 | Step 2: Step through and under his arm leading with your left leg. Twist his arm with both of your hands. |
 | Step 3: Come underneath his shoulder and in a low wide stance. Your shoulder should be perpendicular to his arm. Control the arm with the hand on his wrist and prepare to strike with your other hand. |
