The attack is supposed to be a lead jab to the centre of the body (solar plexus). The defense is to reach out across the body and block down before countering.
For the first half of this drill, it goes as planned…
The second half (about twenty five seconds in); things go unexpectedly awry. The lead thrusting attack to the body becomes a rear thrusting attack.
Yet the defense remains the same (lead Crossdownward block). This is a perfect example of ‘zone defense’. The block covers a specific portion of the body against a variety of similar attacks.
Without prejudice
