The Seventh Grip Mantis Block then Counters

 http://youtu.be/KML9XN_vn90
Like yesterday; I start in a forward bow with my cane in my lead arm at punching distance.

Unlike yesterday, this block covers my torso against a punch to my body.

I grip my cane in the middle (the seventh grip).

This time I execute a mantis block and return the cane to my hip (as shown).

This allows me to follow up with a second counter.

Only then do I use my other arm to counter punch.

I follow the punch with a forehand strike with the cane and reset.

As I have said; the entire drill is as much about moving the cane around as it is about conflict.

Without prejudice
