When blocking a strike, you hand does not strike and retract, but rather continues the forward momentum, in a circular motion so the hand is ready for the next strike...:)

I'm just talking...:)

As I said, looked good!

I actually spent a great deal of time visualizing these paths and the most efficient path back to my opponent. Most of my amateur duels last less than five moves.

yep...that....

i always aim for the quickest finish possible, i've pulled off a couple of 1 move and 2 move finishes, but the difference in skill levels was obvious....of course a lot can be said for speed and surprise

My biggest training focus was the parry. Once my blocks were instinctual I focused on carrying the momentum. I use what I call a defensive form 7. It's high energy, momentum heavy, and is fueled by emotion. The biggest difference is the intent of my form. I am to disarm or subdue.

"strike first, strike fast, no mercy" -cobra kai dojo, the karate kid (original)-

Very sith like combat mentality. If there is a place to use those emotions, its behind a light saber.

The "Art of War" comes to my mind just about now.
