Interception

This is done against any kind of attack at the Entry phase.

STOP HIT
Against a wide hook punch we intercept with a STOP HIT to the face.
This can be a Choy blast, power jab, or eye jab

KEN KUDAKI
Against a closed line punch, such as jab or cross, we INTECEPT the punch allowing it to run into the elbow, breaking the attacker's hand.

KICKS
Against an attacker who steps forward, we kick the shin of the lead leg as soon as it comes into range - longest weapon to closest target.
This can be a boot cap or side of shoe to the shin or knee, or a round kick to yako or fukato point on the leg.

Against a wide round kick we can intercept by kicking the groin or supporting leg.

Against a puncher we just drift back to kick range, out of range of his punch, and kick the lead leg or groin.

WE do NOT do these moves in sparring, these are Street Combat moves.

Interception in sparring is done with straight lead punch or kick to the body, and done safely.
