Mantis Hooking Block Drill

While this was not taught back in the day, I have found this hooking maneuver to be extremely effective against a thrust or angled punch to the ribs. A slight variation on this makes for an effective sweeping block against a side kick.

The tricks to making this work are in the form (which must be dead bang on), the speed (and light feel of the block), the distance and the confidence based on successful applications of this maneuver.
