Kenpo Karate Techniques

CONQUERING SHIELD (front left stiff arm lapel grab and possible right punch)

1. With feet together, simultaneously pin opponent's left arm with your left hand as your right vertical forearm strikes against opponent's left elbow to break, then glances off the elbow into a right vertical punch to his face (compound strike), as you execute a right front snapping ball kick to inner knee cap of opponent's right leg. Settle your stance!
2. As you proceed to plant your right foot forward to 11:00 (into a right neutral bow) have your right arm then strike down with your right downward elbow to opponent's left forearm thus forcing your opponent's head down.
3. With feet firmly planted, deliver a right upward elbow strike under opponent's chin.
4. Follow-up with a right downward heel and claw to opponent's face.

Hmm, reading this, we don't break the arm so much as do an upward angled inward/upward elbow to dislocate the opponent's shoulder.
