((Here's proof from the post where he executed the fifth strike to show that we're not aligned in a "T" manner, but rather to where our left sides are pointing toward one another. I will italicize the important part. ))

The revolving motion of Chen's guarding left arm was now going to come into play. Going in one more revolution counter clockwise, he would bring his arm to the outside of Dramon's left arm, then bring it up and down to where the left hand will grasp onto Dramon's muscled left shoulder, left arm nearly extended, but kept some bend in the elbow. Now his arm was vulnerable to getting hooked, if Dramon wished to do so. Chen was ready to get up close either way. Because of the way that Dramon will hook his arm, his hand and forearm would probably be on the inside of Chen's left bicep, hooking it nicely.
Thing was, Chen had him in a hook, too, left side facing toward Dramon. His left foot would be positioned to the outside of Dramon's left foot, still in front though, with the right foot set in the same spread stance, keeping him well balanced so far, but the front of his facing out of direct harm's way of a punch. ((This shows the picture that he intentionally got to the left of Dramon while we hook our arms, so he could be out of a direct position of punches to the front of his body. Even if Chen was in the T position, the left arm gripping onto Dramon's shoulder with the hand still would place a "barrier" in the way, so doing a headbutt won't be possible. Just giving you clarification for my post.))
ICDramon's get a grip. Not a good one, because grabbing with the fingertips will have them slide closer to one another, getting on a minor tension of silk in their grip. There was hardly any friction, so when he pulls, he is able to move Chen closer, but they would slide off when he jerks with the force that he does.
When he does pull Chen in, the left elbow of Chen would naturally strike Dramon into the mouth. Since his left arm and elbow were pretty much in line with his face with their left arms hooked, while the baton is just leaving the skull it resoundly bashes. Chen's right foot steps in when he follows the pulling motion, then has his left hand leave grip of the left shoulder of Dramon, using the pulling and his turning toward Dramon's left side to revolve his left arm in a counter clockwise motion, breaking their arm hook. With Dramon's left arm being thrown off momentarily, Chen continues the revolution until he brings it back above the shoulder of Dramon, followed by extending the hand of it past the front of Dramon's neck and continuing it, left hand gripping onto the right shoulder once it arrives, his forearm pressing a little against Dramon's neck. Nothing severe, however.
In the meantime, Chen uses his baton to strike at Dramon's bare back, hitting near the bottom of the spine. Striking around this area was considered one of the most vulnerable places of the back. Getting hit here, especially around the spinal cord, can cause an immediate shock of the nerves, thus a brief stun of pain.
