Face your opponent As he steps in and punches with the right hand, deflect his blow with your left hand.  Strike with your right knee to the midsection and your right hand to the throat.

Pivot counter-clockwise on your left foot and set your right leg down outside your opponent's right leg, maintaining control of his right arm.  Turn his palm up and pull his elbow down on your right shoulder. Pivot for the left elbow to the solar plexis.

Reach between your legs, grab your opponent's right leg and pull for the takedown. Now that he's down, you can choose from ankle locks, leg locks, leg bars, foot cranks, and many other ways to inflict pain or disable your opponent.  Be creative.
   
   

Be careful when practicing.  All martial arts techniques can be dangerous, but those going to the throat require special caution.  Play nice, and have fun.
