In a tournament situation, you're facing your opponent on the balls of your feet.	As your opponent lunges in with a back knuckle, drop to the ground.
As you drop under his strike, place a side kick in your opponent's mid-section.	Hold the kick in to emphasize the score and prevent your opponent from reaching you.
Reload your kick, so you can be ready for further attacks.

Make sure you've timed your opponent's attacks before you try this move. Don't try to lower yourself down. You have to drop and slap out as you kick. This technique also works well with an opponent throwing a lot of high kicks. You can drop and kick to the groin very effectively. Remember, it's all or nothing with this technique. If you time it wrong, you're in a bad position, and you can only use it once. Have fun, and send email telling us what you think.
