Notice how Vlad maintains all components of his technique and power while also demonstrating accuracy, timing and distancing in relation to his opponent.
This phase is stopping after each block before throwing the counter strike to make sure that the block does not get short cut. Notice when Vlad goes at a faster pace, he never sacrifices any technique or power in throwing each block and counter.
Again, we want you to see how this would apply to a partner and the way every detail is still incorporated from footwork to blocking and striking without sacrificing technique or power.
Just like the off counters, we want you to work the on counters with both half moons and step drags. Be sure to start in that more broken or choppy format before moving to a smoother, more blended version of your blocks and counters.
