Turning the attackers wrist destroys his balance and opens up his neck for a lethal counterstrike.

Slipping the first punch, I enter with a spearing elbow to the ribs, meanwhile protecting against a second punch.

Locking his body in place and twisting his left arm back creates significant shoulder pain.

Stepping INTO the attack allows me to rise up with a damaging elbow, an off-balancing arm pull, and sets up an unexpected knee to the groin.

Even with a huge opponent I begin to attack his balance by stepping on his foot, pulling his arm laterally, and tilting his head backwards.
