Cane Blocks then Cane Counterstrike

 http://youtu.be/7EJDXAd895Y
Again, this is nothing unusual.

I both block then strike with the cane.

Today my counter is a forehand swing.

Cane Blocks then Counter Punch

The doing is the thing.

This has been done by me before and it is nothing unusual.

But that is what makes it so real.

I can do it without thought.

Simultaneous Block with Forehand Knifehand Counter

This tactic is best used against a very aggressive attacker.

He steps in and punches hard.

I block with counter.

Simultaneous Block with Counter Backhand Hammerfist

I have done this before too.

The main difference between yesterday’s drill and today’s drill is unpredictability.

Harder to defend against because it is not expected.

Simultaneous Block with Counterpunch

I have done this before.

However…

It is only with enthusiastic and regular practice that skill is developed and maintained.

Block, Check, Counter

http://youtu.be/7J_wQL4pw_c
I block with my lead arm.

I check with my rear arm.

I counter with my lead arm.

This sequence takes a fraction of a second.

It is best used against very powerful punches (what used to be called ‘Haymakers’).

Block then Counter with the same limb

Like I said, Practice builds reflex like nothing else.

Today I am practicing block and right into a counter punch.

There is no pause between the two.
