Negativa (low evasion)

Biomechanics: what the body does

A low evasion that “negates” an attack: the player drops to the ground on one side, with the leg nearest the floor tucked to the chest and the other leg stretched out. One hand on the floor holds the body weight, and the other arm stays up to protect the face. From here the player can hook the supporting leg of a kicker to sweep them, or hop and switch sides.
