Response to free form technique

Quote “1. If you screw up the block, strike or what have you, DO NOT STOP. Finish it.
2. If it didn't work the first time, it probably won't work a second time. Do something different.

We'll figure out went wrong after the tech is done.”

No question, don’t stop moving until the job is finished. The block, parry or strike does not have to be textbook perfect to be effective. Part of Kenpo strategy is to disrupt the opponent’s effort by clogging the punching lanes, breaking their balance and constantly mutating the striking range. It doesn’t have to be pretty to render the desired effect, but standing still analyzing won’t get it done.

Excellent points Zoran.
