Learn how to do a Reverse Punch With Sliding Step
VIDEO: Here’s a demonstration of holding back or reserving a punch with the help of a sliding step.
I have done a very similar video to this before about maximising the thrust in the reverse punch (gyaka zuki).

Judo (meaning "gentle way") is a modern martial art, combat and Olympic sport created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Its most prominent feature is its competitive element, where the objective is to either throw or takedown an opponent to the ground, immobilize or otherwise subdue an opponent with a pin, or force an opponent to submit with a joint lock or a choke. Strikes and thrusts by hands and feet as well as weapons defenses are a part of judo, but only in pre-arranged forms (kata,) and are not allowed in judo competition or free practice. A judo practitioner is called a judoka.
