Moderately early: the defender is able to send the hands and get his weight very

               much forward, but there is minimal foot movement at the beginning.

               Moderately late: the defender is able to send the hands forward and get some
               weight into the defense and counter, but with no footsteps at all.

               Very late: the defender succeeds in making the 360º Defense and
               counterattacking, but without much forward shift of weight. In this case, the
               defender gets as much weight into the defense and counter as possible.


               This last detail underscores an important element of Krav Maga training. All
               movements should cause the defender’s weight to move forward so that, even in
               very late stages, you are in the habit of putting as much weight as possible into
               the defense and counterattack. From all states of readiness, the defender must
               move forward aggressively, regardless of his ability (or inability) to move his
               feet.
