In today's video, head coach Eran Bert demonstrates a shoulder roll to counter uppercut technique. The element of surprise is very important in martial arts because it allows you to generate much deeper, more effective counters. In today's technique, coach Eran gives the opponent the impression that his strike landed, when actually the energy of the strike is mostly deflected or absorbed off coach Eran's shoulder. This makes coach Eran's counter uppercut land with much greater effect.
