Hi, I'm Karl Romain, demonstrating the 18 tactics. The tactic I'm about to demonstrate for you is called Single Rafter. This is an outward block, followed by a reverse punch. We're going to demonstrate slowly first. My partner steps in, I block. Notice that my arm is at a 45 degree angle, heading right back towards him. Right from here, I'm gonna pivot my stance, and I'm gonna punch. I can use a sun fist, striking here with the bottom three knuckles or screw punch. Either one will work. Let's try it full speed. Boom. OK. Let's try it from a different angle. Again, first we demonstrate slowly. One, blocking out. Two, punching. Full speed. I'm Karl Romain, demonstrating the 18 tactics, and that was Single Rafter.
