Drill 4 of 5 · 10 min
Step Off the Line and Enter
Break the teep's line of fire by removing your body from the center before you step in to score.
How to practice
- Partner holds pads and teeps lightly as you stand at kicking range.
- Step 45 degrees off line as the teep comes, letting it extend into empty space.
- From the new angle, step in with a jab-cross before their foot returns to the floor.
- Drill the sequence 20 times: step off, enter, combination, exit.
- Alternate angles: sometimes step outside the lead foot, sometimes inside, based on their hip turn.
- Finish with one round where the partner teeps at unpredictable times and you score only on angled entries.

Common mistakes
- Stepping in straight and eating the teep your angle was meant to dodge
- Stepping off without entering, wasting the defensive movement
- Always angling the same direction until they time the teep to the angle
