happenstance

Really, I can't make much sense of this posture, even from my recollections. I do recall following up a few situations where I got into trouble like this with some mini hook-kicks to the belly, from my right leg, so it is possible that this is what I was about to do. That is probably why I am angling myself in this way. (Because, generally my way of getting out of trouble is either a spinning back fist or a mini hook kick.) What we do see, however, is that Mike has learned to step offline in order to avoid being punched.



Here's another one with sloppy guard position. Gotta admire my ability to get in there with the overarm punch, though.
