Alternating Maces - Yellow Belt

(Front- Two-Hand Push)


1. An attacker at 12 o'clock pushes your shoulders with both hands.


2. Step your left foot back to 6 o'clock into a right neutral bow facing 12 o'clock as you execute a right inward block to your attacker's outer left arm. Note: You will chamber your left hand in order to execute the next move with the most power.


3. Collapse your right arm across the top of both of your attacker's arms to check them down. Pivot into a right forward bow using torque as you execute a left vertical punch to your attacker's solar plexus.


4. Instantly convert your left punch into a check by having it collapse (palm open and down) on top of your attacker's arms. Pivot back into a right neutral bow stance as you execute a right backfist strike to your attacker's temple, utilizing counter-torque for power. Note: You can push drag into this if you want for added power.

Note: This block will expose the width of your attacker's body (centerline).
