5th Grip: Block and Counter against a Front Kick

I am standing in a Forward Bow.

The Cane is held across my body in the 5th Grip at about abdomen height.

I shift back to a Cat as I snap the end of the can down and across (as shown).

Then I advance quickly and drive out a counter strike (a cross check in this instance).
