Your basic lat sow hand pattern gives you the basic idea. When doing the drill co-operativly your attacking left palm strike should repeatedly be running into, then sticking to your partners right 'inside' punch. Call this punch defense "number 1". During this move from your partners point of view he is doing the next defense.
In this particular definition, inside and outside is referring to your partners two arms being extended straight forwards. The area between his arms, we refer to as inside, and of course the area outside as just that. There are other ways to refer to inside /outside depending on which frame of reference one uses, so that is why we are being specific here.
Defense against punch number two is when your right hand punch intercepts and sticks to his left palm strike attack. This "number 2" for your so called 'block' is an inside defense from your poinnt of view. It is not a block per se, but a
(momentarily ) interrupted attack that just happens to stop the partners attack.
Defense 3 is against a right punch aimed upwards to your face level. Essentially you will be repeating an inside defense though, as it has gone slightly over your left pak sow. Think of your wedge as a snowplow blade in front of you. As this happens, imagine you are now going uphill, So just tilt the arm wedge upwards. For now it is a good idea to pull the head and upper body ever so slightly backwards to keep his attack well away from you.
