[Yuan manages to catch the blow on his sword, but the impact close to his center of mass doesn't provide him much leverage - his fighting style relies a lot on his opponent providing his sword with momentum, and the way that blow landed isn't giving him much to work with. He shoves Kratos back forcefully, then drops for a ground-sweeping kick. Ideally he'll knock Kratos off his feet entirely - at the very least, he's aiming to unbalance him.]
