The best time to attack is when your opponent is attacking. While attacking, your opponent is concentrating on the attack not on defense. Attacking opponents usually expose vital targets to a counterattack.

A counterattack is an attack commenced during or just after an opponent's attack. Effective countering requires careful observance of the opponent for any hints of an attack and then using your speed, timing, and experience to avoid the attack and execute your own attack.

Which technique or combinations of techniques you use for a counterattack will depend upon the initiating attack used by the opponent, your speed, the relative body sizes of you and your opponent, your fear of being hit, and your degree of confidence.

Three basic types of counterattacks

Block Counter

Where you deflect or block the attack and then counter attack. These counters are useful for all sizes of fighters.

• Hard block the attack and immediately bounce the blocking arm off the attack into a counter attack.

• Parry an attack and circle your blocking arm downward in a tight, circular movement into an immediate counter attack.
