Investigation>
How can you cope with the straight puch? You should be able to see the opponent's
attack before his success. But you cannot. Why? Because you don't know what
you have to see on your opponent. Usually, the beginner always the opponent's
fist. But you have to see his shoulders and eyes. Finally, you should see the
up-triangle on him. Then you can know the time of his attack before actual attack, for every powerful punch follows a shake of the shoulder. Seeing his eyes you can know the direction of his punch. It is easy to say these, but difficult to do it at first, especially for a beginner. For it is a matter of habit. So it needs somewhat much exercise. Another reason is that you fear his punch. So you focus on what you fear. But the end part of a body is too changeful to follow its movement exactly. You must see the core or center of the change. It is simple.
The direction <2> appears like this.
The main reason of bad pose is that your leg is not strong enough to stay bent down. It means you didn't practiced hard training. Usually, to bend down your upper body is bad. It reveals many faulty factors
to your opponent. The last picture shows the better pose of direction <3>. The defender dropped his waist, not his shoulder. His legs are fully bent down, and he approached a little to the attacker. Then he can see the attackers trunk directly, close to his eyes and his fists. It means you, after avoided the opponent's fist, you can open his whole trunk just in front of you. In that case, it is easy for you to strike the opponent's stomach or grap his feet to fell him down. If he kick you with his knees, however, it would not be so difficult to block it, for your hands are near to them.
