This technique teaches you how to use a two touch block. It also introduces you to the Windmill block and a step wheel kick. There are many follow up techniques that we use with this opening. The C variation is just one way this type of block could be used in the streets.
The block should be quick, tap tap followed by a wheel kick. When it comes to the Wheel kick you can kick with your shin, or toes, you can target the groin or solar plexus depending on the type of shoes you are wearing and your surroundings. This should be two motions the step with the Windmill block followed by the kick letting the forward momentum generate power to the kick.
When throwing the wheel kick make sure your shoulders and hips stay lined up and your kicking knee does not go past your supporting knee. Watch your critical distance line as you will need enough room to throw the kick so make sure you are stepping out far enough to not jam your kick, but close enough that you still can block and initiate a technique.
