Technique for discussion:
Deflecting Hammer-Right Front Kick
1. An attacker from 12 o'clock executes a right front thrust kick at your side.
2. From a right neutral bow, push drag back to 6 o'clock as you simultaneously execute a right downward block against the outside of your attacker's kicking leg. (This block should turn your attacker's back to you and possibly hurt them as you stretch them out.)
3. Execute a left thrusting check to their right arm (between the shoulder and biceps). As you do this, your right block (still in motion) will cock itself at your side.
4. Shift (push drag) towards 12 o'clock as you execute a right inward elbow strike to your attacker's face.
Thought we could discuss differences in this technique, as well as any possible counters or counter strikes our attacker can do.
For myself, I perform this technique from a neutral position, rather than the neutral bow stance. The rest of the technique remains the same for me.
