3. Pivot to your right (into a horse facing 9 o'clock) and deliver a left inward horizontal elbow strike to inside portion of opponent's left ribcage or solar plexus as your right hand guards to the left of your face, always making sure that your right hand keeps a safe distance from your head in order to cushion any blow directed to your head.

 

2. SNAPPING TWIG (front left hand chest push)

Have your right hand (while forming the shape of the crane) hook opponent's left arm counter clockwise and out (to your right) while simultaneously executing a left thrusting chop (palm down) directly to the throat of your opponent; this is done as you shuffle forward with a push drag maneuver.
