INWARD BLOCK AND CHOP

Since you have learned the inward block and the knife hand chop, it is time to put the two together. Stand in a Horse Stance and have your practice partner throw a right punch toward your head. (Practice punches should be thrown slowly in the beginning and gradually increased in speed.) As your partner throws the punch, he should yell "Go," alerting you that his fist is on the way. You will respond to this attack by throwing a right inward block, followed by a right knife hand chop toward your partner's throat (figs. ssss1, ssss1 and ssss1). It is wise to have your practice partner hold his unused hand in front of his throat, offering you a practice target (focal point) and also protecting himself against accidental injury.

After practicing the right block and chop for a few minutes, have your partner punch toward you with his left fist, once again shouting "Go," and perform the motion from the left side.

When you have learned the block and chop technique from both the right and left sides, put the two together by alternating the right and left for a period of about thirty seconds.
