Simultaneous Rising Block and Counter Punch

There is a double change of pace here today. We are facing opposite directions and the block is done while counter punching.

The simultaneous block / counter feels less powerful than when they are done one after the other. However, there are several real advantages to this practice.

In my opinion both classical approaches (in a bow facing each other, etc) and so-called ‘Reality-Based’ approaches have their place and both should be explored.
