Orange Belt One Step #2

Number Two - Side step and right knife hand block, roundhouse kick.

The second defense utilizes a 45 degree forward defense. We would like for any attack that accidentally hits us to be a glancing blow, but anything we hit our opponent with to be a head on collision. By stepping to the left with the left foot, this takes us out of the direct line of attack . We do block with a right open hand knife hand though to insure we don’t get hit. As soon as we know that our opponent has missed we follow up with a right roundhouse kick to the body.
