This is repeated for the opponent’s follow-up high-level attack, which you jam up in a non-standard way (Movement 11) to help setup a [[Backfist strike|backfist strike]] (Movement 12) needed as an [[Atemi|atemi]] to stun the opponent long enough for you to smash their [[Kyūsho#Groin|testicles]] with a rising [[Ridgehand strike|ridgehand strike]] (Movement 13). Since [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]] injury causes men to reflexively double-over, the opponent will fall on top of you unless you prop them up again (Movement 14).

 Another opponent rushes in from #3, with a right punch. By standing to deflect this, you will simultaneously clear the previous opponent away with a hip check (Movement 16). The opponent continues to punch, but you continue to deflect those blows and close in (Movements 17 and 18), before evading (Movement 16) and countering with a series of blows (Movement 20). This series is also repeated on the other side, to help ingrain it into the student’s muscle memory (Movements 21-25).
