Straight Punch with Advance/Retreat

Combining straight punch and movement techniques
As punch recoils, close the distance
punch leads, push off, land punch, recoil and close distance - works for both advancing and retreating
having attacker take step forward for retreating practice I think would work
don’t lead with your face

Choke f/ Front, 2-hand Pluck

* Reach hands in down deep past attackers hands * Use hands as hooks to pluck at attackers thumbs by tracing shoulder line and dropping my elbows down and back (*speed & leverage at 90 degrees!). Ideally plucking/catching with my WRISTS, fingers as backup. * As I pluck, take a small side step (stomp) to shift my weight and line up for the groin kick * Recoil my kick & clear his hands * Continue w/ counters, move into a control position, and finish the fight.

Choke f/ Front, 1-hand Pluck

* Same side hand to pluck, simultaneously sending palm heel to attackers chin (blow their head off with my palm) * Move into control position & finish the fight

Choke f/ Behind

* Tuck your chin, contract abs, hands go up, elbows up, reach down back as far as possible * Pluck at attackers thumbs pulling elbows straight down (like YES!) * As you pluck, step diagonally backward moving BOTH feet * Outside hand continues to hold onto attacker, inside hand delivers groin strike followed by elbows up body to head * Outside hand releases and turn in toward attacker with hammerfist strike to face * Follow with additional counters, control position, finish the fight

Choke f/ Side

Back Position

* Head & shoulders off the ground * Chin tucked * Hands up * Closest foot is up by bringing knee to chest, toes peeled back * Base foot is close to rear with hips off ground —I’m coiled up & ready to strike like a rattlesnake!!

Back Position: Movement on Ground

* Goal is to keep my feet between my body/head and attacker * Use base foot to turn & stop * Closest foot to attacker is up for kicking (left/right switch as necessary)

Get Up f/ Ground

* Sit up * Place hands on ground same side as kicking leg * Hips up * Get up by swinging kicking leg quickly under & behind me * Cover distance & be in balanced fighting position
