If you press in your prepared sequence skillfully, often your opponent is unable to respond

If you have practiced well, when you apply pressing attack skillfully, many people would not know how to respond correctly. You must, of course, make very sure that you have covered yourselves carefully, giving your opponents no chance to mount any surprised strikes.

But if your opponent employs a pressing attack on you, how would you react? A good response is to intercept him. You may allow him to proceed with his pressing attack for some time, then surprise him with an interception. Or you may intercept him at the initial point or at any point.
