PEs went last week, we'll add regular drilling in the punch defence module.
You can read about that here:

This itself is based on 3 sets from 3 different arts, so there is quite a lot of depth to examine over time.
But the basic point is that if you fail to
1. get the PE to KO or escape
2. intercept
you will need to "defend" his attack before making your counter.
You will have moved from SDA to Interception to Counterattacks - which is a natural progression in combat.
As with PEs, lock flows, stix, etc, we want to make this a regular part of our drilling.
Drills build skills.
