Perfect. If you get boxed in, do not try to a) muscle your way out, or b) pass underneath. Only bad things will happen. That said, they are usually very clean. In the beginner bush leagues (me), guys going
Senko (me) will string it out, and get passed coming out of final turn by a big Makuri like Carleton.
