(Ben Green) #1

Saiyok uses this counter against a rotating


elbow, side elbow, or uppercut elbow.


Execution
Defend yourself by stepping back with your rear foot and
leaning back with your upper body. Pay attention to
protecting your head and swift execution of the move.
Follow up from the rear with a kick to the inside of the
leg. As a variant, you can take a large step to the rear and
lean back slightly, which will give you more distance from
your opponent.


A–D: Saiyok defends by leaning back against a rotating elbow.
He promptly follows with a low kick.
