In the pattern "Strike Tiger Poise", the hands must be away from the opponent's kicking leg

?Striking Tiger Poise? is a very useful pattern, but it must be performed correctly with good timing and spacing. You should not be hasty in performing this pattern in combat against kicks as you will have sufficient time to do so because the opponent needs time to adjust himself to execute the kick. It is important that you place your hands far away from the kick. Indeed, hands are no necessary in this pattern, unless you wish to strike your opponent?s kicking leg with your fist. Correct body-movement and good footwork are crucial for a successful application of the pattern.
