The man had parried as Cade figured he would. Instead of continuing with his saber he drove of with his left foot in a straight punch towards the miraluka's nose. When he did this the rotation of his body snapping back would create more force as if he had been spinning. Cades right hand also came down in a guard position as his punch was thrown guarding his flank in case the opponents saber would reach before his punch did. The punch was not full force, but did have some power behind it.
