1.5tempo technique against Mae geri #2: Similar technique with cross leg footwork

Asai-ryu karate: India Mumbai seminar in 2019 Kumite: 浅井流空手・インド・ムンバイ講習会2019年: 組手・前蹴りに対する1.5拍子の簡単な技その弐：足を交差して下がる運足 The technique I posted yesterday was with an easy footwork of stepping straight back. What I share today is a little more challenging footwork for the intermediate practitioners. The block is Nagashi uke but the arm travels inside of your body line (opposite from Gedan barai direction). Just as the yesterday's technique, you need to move your block arm in a large circular motion. There should be no pause between the block and the counter. It must be one smooth motion. I demonstrated both inside and outside applications. Practice inside application first, then try outside application. For the Asai karate intermediate practitioners, it is very important for them to learn the 1.5tempo kumite before they advance to 1.0tempo kumite.
