This one’s different — a strike that whips off the body instead of a typical swing, built for close range. It’s hidden in the motion, so it catches an opponent off guard before they even register it’s coming. Body, hand, head — the targets are endless.

Power means nothing if it’s stiff. This drill is all about fluidity — strikes with the stick that flow into each other instead of resetting between every hit. Not just hitting hard, hitting without a pause, so every strike sets up the next.

Flow is everything — moving, moving, moving, until he comes in and I strike. Arm, hand, or elbow (that one’s a real painful spot), then roll straight into position behind him. I don’t want to fence with him. I want to hit and move, hit and move — never stay in front, always control the fight.

Don’t wait for the punch to land — drive forward with the elbow before the barrage even starts. Forward, back, up if they come over the top, or back up if they try to grab you. Trained as partner drills, reps done with real intent so it actually holds up under pressure.

Evade the punch with Silat footwork, drive a strike to the carotid, and take them straight to the ground — punching on the way down. Once they’re down, it doesn’t stop: continuous strikes with kicks and punches to control the fight.

Most people back up when someone’s driving forward with punches. Wrong move. Instead: flank the punch with a double palm strike parry to redirect it. Then attack the lead leg with a kick, use Silat footwork to get behind them, drive a forearm strike to the neck to redirect them to the ground, and finish with a punch on the way down. The details that matter — take the space, and trap the neck with a shin check.

A real fight doesn’t stand still — so neither can you. Evade the punch, side kick to break their structure, then handle the secondary back fist as it comes. One continuous flow, no gaps. The second you stop moving with them, you lose the rhythm. That’s why we stick to the attacker like glue and attack from every angle.

This is the opening move from the flanking sequence I broke down last time — the forearm strike that breaks their structure before the fight even really starts. To show what it actually delivers on contact, I put it to the test against a coconut.

Flank the punch, follow up with the secondary punch — because they’re not just going to stand there. This is how continuous striking and parrying lets you take the attacker’s space. And once you’ve got that space? That’s where knees and elbows come in.
