- Try to fall on your side, not your front or back.<\/li>\n
- Safely absorb the shock with the palm of the hand on the ground.<\/li>\n
- avoid hitting the head.<\/li>\n
- Legs high.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
Don\u2019t just throw your opponent to the ground during training, you do not want to hurt him.<\/p>\n

- Lying<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
Attacker with weapons<\/span><\/h4>\n
You are attacked with a weapon (s). Dodging is the most appropriate move, but you’re not safe enough.<\/p>\n
Try to let the opponent make an additional “step”. To be so close to him (or to the weapon according to your placement) makes it easier to finish your counterattack.<\/p>\n
Pihagi (= evade, avoid) is important. Left or right, but not back in line. Block against the arm or hand, but not against the weapon (don\u2019t touch the weapon when blocking, especially when blocking knives).<\/p>\n
