Four has been problematic for me for a while. Why step back? One roundhouse knocks your opponent over? What’s with the ground sequence? Someone in authority actually told me you were trying to land with your feet on their face to flay their flesh .
Bruce Corrigan posted a clip of him punching in for Walter Godin ages ago. I think Bruce caught a finger to the eye for his troubles. It was a simple redirect with an eye poke, and no ground shenanigans.
I try for the middle ground, keeping the general spirit, but curating torwards simplicity and functionality.
