Technique of the Month - February 2005

Tripping Arrow
(front bear hug - arms free)

  1. From a natural stance, step to 9:00 with the left as you drop down diagonal into a horse stance with a right inward overhead elbow to the opponent's collarbone while the left hand grabs and pulls down on the opponent's right shoulder.
  2. Circle counter-clockwise with the right foot to get behind the opponent after the right hand pushes slightly on the opponent's throat (transition). Immediately pivot to a left forward bow as the right hand pushes the opponent's throat and the left hand pulls to complete the takedown.
  3. Deliver a right side stomp kick to the opponent's face while both hands maintain the grab on the opponent's right wrist, cover out with a right front cross side stomp to the opponent's arm.
