Defense against a pursuit punch

• Twist outside, into a cat stance, with an outside elbow break.
• 7-3 outside with a tate-shutō to the solar plexus.
• Twist into the opponent, wrapping your same-side arm around the opponent’s neck, hooking their jaw.
• Step back into a horse stance, pulling the opponent down across your knees.
  • You knee will act like an anvil or chopping block.
• Hammer fist to the opponent’s solar plexus.
  • If the situation calls for more severity, hammerfist strike over to the opponent’s heart, to send it into fibrillation.
