Now that I’ ve hopefully stimulated your mind let’ s get into some techniques. This month direction going to meeting place on surety by learning some blocks, the system I am going to flash you is called “ 4 Corner Blocking”. The conception behind these blocks is they take a more practical and eclectic approach to precaution, fairly than learning the more classical forms of blocking – this allows you to learn something you will be able to quickly absorb and easily advance. By practicing these blocks you will quickly build a sense of accomplishment and confidence.
I’ m incontrovertible that anyone who has ever sparred or had to defend themselves will know that using an surface block will not be able to defend against a punch. An outermost block would work using the proper application; this is not to block a punch.
Block 1 - 2
This block is a downward parry; it works well defending against kicking attacks to the body i. e. front kick and also against long range punching techniques to the body i. e. reverse punch. The block is habitual on both sides
BLOCK 3 - 4
This block is aggrandized parry and is used to defend against attacks to the face from techniques such as roundhouse kick and elbow petulant punches.
BLOCK 5 - 6
This block mainly defends against brochure techniques such as hook punch, roundhouse kick. It can also be used to block techniques coming straight down the middle. This block can be called a “ rising elbow block” or a “ telephone block”, this block is great for self preventive because the most common attack throughout history is the over hand right, whether it was with a scalpel, sling shot, scalpel or a punch.
BLOCK 7 - 8
This block is commonly used in Muay Thai the shin block. It is used to defend against the low section roundhouse kick, which is a devastating weapon. Keep your guard up when performing this block so that you don’ t sufferance your unbarred body open when defending against the tremble. Shin guards are recommended to practice this block with a partner.
TIPS FOR BLOCKING
When parrying keep your fingers niggardly together and block with your palm. Fingers can easily be hopeless if outcast ajar.
When performing more than one block, pull the cooperation you have blocked with upright back to your ok so that you don’ t permit yourself ajar. Always have one boost covering whilst the other blocks, avoid your blocks looking like you are waving.
Keep your chin tucked in at all times.
Breath out with each block.
How to train you blocks
• Firstly occasion by shadowing your block, start with each block separately and then build up so you can do all 8 in procession. In front of a mirror would be ideal so you can check your form.
• Practice with a partner, get your partner to feed you active techniques with sway and then work your blocks
• Use a well-wisher or alternatively drainpipe slothful from a diy store are great through you can work fast attacks using the sister without the risk of being hurt. This will develop your speed and timing.
Now we have unknown the skills and the scientific elements lets get training. Revoke tautology is the walloping of all skills; train and you can only get better. I look forward to working with you next month.
