Karate Counter Attacks Part 1Study these karate counter attacks carefully, and practice them till you feel confident of your flow, speed and accuracy.
Low Right Counter Attack
Your opponent attacks with his left hand low.
You parry with your right hand and slash down and counterattack with your arm or elbow tip to his nose.
1-2 Counter Attack
In this situation you face a crafty opponent. He attempts a combination attack with a 1-2 of high left and low right strokes. You, in turn, counter with an upward slash with your left hand and a low slash with the right hand.
Then you counterattack with a good swift kick to your opponent's shin or a powerful slam on his foot.
High Left Counter Attack
Your assailant sends a high blow to the left side of your face.
You parry with the outer edge of your left hand and counter with a knuckle jab to his adam's apple or stomach.
Knee Kick Karate Counter Attack
This karate counter attack is difficult to understand from the illustration alone.Figure this: Your opponent sends a swift knee kick toward your groin. Right? Now, you defend yourself with the palm of your left hand. You protect your vital area and push the knee across your body. Then you counter with a move behind your opponent. Grab his/her ear or hair and yank downward.
Then give him a swift kick into the back of his knee. This will cause him/her to collapse (if you do it right!). Follow up with your favorite kick or any other escalation attack to ensure he/she does not get up and retaliate.
