Low wrap kneeling

Most kneeling fighters are aware of the standard attacks against them. They know that a wrapshot is the most likely shot to hit them when the opponent is standing on top of them. Therefor they raise their shield to protect the head exposing the belly. By taking advantage of that, this clip shows how to set the kneeling opponent up for a low wrapshot aimed towards the exposed belly.
