(Possible teaching cues)

	Here we have Mark ready to defend.  Some good teaching cues to help students acquire the proper technique: -Bent knees, shoulder width apart or even wider - Hands up - Square to opponent
When defender moves laterally, the lead foot should be the foot closest  to the direction of travel. Their feet should not cross over. Cue- step and slide , step and slide A demonstration may be used                  HOME PAGE
