Deflect down and strike

Jechyeo chigi (제쳐치기) is a kumdo technique. According to the technical text of the Korea Kumdo Association (대한검도회), it consists of striking the opponent's jukdo (죽도), whether the opponent is pressing or coming in to strike, down to the lower right or lower left, and then striking directly.

On dojo pages that reproduce the association's material, it is listed alongside other response techniques such as seuchyeoollyeochigi (스쳐올려치기), badachigi (받아치기) and hechyeonagagi (헤쳐나가기).

Variants described:

• Meori jechyeo meori chigi (머리제쳐 머리치기): the opponent strikes the head (meori); you push the jukdo aside to the left and strike the head.
• Sonmok jechyeo meori chigi (손목제쳐 머리치기): you knock the jukdo coming for your wrist (sonmok) down, from the upper left diagonally to the lower right, and strike the head at once.
• Heori jechyeo meori chigi (허리제쳐 머리치기): against a strike to your right waist (heori), you turn the body to the left with the left foot, knock the jukdo down, push off with the right foot and strike the head.
• Jjireum jechyeo meori chigi (찌름제쳐 머리치기): against a thrust to the throat, you knock the jukdo down diagonally, from upper right to lower left or from upper left to lower right, and strike the head.

Points of attention given in the source: adapt the downward strike to the distance and speed of the attack, use the wrist joint well, and twist with the waist and feet when knocking the jukdo down.
