Downward foot Blocking Drill

Frankly, while I use this block, I have changed both the way I perform it and the way I use it. I found the original was just too slow against an aggressive attacker bent of using a front kick to smashing my guts (or groin) out.

I generally use the variation demonstrated against an angled kick to my torso. That is to say, I guard the side of the front of my torso.

Without prejudice
