Defender and Attacker face each other at kicking range. Both lead with their left legs.
The Attacker slides in and shoots his left leg as a Side Kick into the Defender’s Lower Torso and follows with a strong Lead Backfist to the head.
The Defender steps back (his rear leg first) slightly. As he withdraws, he blocks down and back with his Lead Arm in a parrying motion that redirects the kick to the side. He follows this up with a rear arm Outside Palm Block against the backfist.
Unlike yesterday, the Defender does not shuffle forward. He is close enough to use is lead arm to punches low then high while covering /guarding with his rear hand.
At this point he withdraws.
In the last three defenses, it is the distance of the counterattack takes changes. It is the same defense and even the same counter. However, the full step, short step or no step that changes in order to maintain the optimum distance for the defender.

Mirror Image Side Kick Defense 3rd Variation
http://youtu.be/vhcqzWLVPqw
Attacker and Defender face each other in mirror stances (right leading stance against left leading).
The kicker slides in, his lead leg Side Kicks to the groin and then he drops forward as he launches a Lead Arm Backfist to the head.
Like yesterday; the defender withdraws back to a Left Leading Cat stance and using his right arm Blocks the back of the kicking leg with a downward Parry. This parry blocks back along the kicking leg and guides it slightly off course beside the target.
This is immediately followed by a Lead Arm Outside Palm Block against the Backfist to his head.
Only at this time does the defender step forward with his lead leg and punch to the body with his rear arm. Using his lead arm, he pulls the attacker’s lead arm down and punches the attacker again, this time in the head before withdrawing.

Mirror Image Side Kick Defense 2nd Variation
http://youtu.be/JTZcXLtxx64
Attacker and Defender face each other in mirror stances (right leading stance against left leading).
The kicker slides in, his lead leg Side Kicks to the groin and then he drops his leg to the ground. This time he stays, perhaps to kick again.
Like yesterday; the defender withdraws back to a Left Leading Cat stance and using his right arm Blocks the back of the kicking leg with a downward Parry. This parry blocks back along the kicking leg and guides it slightly off course beside the target.
Before the kicker withdraws or kicks again (as he lowers his kicking leg), the defender follows with a shifting forward offset kick to the kickers own groin. The defender takes care to keep a good distance from the attacker when countering.
The main difference between yesterday and today; the kicker moved back just out of range yesterday. Today, he stays at kicking range. In both scenarios, it is apparent that the kicker is dangerous throughout the drill.

Floating Block with Spin kick Counter 3rd Variation
http://youtu.be/Q6GB-pbnnCk
As before, the attacker comes in with a powerful roundhouse kick to the front of the defender. This is followed up by a lead jab to the head and rear thrust punch to the body.
The defender performs a floating block against the kick. He turns this into an inside block against the jab which is followed by a mantis block against the punch to the body.
At this point the defender turns toward the attacker and punches twice before withdrawing far enough to spin and drive his back kick into the attacker.
