Nice drill. I learned something similar in San Miguel Eskrima called "Counters (to the Angles of Attack)." If your opponent counter-thrusts early and high at 00:15 you parry with the dagger (instead of the wrist against a late and low counter-thrust) and the stick strikes across the opponent's body and under his daga arm (instead of over it) as you move laterally as GM Guba shows.

In the backhand Counters you thrust to your opponent's right kidney area and the opponent re-counters by stepping forward with the counter-thrust.

Best,

Steve
