Deɻect the attack to the side so that your opponent will
be in an unfavorable position. You can do the deɻection
with your inner or outer hand. You can also take a
simultaneous step back or to the outside. Depending on
the distance to your opponent, continue with a round
kick, a straight punch, or a knee kick. In this counter
technique, don’t hold on to your opponent’s kicking leg
but deflect it to the outside in an even motion.
A–D: Kem deɻects a push kick to the side. He now faces his
opponent’s back and can follow with an effective round kick.
