Tip 04/03 Counter Attacking Drills Most training centers have various programs that inculcate and refine attacking techniques and sequences for their advanced students. This is good. However, some stop short at this point and do not include any drills that serve to develop and refine counter attacking (CA) skills and stamina. While some may argue that this is not necessary , I beg to drifter. If we train for attack and defense, why not counter attack? It is a different basket of skill sets. One of the easiest ways of executing a set of CA drills is for 2 exponents to partner up, one with a body shield. To keep the initial set simple, limit the counter attack techniques to ap chagi and duebon chirugi ( front kick and double punch) only. Attacker (in front of wall) holds shield facing defender. Attacker kiaps, and steps forward aggressively, mimicking a hostile move or attack, forcing the defender back. Upon taking a step (or 2) back, defender launches a rapid CA. Increase the frequency and reduce the time in between steps as you get comfortable with the drill to improve the efficiency of the exercise. Once people are used with the scenario, throw in different CA techniques and vary the pace, angle of shield and length of the attackers step. Hoooah!
