Top Tips
Student: When you extend your right arm, you can protect your chin from a hook with your shoulder.
Kru: You can help to create a more forceful impact by continuing to pull down on your opponent’s head.
Master: Protect yourself at all times. Use your left arm to cover up so you’re not caught with a counter right hand.
