Striking Attack is countered by which escape?

• A. Bicycle Kicks
• B. The Triple Threat
• C. Hammer & Bar
• D. Bridge & Roll Escape

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is to break the attacker’s grip or forward pressure and create immediate space using a fast, leg-driven escape. A Bicycle Kicks escape fits this aim because the rapid, circular leg motion disrupts the attacker’s balance and grip, allowing you to pivot out of range and reestablish a safer distance. This move leverages momentum from the legs to neutralize the incoming strike rather than relying on slower or more stationary defenses, which is crucial when a strike is closing in.

Other options don’t deliver the same instantaneous disengagement or space creation. They may focus on control or position without rapidly breaking contact, leaving you exposed to the strike or unable to reorient quickly enough. The Bicycle Kicks escape directly counters the attack by freeing you from grips and placing you in a better angle to continue, which is why it’s the best answer.
