is it bad etiquette to "push away" push/cut kicks with your hands?
many people who I spar with love to counter me with push/cut kicks. I don't blame them - I'm slow, I'm open and i've got terrible reflexes, lol.
i realized that with my arms and hands, I can push these kicks away to the side, protecting myself from the kick and leaving them open.
Is this a legal way to block? is it good etiquette?
