Simultaneous Mantis Block with Counter Punch

This time I have both hands held high.

The attack is a straight right punch to the body.

I drop my left down on his incoming right as I counter to his face.

Simultaneous Outside Palm Block with Counter Punch

This drill is practiced against a quick left jab.

Therefore my blocking arm must already be in position.

If I have to raise my arm up to ‘get ready to block’; I’ll be too late.

Simultaneous Inside Block with Counter Punch

This is similar to yesterdays drill.

Instead of a rising block I’m using an inside hooking block.

The idea is to draw out my attacker’s straight right punch to my face.

I hit both his attacking limb and his body at the same time.

Simultaneous Rising Block with Counter Punch

This week I’m practicing a stationary simultaneous block with counter punch.

The block is executed at the same time as the counter punch.
