Sliding back and double kick from closed stance against a front leg atttack.
The korean term is moolo doobal dangsang Chagi. Moolo is back step, doobal dangsang chagi is double kick.
The first step is to read your opponent's innitiative and move your entire body backward by sliding back. The second step is to stop his movement with your double roundhouse kick, by roundhouse kicking first with your rear foot and then throwing a powerful roundhouse with the other leg. The primary target is the middle section.
In competition, you can stop your opponent's innitiative by using cut-kick with your front foot instead of sliding back. Then follow up with a double kick.
