Instructions

  1. 1Kick-slide into a pass set keeping the base wide, not narrow.
  2. 2Time the punch to land just as the rusher enters striking range, not early.
  3. 3Keep hands inside the frame on contact and recover the base after the strike.

What to focus on

A wide base through the set with a well-timed, inside-hand punch.

Common mistake

Oversetting or narrowing the base, which opens the hips and exposes an inside lane.
