I lift my knee as I bend my leg and snap my hips slightly forward and as I straighten the leg I drive the top of my foot into my attackers groin.
I make it a point to withdraw it quickly so it does not get trapped between his legs.
I usually execute this kick in one of three different ways at a beginning level.
I can shuffle in and kick with my lead leg.
I can turn my lead foot slightly and kick with my rear leg as I shift forward
I can shift my weight back onto my rear leg (without moving it) and kick with my lead leg.

When I am using this kick as a power move, I am somewhat slower with it but what I lose in speed I make up for in power.
However, like all power moves, it must to set up with proper timing and distance or it can be used against me.

Lead Arm Block with Rear Arm Forehand Hammerfist Counter
http://youtu.be/jiegl8XR0R4
I demonstrate this tactic while covering my head and upper torso from Forefist thrusts.
The basic idea is that I give my attacker a target to the head or torso in this case.
As he tries to punch it I block his punch with my lead arm and simultaneously counter with my rear arm using a Rear Arm Forehand Hammerfist.
Once again; for this review, I am using the six basic head and torso blocks.
Again, the rhythm is ‘one’.
For the last six days I have reviewed six different ways to follow up on the six basic blocks against punches to the head and torso from punching range.

Simultaneous Rear Arm Block with Lead Arm Rolling Hammerfist
http://youtu.be/oJ6auoBS8PU
Today I use my rear arm to block a punch while I roll my lead arm into a backhand hammerfist attacker.
If I wish to follow up on this, I roll the same lead arm up into another backhand hammerfist to the attacker’s head. I finish with a shift away kick to the groin.
The trick is to practice it enough both with cooperating partners and uncooperative partners to make work without thought.

Block Check Counter
http://youtu.be/9JFul6A0660
Just like the last two days; I demonstrate this tactic while covering my head and upper torso from Forefist thrusts.
Again, I give my attacker a target and in this case he tries to punch it with a hard driving thrust.
I block his punch.
I use my other arm to ‘check’ his arm (hold it in place for a fraction of a second).
Then I use my blocking arm to punch.
If I have blocked with my lead arm, I have no need to torque my hips into my punch.
However, if I have used my rear arm to block then I need to torque my rear arm into my counter or I will not be able to reach my attacker.
At this point I could be using follow up attacks depending upon the circumstances.
The rhythm is ‘one-two-three’.
As with all my techniques, these are hard driving blows that feel light and easy (until they land;).

Block Counter
http://youtu.be/0SU0YvkBYvQ
Again, I use the same blocks I used yesterday to cover my head and upper torso from Forefist thrusts.
This time I use a different tactic.
Just like yesterday; I give my attacker a target. In this case he tries to punch it.
I block his punch.
This time there is no pause between the block and the punch. Today my counter travels only a few inches and uses the same arm I blocked with.
This tactic is very fast and it works well but is a big surprise to the attacker when it works best.
The rhythm is one, two.

Block and Counter
http://youtu.be/A-4YqWVigZo
I demonstrate this tactic while covering my head and upper torso from Forefist thrusts.
However, it can be used in a variety of ways.
The basic idea is that I give my attacker a target. In this case he tries to punch it.
I block his punch.
Then there is a pause between the block and the punch. During this pause I could be blocking or evading follow up attacks.
This tactic works for those times when a block is required but…and it is a big but…the counter is late.
The rhythm is one AND two.
