Block of Punch and Kick (Basic):
Holding the "rope" with your hands approximately 18" apart, use a soft touch to block down the kick and then the punch. The idea is to cause the strikes to miss - "inch is as good as a mile" .
Demonstrated by Master J.R. West & Javad Tavassoli.

After blocking the kick and punch, wrap the punching hand to gain control of the attacker. This is similar to HapKiDo techniques, you just utilize the rope to gain the control.
