As a general rule, the Hidari-men defence will allow a Men or Do attack whilst the reverse Migi-men defence will allow all three attacks in reply. The Kote-uke-dome is performed lower at the hip and can be followed by Kote or Men and the same applies to Do. They are signified as Men-uke-dome-men or the attack, the action, and the reply, whichever may be appropriate.
