I don't think your opponent's non-blocking hand can reach you. In this clip, he is almost moving to his opponent's back side.

Finny wrote:Exactly - not switching. He would occasionally clear the guard with the lead hand before launching his 'casting punch' as you say. Reinforcing my point - the two-step process involved in 'switching hands' is exceedingly slow in comparison.

Do you have a clip of this technique being used?

This is why the arm wrap should be done when your opponent tries to punch you. The window can be small and special skill/strategy will be needed.marvin8 wrote:Both videos you posted are demonstrations where "opponent tries to punch" without retracting. Watch the feeder, not the demonstrator. . . .
Your definition of rhino guard is undebatable. If you can arm wrap a punch before it retracts, it is ideal. I just don't picture there is enough time to do it. Nor am I sure I understand the timing and steps correctly. . . .
Do you have a normal speed video of anyone (e.g., you, your students, anyone else) using this "special skill/strategy to arm wrap during this small window," before the arm is retracted?
I don't have such clip at this moment. But I promise that I'll put one up the moment that I can get one.
