The Inside Hooking Block

http://youtu.be/B6WIYcWDITE

I use this strike (which is used here as a block) to an incoming punch to my face or upper torso.

There are two main points to remember about using this block well.

 One is to set the blocking forearm horizontally in front of the chest so the incoming punch travels over it. Before the punch makes contact, I snap my forearm across my body (as shown in the video).

The second point is to finish the block so that the blocking forearm travels slightly past the shoulder (as I demonstrate in the video).

Without prejudice
