FLIGHT TO FREEDOM (REAR - Right Arm Hammerlock)

BASE TECHNIQUE

1. With your left foot, step toward 5:00 and form a transitory right neutral bow stance facing 12:00 as you countergrab the opponent’s right wrist with your right hand.
2. Pivot counterclockwise and form a left neutral bow stance facing 6:00 as you attempt to deliver a left outward horizontal elbow strike; however, the opponent blocks this strike and momentarily checks your Width and Depth Zones.
3. Immediately step forward with your left foot toward 1:00 and form a right reverse cat stance. As you step, pull the opponent’s right arm on a downward diagonal direction to control his Dimensional Zones.
4. Deliver a right thrusting back kick to the opponent’s right ribcage.
5. Plant your right foot toward 7:30 and pivot clockwise to form a right neutral bow stance. Twist the opponent’s wrist clockwise in a tight circle. Deliver a left downward heel palm strike to his elbow to cause injury and control the opponent’s Dimensional Zones.
6. Immediately deliver a left front thrusting ball kick to the inside of the opponent’s left knee.
7. Plant your right foot toward 10:30 and form a right rear twist stance facing 4:30 as you deliver a left hammering heel palm strike to the opponent’s right elbow. Your right hand continues to maintain its grab on his right wrist.
8. Complete the crossover and double cover out toward 10:30.

EXTENSION

8. From your right rear twist stance, pivot clockwise and form a right neutral bow stance facing 6:00 as you execute a right outward downward diagonal back knuckle strike to his right kidney.
9. Deliver a left upward knee kick to the opponent’s stomach as your right hand checks his right arm.
10. Plant your left leg (gauging leg) and deliver a right upward knee kick to the opponent’s stomach. From Point of Origin, immediately deliver a right thrusting side kick to the inside of the opponent’s left knee.
