Here are three ambush scenarios.  What they have in common is that the defender is surprised, flinches and then turns into the attack hitting kicking as he or she drives forward even when on the ground.

Please Note:  The baby shown crawling around was placed very gently on the floor between taking of the still  photos used to compile this animation.  His father was just out of the camera frame watching the baby!
