Inside Hooking Block and then Multiple Counter Attacks

http://youtu.be/v2aN8tIea7k

My lead arm performs an Inside Hooking Block. Then I pause (or block again with the same arm). Only then do I perform three counter punches (at different heights). I finish with an Offset Snap Kick at the groin height before withdrawing.

As I did yesterday, the pause between the initial block and the counter attack is deliberate. There are other tactics when I perform the counter much quicker (or even simultaneously with the block). The pause in this drill is so that I can block again if necessary.

Learning to throw multiple counter attacks is simply one skill that this drill enforces. Learning to work the four different rhythms is another (the first block and pause and one rhythm, the three counters is a second rhythm , the shift away offset kick is the third rhythm and the step down and back if the fourth rhythym).

Without prejudice
