Marcelo and Marcus help Kanan understand an important concept when applying a technique: An attacking move isn't complete until your opponent concedes and ceases reaction. Oftentimes, players that garner success with a particular technique will stop themselves short when a savvy opponent doesn't conform to their expectations. Keep moving until your opponent cannot appropriately defend your attack and you objectively conquer the position. If well-timed, a Knee-Slide Pass may finish as soon as you land on the opposite side of your opponent's guard; however, don't conflate this result with the effectiveness of your initial attack. If your opponent counters your Knee-Slide by framing, run yourself around and drive into them while pummeling your head and arms for a clinch. If they manage to insert their leg back inside, quickly swat it away before it can take effect and push you out of control.
