Step 1
Use the kenpo circling wing technique as self-defense against an attacker who approaches you from the rear and grips you from the neck, making him too close to kick.
-
Step 2
Raise your right arm so that it is in a 90-degree angle to the floor, shrugging your shoulder up and trapping your opponent's thumb between your neck and shoulder. Turn towards your raised arm, bending at the elbow and bringing your arm in tight to your body, trapping the same arm of your opponent under your arm.
-
Step 3
Push your left hand into your opponent's elbow as you are completing the turn to prevent getting an elbow strike to your face. Continue pushing your hand up his arm to the neck, pushing against the side of your opponent's face.
-
Step 4
Complete the circling wing kenpo technique by bending your right arm and swinging your elbow up hard and fast to hit your opponent in the chin. As he leans forward after the blow, lean forward yourself and use the downswing of your elbow blow to hit him in the groin or solar plexus with your closed fist. Step back quickly and use the moment to escape.
