...(cont) guard, move to the side of the punch arm then counter strike. Then try the same with blocking either punch with the left hand only. Again, this is when you are caught in range and must act fastest. That is why it is good to practice being able to punch fast with no tel' with either hand (not just the jab) so the opponent also is faced with the decision of which hand will strike, slowing their reaction time. Again, decision adds to reaction time.

Looked at this video much closer now. I agree that if a person throws a punch, try to be in the area just outside the punch. That gives an advantage of more time to react too.

Good video. I'll likely watch it several times to see some steps more clearly. I often practice strikes to the arms using my robot arms that punch at real speeds. That gives more of a true feel of how fast one must be to make such strikes. The advantage of attacking arms that attack you is you don't have to get real close and you destroy their attack weapons. You can even attack the arms before they strike out. So many people think of going for the body only.
