This is a Question about "old school" Balintawak.

According to the Text below, the following "Counters" have been used/taught by Venancio Bacon:

Venancio Bacon said about himself that he knew 36 different counters to every possible attack. Of those 36 methods, 12 went with him into his grave. Only 24 were passed on.

Can anyone elaborate on this Point?

How can I picture those "Counters"?

Does it mean something like:
1. Vertical Block and follow-ups
2. Direct Strike to the Hand and follow-ups
3. Evade and pass through and follow ups etc etc etc

or is it more like

1. "Standart Vertical Block" follow up 1: Strike to the head &continue
2. "Standart Vertical Block" follow up 2: Butt to the Hand & continue
3. "Standart Vertical Block" follow up 3: Disarm xyz... etc etc

Does anyone have further Information on what those "24/36" counters are and or how this has been taught?
Thanks for any Info!!!

Yours,
Philipp "Mono" Wolf
