We're going to come in here and catch it where it would normally be. Now just continue to rotate that hand out. You can see he's already beginning to rotate his entire body. My goal on this is to put his knuckles, these knuckles right here, rotate them completely over, to drive him to the ground. I'm here. Right here. I'm blending with the attack. Close the gap.
