Mantis Block and Counter with Half Steps

Once again today I am using ‘half steps’.

To or from neutral is one half of a shuffle (hence a ‘half step’).

I block with one hand, pause and counter with the other.

I go both forward and backward.

While speed is absolutely necessary; it should be the result of practice (not the point of it).

The point is to be able to use this against a hostile aggressive attacker without thinking about it.
