1.

On the left is John who attempts to kick Chai with a roundhouse kick. Chai uses his lower leg to block the kick. 2.

Chai then puts his right foot down as a step in to get close enough to John to grab around John's neck.
3.

Chai then delivers a devastating knee strike to John's midsection. 4.

Here, Chai sets up for another knee...
5.

...and it's delivered! 6.

Chai then brings his right arm back so he can deliver an elbow strike.
7.

The elbow lands on target, and makes John go to his right, which sets him up for a final knee. 8.

Chai delivers, what would most likely be the last strike necessary to win this encounter.
