4. Execute a backfist to the ribs of each attacker. (Right backfist to attacker #1 and left backfist to attacker #2.)

3. Grab your attacker's wrist as you step your right foot to 10:30 into a fighting horse stance to buckle to the inside of your attacker's right knee. Simultaneously execute a right palm strike to the right side of your attacker's jaw. (Hopefully your attacker drops the knife here.)
4. Execute a right front crossover sweep to the inside of your attacker's right leg as your right hand checks your attacker's right arm. Simultaneously execute a left two-finger poke to your attacker's eyes. (When the poke hits, you should be in a left one-legged stance.)

8. Execute a right backfist to your attacker's face just before stepping your right foot to 4:30 into a left neutral bow facing 10:30. As you step back, use the residual torque of the backfist as you execute a left inward hammerfist to the back of your attacker's neck.

3. Convert the forward momentum into rotational force as you pivot counterclockwise into a right reverse bow as your elbow forces your attacker to fall over your right leg and go to the ground.
4. As your attacker falls (with their head to 6 o'clock) maintain control of your attacker's right wrist. As your attacker makes contact with the ground, pivot into a left reverse bow as your right hand twists your attacker's wrist clockwise and you execute a left underhand palm strike to break your attacker's elbow.
5. Execute a left knee strike to your attacker's elbow. From point of contact, execute a left knife-edge kick to the right side of your attacker's neck. (As you kick, pull on your attacker's right arm; you may just be able to dislocate it.)

7. Execute a right slicing kick (using your right outer shin) to strike to the back of your attacker's right elbow. Your foot will strike your attacker's back and pass through.
