Orange Belt One Step #3

Number Three - Step back, right inside block, back fist, side kick.

The next defense has us step straight back with the left foot into a horse stance while at the same time executing a right inside block . This technique is designed to teach proper fighting techniques for properranges. We start with a backfist strike to the temple and then shift back slightly to be able to use a sidekick to the ribs of our opponent. For generations different styles have argued over which is better , a kick or a punch.We believe that if your at kicking range then kick, if your at punching range the punch. This one step begins the process of learning the proper range for each technique.
