A guarded way to get back to your feet without giving up distance. One hand and the opposite foot hold you up while the other leg travels behind you.

Key steps
- Come up to sitting with one palm on the mat behind your hip.
- Hold the other arm out in front of your face to keep them off you.
- Set the foot on the side of your raised arm flat on the floor.
- Raise your hips off the mat and thread the straight leg back between your hand and foot.
- Rise into your fighting stance, hands still up.
Key details
- Swing the leg back, not forward; stepping forward walks you into them.
- Keep distance with your front hand or foot the whole time.
