Defense against a pursuit punch

• 7-3 inside, with a cross-body block.
• Reverse punch to the abdomen, as an atemi and a kuzushi.
• Simultaneously use your same-side hand to push the opponent’s fist down and to the inside, with a backfist strike to their nose or philtrum.
• Double shoulder grab the opponent, for a push-and-pull throw.
  • Simultaneously reap the opponent, as needed.
• Finish the opponent with stomp kicks.
