While in a left neutral bow, step slightly forward with your left foot as you duck under first opponent's (front opponent) right punch and execute a left upward claw to face of first opponent (first opponent is at 12:00). Simultaneously strike with a right reverse hand sword to first opponent's groin followed by your right knee to groin of first opponent.
2. From point of origin, where your right knee is still buried in groin of first opponent, deliver a right back kick to second opponent's (rear opponent) solar plexus forcing him back. Simultaneously deliver a right vertical punch to front opponent's chin.
3. Plant your right foot back to 6:00; continue your motion toward 6:00 by stepping a left rear crossover as you simultaneously deliver a right outward horizontal back knuckle to face of second opponent.
4. From your twist stance execute a front left snapping ball kick to solar plexus of first opponent and chicken kick with right foot to jaw of first opponent followed by a right thrusting heel palm strike to face of first opponent.
5. Follow-up with a rear chicken kick (starting with your right foot first) gauge your left kick to any opening on second opponent.
6. Left front crossover and cover out twice in the direction of 3:00. Try to end up equal distance from both opponents.
 

20. GLANCING LANCE (front knife thrust - with your arms down)

1. With feet together and arms hanging naturally to your side, step back to 6:30 with your right foot into a left neutral bow as your right hand does an extended outward handsword outside of opponent's right wrist. Simultaneously have the heel of your left palm strike in and against the outside of opponent's left elbow. While in a left neutral bow stance, your right foot should now be positioned to kick.
2. Deliver a right front snap kick to opponent's groin toward 1:30.
3. While planting your right foot forward to 1:30 (have your right leg buckle and check opponent's right leg) execute a right two-finger horizontal eye poke to opponent's eyes.
4. Immediately hop onto your left foot to 9:00 into a right one legged stance as your right hand circles counter clockwise, hooks and parries in an overhead fashion to again strike outside of opponent's right wrist. Just as you did earlier, simultaneously have the heel of your left palm strike in and against the outside of opponent's left elbow. While now in a right one legged stance, your right foot should be cocked to your left knee in preparation for a kick toward 3:00.
5. Deliver a right knife edge kick to outside portion of opponent's right knee to cause opponent's right leg to buckle in toward himself.
6. Plant your right foot in back of opponent's right leg as you check his right arm with your left arm and again execute a right vertical finger thrust to opponent's eyes.
7. Have your right arm collapse (checking opponent's right shoulder) and execute a right downward elbow strike to opponent's right kidney. Have your left hand circle clockwise and strike with a left inward hooking middle knuckle fist to opponent's left mastoid, making contact a fraction of a second after the elbow makes contact.
8. Have your right elbow continue the counter clockwise circle and execute a right inward horizontal elbow smash to opponent's right ribs or head, depending upon what is open. Left hand is guarding under the right and checking in the process.
9. Right front crossover and cover out twice toward 8:00.
