Kneeling Lead Downward Block and Slide in Counter Kick

http://youtu.be/cNtd_8VhXq0
Again I am facing my opponent in ‘poor position play’; left versus right or right versus left.

He slides in and delivers an offset kick to the outside of my thigh.

I kneel down and drive my forearm into his incoming leg.

The arm and the weight of my body combine to form a powerful defense.

I follow up with my own slide in counter kick.
