Block and Counterattack

Examples

• After an inside to outside block inner forearm block, the blocking arm continues into a cross to the chin.
• After an outside to inside inner forearm block, the blocking arm continues into a back fist to the nose.
• After raising the leading knee to the inside to block a kick, the blocking leg continues into a side thrust kick.

Advantages

 

• Takes advantage of the opening created while the opponent is attacking.
• Quick, no wasted time since the counterattack is immediate.
• Opponent has no time to block.
• Sets up a power attack using the other arm or leg.
• Helps prevent the block with one side/ counterattack with the other side syndrome.
• Many opponents are not prepared for it since they seldom see it.
