November 2020 IKCA Technique of the Month – Hooked Lightning
Defense against a left punch

1. As the attacker executes a committed left straight punch (round or straight), step back with the left leg into either a RNB or (depending on the depth of the attacker) while executing a left inside parry-heel palm check with a simultaneous driving a right vertical fist into his face.

2. Execute a right handed lop sao on the attacker’s left arm, pulling it to your right hip as you execute a left straight fist to the face in a right lunge stance.

3. Release the lop sao and contour up the arm with the right hand in a middle-knuckle fist in a tearing hook movement to the cheekbone as you rotate back into a right neutral bow. Follow up, finish or cover out as desired

#1 - Initial step back is just a neutral bow.

#2 - The right hand does not anchor to the hip.

#3 - Final strike is not a middle-knuckle strike.
