Parrying is the fastest defensive movement you can do, being an instinctive and reflex action.
Because the parry is a deflection of an attack, it does not need power to stop it head-on, unlike a hard contact direct block. You do not need to muster so much strength and tension. By being less tense, you have more energy, stamina and endurance to last the fight or run whenever possible.

Mawashi uke (circular parrying block).
Mawashi uke “blocks” are composed of a parry and two strikes. The parry and counter strike occur almost simultaneously. The parrying hand then delivers the stronger or KO strike.
In this move, you:
1. Parry an incoming strike with your open palm while moving your body (using tai sabaki and Ashi sabaki) 45 degree to left or right side of your opponent, away from his centre line. Move fast and slap his fist hand hard when you parry. Slapping the fist instead of the wrist or forearm gives you more time to react.
2. Grab the opponent's striking limb and using hikite, pull him towards you. (Many typical Karate styles teach hikite as a move to chamber a punch or block).
3. As you pull him towards you, strike his eyes, face, neck, throat or ribs hard, the choice of target depending on your last shifted position and your intention (stun, hurt or KO).
