COUNTERING AT DIFFERENT POINTS OF OPPONENT'S ATTACKS
Sifu Jamie deonstrates a typical series of a Kick-Boxer's attacks
Like most other fighters, a Kick-Boxer does not attack with isolated kicks, i.e. one kick at a time. He usually comes in with a series of kicks, sometimes mixed with punches. Sifu Jamie shows some examples.
Firstly, Grandmaster Wong demonstrates some low-level defence, which many students use, against these series of attacks. Then he shows some higher level counters. He explains and demonstrates that a master may choose to counter at different points of the opponent's attacks. There are five attacks in the series, hence there are five points of counters. Here Grandmaster shows counters at Points 5 and 4.
