Bruce's grip on Jenso's arm caught on his wrist as he pulled back, forcing a change in Bruce's balance so that he leaned forward toward Jenso. His right hand started to move to intercept Jenso's feint, but the split-second of being off-balance actually aided him in avoiding Jenso's sweeping kick. He latched onto Jenso's left shoulder with his right hand, released his grip on his wrist, and using the momentum of the forward fall, he kicked off the ground such that he flipped over Jenso's head and landing behind him.

Bruce whirled around to face Jenso's back once he touched down, bringing up his right arm under Jenso's shoulder in an attempt to get it in a lock.
