Back: Offensive Hand Fighting

2-on-2 (Phase 2) is the most common phase of hand fighting you will see, it is characterised by a straight-forward 2-on-2 battle, in which the attacker has two hands to attack, and the defender has two to defend. It’s as close to an even contest as you will get in the Back position.
