Avoid taking a big step drag backwards. Instead, use a controlled step that allows you to maximize torso movement and create distance from the incoming attack without overcommitting your footwork.
Execute a rear cross simultaneously with your block as the kick comes in. The rear cross maximizes the amount of space you can move your torso, the target area your opponent is attacking, allowing you to evade more effectively.
