Block and Counter from the 5th Grip

I defend against a punch to the face.

I start facing sparring partner at punching distance with the cane across my body in the 5th Grip.

Swinging the tip across my face, I deflect the punch to the side.

I rechamber and crosscheck to the body.

This is followed by a swing with the point to the side of the head.

The real danger in applying this drill in freesparring is twofold.

I am close enough for my sparring partner to smother my cane with his free hand.

My arms are both down and I am vulnerable right from the start.
