Hit an opponent without getting hit. Today, we’re going over the evasive step, and kick to counter.
Attacking backwards isn’t limited to just using punches but you can also kick or knee from an evasive step*
(*evasive step meaning one or several steps moving backwards)
If you have been following the footwork series, then you must be a bit familiar with what we call the evasive step.
Step. Slide.
Now we just add a knee or kick to that evasive step.
Step. Slide. Use Back Leg as a Spring. Rear Knee.
Can also be done with switch techniques.
Step. Slide. Switch Knee Counter.
Drill these two techniques 5 times each, repeating for a full 3 minute round. If you have the space, continue to move back with each strike, otherwise, you can still work this footwork in place.
You can grant the illusion of timidness and give your opponent a false sense of confidence by moving backwards.
This is a great way to bait an opponent to walk into your attacks. 😉
