Begin by moving your right foot forward into a defensive stance, dropping your center of gravity and bringing your right elbow in toward your body. This movement will off-balance your opponent forward by taking the "slack" out of his grabbing hand and at the same time maintain your strong balanced position. By taking the "slack" out of his hand, you will in effect, reduce your opponent's strength, weakening the hold. (1) Circle your right hand up counter-clockwise so that your radius bone (on the side of your thumb) is against the weakest part of his hand (between his thumb and fingers). In this instance, your right thumb should be facing toward you. Keep your right elbow in close to your body maximizing your body mass behind your escaping arm. (2) Step in between your opponent's legs with your right foot dropping into a low horse stance and drive the tip of your right elbow into your opponent's right wrist. This motion should allow you to escape the hold. At the same instant as the escape, do a downward ope-handed palm-check block with your left hand as you raise your right fist up behind and above your right ear. This type of check block is used to help protect yourself from a potential kick or strike. (3) As you release from the hold, deliver a hammer blow to the bridge of your opponent's nose with your right fist and break his nose. Make sure that you maintain your own balance throughout this technique.

Your opponent grabs your right wrist with both of his hands. It should be noted that while both of your opponent's hands are busy holding your right wrist, your left hand is still free.
