Simultaneous Lead Arm Block with Rear Arm Counter Hammer Strike

Again,  this is practiced at two different distances. I am either am finger tip distance or I am at palm heel distance. Both are measured by facing the bag and extending both arms out in front until I am touching the bag.

I generally regard fingertip distance as free sparring distance while palm heel distance is closer to the range I would be at if the encounter took place in a self-defense setting.

I do my best to practice this drill at both distances as both have advantages and weaknesses.

This particular version of the simultaneous block with counter involves a hammering backfist to the bridge of the nose or a Hammerfist to the short ribs.  This is a somewhat deceptively mild looking counter. If it lands, this counter is anything but mild and the poisyion I find myself in lends itself to multiple follow-ups.

Without prejudice
