Face your opponent	As your opponent steps in and punches execute a high cross block.
Rotate your wrists to bring your opponent's wrist into a lock and down	Hold your opponent doubled over with a wrist lock or pressure point (try both to see what works best for you)
Deliver a front snap kick to your opponent's face (if you have bare feet in an actual confrontation, you may want to think twice before hitting a hard target with your instep)	Step over your opponent's arm to put yourself in a position for an arm break. Either break on your leg, or force your opponent down and pull up for the break.

Practice different ways of forcing your opponent into the doubled over position (wrist locks, momentum, etc). When you find what works best for you, have your partner resist more each time until you're confident that the move would work in the street. You'll want to bring your opponent's arm around quickly and use surprise to your advantage.
