    With JJ, if you are near enough, you dodge all in the same movement. With assassins, you only need to dodge the kick with your dodge attack. With other characters, you canīt, you must double-dodge. You can dodge the kick, and if he feints the grab, press the "guard mode" button to go out. If you are out of stamina, you must guess.

    1) you can make a roll out as mentioned before.
    2) it's a guessing game :-) usually you see a unblock icon and press dodge. And the grab catches you. If you predict that he will go for kick-to-grab - you wait till the grab animation start, and only then dodge.

    If you know he will go for it, you can just light attack him out of it. Works when you're out of stamina too against spammy Highlanders

    the easy way out is dodge the kick and if he soft feint it to grab then roll

    that if you dont have dodge attacks with i frame
    heroes like orochi tiandi kensei berserker etc
    you can always dodge attack immediately when he goes for the kick and the grab wont work

    but dont do it too often only against his kick , not his ub ^^
