1. While Standing Naturally (facing 12 o’clock), your opponent (standing between 3 and 4 o’clock) grabs your right shoulder with his left hand. Step off and to your right with your right foot toward 3 o’clock into a horse stance (with your head and eyes turned toward your opponent) while striking your opponent’s throat with a right outward handsword. Simultaneous with this action, pin your opponent’s left hand to your right shoulder with your left hand. (This action should cause your opponent’s head to move away from you.)

2. As your opponent reacts to your handsword strike and bends backward, execute a right back hammerfist strike to your opponent’s groin. (Your opponent should then bend forward at the waist.)
