How to use "Countercharge" in context?
Countercharge is a familiar term in martial arts training. It refers to the action of countering an opponent's attack with your own, so that their momentum is halted and they are less likely to land a clean strike. In terms of unarmed self-defense, this tactic can be used to avoid an opponent's strike, or to place them into an unwinnable position. In martial arts, countercharge is also an important part of offence, as it allows an attacker to overcome the defender's initial defense and create space for further assaults.
