COUNTER TO REAR ROUND KICK WITH CATCH

จับและโยน

When the opponent throws a rear round kick to your body, catch the shin under your armpit rather than blocking. The catch traps the leg, shifts the opponent's balance entirely onto their standing leg, and gives you several attack options: a cross to the face, a round kick to the standing leg, or a sweep that puts them on the canvas. Catching is far more rewarding than blocking when the timing is right.

KEY POINTS

01Catch the kick with the arm nearest the kicking leg
02Trap the shin high and tight
03Step forward into the opponent, not backward
04Counter immediately — do not hold the leg statically
05Finish with a kick, cross, or sweep

COMMON MISTAKES

✕Catching the foot and losing grip
✕Stepping backward after the catch
✕Holding the leg without countering
✕Losing balance forward into the opponent
