Almost all TCMA forms has such move that your opponent punches/kicks you, you block it, and then do something after that. Some people even call that self defense with higher priority than free sparring.

I don't like any drills that I have to wait for my opponent to attack me. I like offense drills that I initial my attack whenever I want to. If my opponent attacks me first, I may just move back and play defense until I'm ready to attack back.

If I don't attack, I can dance around and play defense. If I do attack, I want to finish my fight right at that moment. If I fail, I'll move back and wait for my oppornity for my next attack. I also don't like single move drills. I like combo drills that one move can be used to set up another move.

I always like to start from a groin kick, knee joint kick, or foot sweep (kicks that's hard to be caught). Since my goal is to use kick, punch to set up my throw, any kick, punch combo that won''t be able to help me to link to my throw will serve me no purpose. After examing all the forms that I have learned in my life time, I finally decide that I just have to create my own drills for the kick, punch, lock, throw, follow on strike integration. The day when I found out what I need, I lost interest in all my TCMA forms. It's much easier for me to create my own drills than trying to extract drills out of the TCMA forms that I have learned.
