1.- Defending a downward stick attack, «ready» entering

A stick attack is another common situation we might encounter.

When an attacker approaches armed with a stick (or similar object), the most important thing is to close the distance.

A stick exerts greater impact force at its end, so if we move our body closer to initiate the technique, we lessen the damage the blow could cause.

In this lesson, the opponent launches a downward attack at approximately a 45-degree angle.
