In the Single Post technique, what is the follow-through after impact?

• A. Step Diagonally Back
• B. Explode Backwards Off The Front Leg Away From Subject
• C. Apply A Wrist Lock
• D. Hold Stance

Answer: (B)

After impact in this technique, the most effective follow-through is to explode backwards off the front leg away from the subject. This uses the momentum from the strike to drive your body back quickly, creating immediate distance and a solid base for the next move. It keeps you out of range of a counter, resets your stance, and puts you in a ready position to defend, disengage, or launch another technique as needed. Other paths after impact don’t achieve the same balance of distance and readiness. Stepping diagonally back can create an angle, but it often doesn’t fully maximize space or reset your posture as effectively. Holding your stance is too static and leaves you vulnerable to a follow-up. Trying to apply a wrist lock right after impact shifts into a control move prematurely and isn’t the appropriate follow-through after a strike aimed at disengaging and creating space.
