I'm 6-4 and I've found it very difficult to execute Evading the Storm against my classmates who are shorter than me. What I mean by this is that it almost feels silly for me to get my body in such a low, crouched position in order to use a high block as my block of the overhead club attack. (I was not taught to crouch, it's just that this is physically necessary if I'm to use a high block)
When most people's head is at my shoulder level, you can imagine how low I have to be to have a high block executed against such a person.
Given this, what is the best thing to do for someone who is tall and wishes to block an overhead club attack?
I'm only an orange belt, so I realize there may be later techniques that address this. However, unlike other techniques that I can slightly modify (i.e. use knee instead of front kick) my height seems to prevent me from using this technique as well as my shorter classmates can.
Thanks in advance.
