Block-Counter Swing

http://youtu.be/UlJeM-HpEA8

This is yet a different rhythm. Done solo it feels like it is a simultaneous block with counter.

Applied with a partner, the rhythm is one and a half. The counter starts at the same time as the block but it is a big heavy counter and it takes longer to complete than the block does. The rhythm is one (they start together) and (the block finishes) a half (the counter finishes).

This defense works best against a hard driving punch and it is dangerous to the defender. The timing and distance must be impeccable. A strong recovery is also a must.

Without prejudice
