1- FRONT KICK DEFENSE: For the front push kick defense your goal is to catch the kick and then quickly lift it vertically while driving your opponent backward for the counter throw.

3- FRONT HIGH KICK DEFENSE: The high front kick defense is similar to the previous technique with the exception that the elevated leg is easy to catch after the slip. This leg control lends itself to massive counter takedowns like the below Osoto-Guruma leg sweeping throw.
