High, Low, Center Backhand Blocks

I call them backhand blocks (rising, inside and downward) because they start from the opposite side of the body.

With blocking, I rarely torque into (or with) the block as I’m usually starting from behind and I don’t have the time even if I’m in position.

I tighten up the stomach as I reach the end of the block. I have a firm base to block from. I combine these elements with wrist snap, speed and focus for a powerful strike to my attacker’s limb.

Without prejudice
