• As the punch comes in, do a left step forward while you do a right block and a left punch to the kidneys at the same time.
• Do a left parry and deliver a back knuckle to the kidney.
• Use your left hand to move the arm down then execute a right claw to the face then keep circling to end up hitting the back of the knee.
• Then finish the technique with a right kick to the back of the left leg.
