Block / Punch Sequence

•it contrasts defensive then offensive (offensive then defense) maneuvering to self-defense

•it contrasts using only closed hand maneuvers to other degrees of weapon formation

•it contrasts using front then rear maneuvers to other maneuver sequences

•it contrasts line reversal (elbow) to other line / circle combinations
