That's almost what Scapper's #1 said, Dog. That's basically the same as "facing him/her initially". Scrappy just left out the "both feet on the floor part.

Bad Scrappy. Bad, bad Scrappy!

Good addition.

Also....the guard doesn't have to be facing the opponent either when the contact occurs. He can turn or duck to absorb the contact.
