your right arm counterclockwise so that it travels up, around, and to the right side of Opponent #2’s neck. Simultaneously circle your left hand clockwise (over your right shoulder) so it travels up,around, and to the left side of his neck. When both hands meet on the back of Opponent #2’s neck, grab, pull, and force his head downward as you deliver a right upward knee kick to his face.
5. From Point of Contact, plant your right foot forward toward 12:00 and form a right front crossover and immediately deliver a left knife edge kick to the sternum of Opponent #1.
6. From Point of Contact, plant your left foot toward 12:00 and form a transitional left neutral bow stance. Immediately execute a right rear crossover as you deliver a left outward back knuckle strike to Opponent #1’s head as you settle into your right rear twist stance facing 12:00.
7. From your right rear twist stance, execute a right thrusting ball kick to the sternum of Opponent #2 (toward 6:00).
8. From Point of Contact, execute a right rear crossover followed by a left back thrusting heel kick to Opponent #1’s stomach.
9. From Point of Contact, execute a left front crossover and double cover out toward 9:00.
