Move of the Week for the Week of June 1, 1998

Face your opponent. Ignore distractions such as people walking through the frame. As your opponent steps in and punches with the right, step in and to your right and execute a knife hand defense with the left hand.
Right hand punch to the face. Reach around behind your opponent and grab the back of his neck with your right hand.
Pull him down and into your right knee to his groin / midsection. Step down with your right leg behind your opponent.
Takedown. You're sweeping his right leg forward, pushing forward with your right arm, and utilizing his stiff right arm. Finish with a punch to the face.

Practice to make the moves crisp. Also try this technique with the first block and punch executed simultaneously.
