The Rising Block

http://youtu.be/1BvtUQ18xB0

I use this strike to an incoming punch to my face.

I am set and drawing the attack.

I block as the attack is incoming by driving the punch upwards.

This is a light quick smooth yet powerful move that must be timed correctly and done in practice to the point that it will work without conscious thought.

This is not meant to be used against a weapon nor is meant to be used against an overhand strike (like one to the top of my head).

It is used against a straight punch to the face.

Without prejudice
