Covering Technique

[riversidetaichi]

Here is a video example of a technique
used in the internal styles of tai chi, hsing-i, and ba gua,
as well as external styles. I have termed it as covering but,
bridging is also an appropriate name for this method.
Use this technique against an opponent throwing multiple attacks.

What if the guy just hooks a punch over the top?

I guess the point of covering is to rapidly respond with another strike once the opponents arms are temporarily held?

 

[Touch Of Death]

Looks good to me. I call it getting to his outside, but it is a sound idea. Over the top hook punches can also be gotten to the rear of.
