Defense against a pursuit punch

• 7-3 inside, into a full-side-facing with a simultaneous (Kūsankū) same-side outside shutō block and an opposite-side makkikomi-shutō to the neck.
  • This is a variation of the opening move from Ugoku ni Roku Hō.
• Perform a simultaneous (Kūsankū) same-side grasping block to the wrist, and destroy the opponent’s balance with a downward elbow strike to the elbow of their punching arm.
• Knee kick to their abdomen or groin.
• Downward elbow strike to their spine.
• Grab the back of the opponent’s collar, and hook your closest foot around theirs. As the opponent tries to stand up straight, do not resist. Perform a front exercise kick, using their upward and rearward momentum to take them down in a variant of the reap.
• Immobilize the opponent with a shovel pin, and stomp kick.
