Inside Hooking Block

The Inside Hooking Block is more accurately described as ‘The Block that goes from the Inside of the Body to the Outside of the Body’.

It can deflect most straight in punches that attack the chest, the throat or the head.

At one time I practiced an alternate arm version of this block guarding the chest.

If I raise my rear hand to head high and keep my lead arm down and across my body, I may create a so-called ‘False Opening’ (in the video I perform an Inside Hooking Block that guards areas from from the chest up to and including the head).
