We did all that in my yesterday class. I will put up clips to prove it.

I never said you didn't.

Since you "did all that," we agree.

Since you understand my meaning of mimic (by varying), I don't understand you're saying you disagree with something I didn't say.

In my last Friday class, we tested:

- A uses rhino guard to attack.
- B uses parry (or outside in block) to push the rhino guard arms to the side, and uses wheeling step (back leg step to the side, front leg spin behind the back leg) to spin the body out of the attacking path.

The moment that B's arm (or hand) contacts on A's rhino guard arms, the moment B's head is exposed. A can then separates his arms, obtain a head lock on A's head right at that moment.

How is that not leaving the midsection massively exposed for a heel kick? Or a simple front kick up the centerline? Any halfway competent kickboxer/striker should be able to pull either of those off while moving backwards.

Of course whoever uses this strategy also has to train how to catch a kicking leg.
