Ras, I think you've hit on one of the key differences here. I was not taught this technique as a defense against the "hockey punch." I was taught this technique as a response to the aggression which is a precursor to the "hockey punch." The idea is that he reaches out to you with the near arm, and before he launches the follow up attack you counter with the pin and striking combination. The way I teach it the moves are specifically designed to address several possible follow ups, and we do train it with the follow ups. I was just doing that Monday night. But the initial attack taught in the base technique does not include the follow ups. It's a response to projected aggression from the flank at long range. We don't add the follow ups until later. Because I want the students to learn a different lesson first.
