Blocking
Page 2 of 8
Ways blocks are used
- Block with enough power that attack is convinced not attack again
- Block gently, so that the attack is just parried or deflected
- Block and then counterattack, or block and attack simultaneously
- Block to unbalance the attacker
- Block the attack as it is about to begin forward movement
- Block attack at end of its movement
- Block and retreat to a safe position until an opportunity to attack presents itself
