Flashing Swords

Attack: Two handed push

Defense: As always, verbally de-escalate and eat the first push, if those tactics don’t succeed, move on to step one

1: Shoot your left foot in towards your opponent, both hands are also shooting up and outward with palm heel strikes to the inner arm. You should be in a fighting horse stance

2: Rotate your feet and hips into soft bow as you chop with your right hand to the neck. Your palm should be facing upwards as you strike with the pinky side of your hand

3: Left hand chop to the throat , palm facing downward, again with the pinky side of your hand, switching back to fighting horse stance

4: Right handed spear to the middle right below the sternum in the soft spot above the stomach, switching back to soft bow. For this strike you are using the tips of your fingers, so ensure your fingers are close together and your hand is ever so slightly curved to reinforce the strike

5: With your right hand slide straight up from the sternum to C-clamp around the throat , left hand is contouring down the opponents right arm

6: Bring your right leg up and pull your opponent down into a knee strike

7: Don’t set your foot down after the strike, but instead use your right leg to circle behind your opponents knees for a sweeping throw, simultaneously using the grip you have on the arm and throat to help you pull your opponent to the ground
