Inside Block and Counter with Steps Drill

Similar to yesterday’s drill.

Today I execute a half step then block and then counter.

Also today I am only going forward.

It is the doing that counts.

Rising Block and Counter with Steps Drill

Basic Rising Block, slight pause and counter while stepping.

This looks simple and done solo, it is.

The real challenge is applying it with an uncooperative opponent.

A Fifth Multiple Block then Multiple Counter Drill

Today I defend against two jabs to the face.

As I guard against the jab, I lower my rear hand out of the way.

While this does free up my rear hand to block or counter; it also leaves that side of my head exposed.

Returning to the ‘Guard’ (both hand up) after the drill is an important must.

A Fourth Multiple Block then Combination Counter Drill

Again today the attacker starts with a jab to the body and finishes with his rear fist to the face.

I use my lead arm to slap the jab down with a Crossdownward Palm Block.

But this time I follow up with an Inside Block and then the  same arm counter punch to his face.

I follow up with three more punches.

Another Multiple Block Multiple Counter Drill

This drill is used against a jab to the face and a cross to the body.

It is very similar to what I did yesterday.

I use my lead arm to block twice and counter once.

Again I add three more counters on top of that.

As I said yesterday: this drill is not ‘set in stone’.

Therefore, I today my second block to low.

Also, I vary the targets when I execute my follow up counters (at speed).

Again, it is the timing and placement that I concentrate on when working the drill solo.

One Multiple Block Multiple Counter Drill

This drill is used against a jab cross combination to the face.

I use my lead arm to block twice and follow up counter.

Then I add three more counters on top of that.

It is just a drill; it is not ‘set in stone’.

Therefore I am free to change pieces of it as the situation requires.

I concentrate on timing and placement when working the drill solo.
