Then they would have reacted to the threat differently. The Dodge of the punch turns his head so he doesn't see the advancing leg.

It would have been over after the first move instead of taking three moves.

John and I only care about what works. 1 is better than 1-2 which is better than 1-2-3.

But Typically as soon as you up the skill level...the person defending will: 1) match the attackers footwork and step back to adjust as much as he steals forwards. 2) the defender will block/grab the diag arm before it ever reaches his chest.
Thus the effect will be to stabilize and become neutral. In my school...i teach this as "My dear old friend" and believe it or not, (this neutral position) happens allot in standing sparring.
How we enter next...something i work on allot.
everything wrote:It depends right. Machida liked to use these kinds of cross the body takedowns. Sometimes he got a leg or the other. Sometimes not. But I think he often did plan it one step ahead, but more as an "attack by drawing" rather than "progressive indirect attack" to borrow from Bruce Lee terms. Other times, it's kind of just there. In the second part of this gif, he doesn't really do the throw as cleanly as in the first, looks more like "press", but it works out, and he does catch a leg. First throw, it seems more that he "bumps" the hip of his opponent and makes the guy's hip go over his bump.
