Execution
Defend yourself by kicking with the opposite leg to your
opponent’s pivot leg. Deliver the side kick swiftly and lean
back with your upper body. Your opponent loses balance
and the attack stops. Your opponent is now in an
unfavorable position, and you can continue with more
attacking techniques. Be mindful of using good timing and
your balance in this counter.
