Concept: Defensive Approach and Positioning Drill

Stay low the entire time. Do not rise up at the end of the approach—keep a strong, low stance from start to finish.

Don’t wait—react. Don’t stand and think. Just read the attacker’s move and react quickly.

Use quick feet. Keep your feet moving in short, fast steps to stay balanced and ready to adjust.
