It has been a long time since I have changed this page. I will leave the techniques below posted for another month and then update this page.
Figure 1 Attacker strikes with a punch to the chest or head. Defender executes a right cross/push block deflecting the strike
Figure 2 Defender executes a left upper body block while simultaneously raising right hand from blocking position to prepare for right backhand strike to Attacker's nose.
Figure 3 Defender executes a right backhand strike breaking Attacker's nose.
Figure 4 Defender executes a left palm heel strike to the Attacker's broken nose.
Figure 1 Attacker grabs Defender using a double lapel hold.
Figure 2 Defender raises left arm and crosses it over both arms of Attacker grabbing Attacker's left wrist firmly.
Figure 3 Defender steps across the front of Attacker with right leg raising the right arm. This places enough pressure on Attacker's elbow to dislocate it and brings Attacker off balance. It also positions Defender's body and right arm for the final strike.
Figure 4 Defender executes a right elbow strike to attacker's nose or eye socket.
