KAJUKENBO VS LEAD STRAIGHT RIGHT PUNCH

VS. Lead Straight Right Punch

1.) Both you and the opponent are standing in a right foot forward lead stance. 2.) The opponent throws a lead right straight punch (jab). Bending at both knees drop shift low and duck or slip the opponent’s incoming straight punch.  The right foot shifts back toward the three o’clock position. The left foot shifts forward toward ten o’clock. Simultaneously as you drop below the incoming punch execute a straight right punch to the opponent’s body. Your left elbow stays tight to the body and left hand protects at the chin. 3.) Pivot on both feet clockwise. Turning your left hip into the target and counter with a left shovel hook to the opponent’s body. 

4 .)  Pivot clockwise on both feet and execute a right upper cut to the opponent’s chin 5.) Execute the quick shift then push off the left foot and step forward with the right foot. As if throwing a rear hand straight punch, strike your opponent’s right shoulder with a left heel of palm strike and grab his clothing at the area struck. This strike should be hard enough to disrupt his posture and rock him back on his heels. 

(The heel of palm strike targeting the pocket of the shoulder disrupts the opponent’s posture and rocks him back onto his heels. Notice the opponent is rocked back on the heel of his left foot and his lead foot is off the ground)

6.) With a short quick jerk with the left hand, pull the opponent into you. This should rock him to his front and off of his heels. Simultaneously step your right foot straight to the inside of his right foot. 

7.) Pivot on your right foot counter – clockwise and bring your left foot back between your opponent’s feet. Simultaneously pull the opponent forward and bring your right arm up under his right arm. Pinch his right bicep between your right bicep and forearm. 

(The toes of both of your feet should be in line with the toes of his right foot. Your knees should be bent and your axis forward. Your belt line should be a few inches lower than your opponent’s beltline. Your opponent should be up on his toes, his balance broken forward).

8.) Straighten your legs and bend at the waist popping your hips up and lifting him into the air (this is an explosive movement). 9.) Keeping your grip on the opponent, bring your left elbow downward, twisting your upper body toward your left hip to finish the throw.
