Training Tips: Blocking and Striking with same hand.

Try to strike with the same arm you block with.  It does not have to be a final blow, but to stun, disrupt, or startle your enemy is the object, giving time for you stronger moves.  Example: He throws a right punch to your face.  Block with a right extended outward on the outside of his arm.  From there, shoot right finger spear into his right eye. This sets him up for your more devastating moves.
