Mantis Block/Check/Counter

http://youtu.be/Jibny9DOP1s
Again, my attacker and I are facing each other with the same leg forward (left versus left).

I am facing my attacker in a Forward Bow with both shoulder square and both hands in the high guard.

This drill is practiced against his rear arm performing a rear arm straight punch to the lead side of the body.

I execute a Mantis Block with my lead arm. I check his still extended arm with my rear arm at the same time I counterpunch with my lead arm.

Then I follow up with several more counter punches before withdrawing.

Giving the attacker a target and then taking it away is absolutely vital to making this drill work.

Without prejudice
