Use the left arm to block the opponent’s kick, focusing on the mid-calf area, effectively opening the left guard of the opponent. Lift the calf to an angle greater than 50 degrees to destabilize the opponent. Then, deliver a powerful and fast right punch targeting the opponent’s chin, or push to make them fall
- When the opponent kicks with the left foot targeting the right ribs or neck, in the second move, step forward slightly with the right foot. Use the right arm to intercept the opponent’s kick, positioning it between the opponent’s lower leg and the calf. This will open the opponent’s right guard. Lift the calf above 50 degrees, causing the opponent to lose balance, and then quickly and forcefully deliver a left punch to the opponent’s chin, or push them to fall.
