The 4 Layers of Striking Defense | Effective Martial Arts

Being able to effectively defend against strikes is an essential part of a complete martial arts education. We will use these striking defensive strategies in order to stay safe, and eventually land our counter-attacks, whether these be striking or grappling based. Enjoy! The 4 Layers of Striking Defense: 1. Avoid (stay right outside of the attacker's range). 2. Block/deviate long range. 3. Head movements short range. 4. Turtle blocks short range. Live instruction on the Effective Martial Arts (TM) curriculum is currently only available at Kung Fu West Island, in Pointe-Claire (Montreal), Quebec, Canada. http://www.kungfuwestisland.com/ Created by Patrick Fulop, featuring Jacob Yap, intro music by Sukhdev Benning, http://www.sookz.ca/, and shot by Sébastien Henriot.
