Mantis Block with Cane and Follow-ups

This is done from a Forward Bow.

I snap my Cane around in a Mantis style block as I punch with my other arm

At this point I wind up with the cane (as shown) and drive out several more counters.

I stand at punching distance in a Forward Bow with my hands as shown.

I block a punch to my head with the Cane using an Outside Block.

Then I use the same hand to counter (also the same portion of the cane I used for blocking).

I follow up a flurry of punches and cane strikes (as shown).

Inside Hooking Block with the Cane and Follow-ups

 http://youtu.be/VgIo8z_Kw0M
This time I use the cane in the middle grip by performing an Inside Hooking Block against a punch to the face.

I continue the arc of the block and convert it into a forehand swing to the side of the attacker’s head.

At this point I punch with the other hand.

Then I alternate between punches and forehand cane swings.

After that I withdraw to a safe distance.

Holding the cane in the middle, I use it to execute  a rising block. Then I counter with my bare fist.

These are followed with several other counters before I disengage.

I block across my body as I lift and drive my rear hand over and around in a Forehand Ridgehand Swing.

At this point, as I have shown in my other vids this week, I either step as I swing or stay still and counter.

Simultaneous Crossdownward Palm Block with Hammerfist Counter and Follow-ups

 http://youtu.be/ueAzmzYllwU
I use my lead hand to block an incoming punch to the body. At the same time I counter with a horizontal hammerfist to the head.

At this point, if my attacker stays put, I stay put and follow up.

If he moves back I stay on him by either leaning forward (in preparation for a follow up kick with my rear leg or I shuffle forward and keep balanced.
