1. Start from a left leg fighting stance, drive off the back right leg and punch Gyaku zuki (reverse punch).
2. While pulling again with the same hikite arm, punch Tate Zuki (vertical punch).
3. While pulling again with the same hikite arm, punch Ura zuki (uppercut punch) with the right arm.
4. While pulling again with the same hikite arm, pull the front left leg back and step forward with the right leg and strike mae empi (forward elbow).
5. While pulling again with the same hikite arm, strike mawashi empi (round elbow).
