Block Techniques Inner Forearm Block |

Movement: Lead forearm moves forward and over just past body centerline (to cover a larger area in case intended target is misjudged) and then moves outward as fist rotates counterclockwise until inner forearm and palm of blocking hand face upward.
Contact: Contact is made using inner edge (thumb side) of forearm, which is now facing outward.
Position: For a high or middle section block, forearm is angled forward at about 45°. For a low section block, the forearm is almost fully extended. Outward movement stops when arm is just outside edge of body. This ensures the attack will miss your body.
Used: Used against high, middle or low straight or angled attacks.
Example: Use to block a trailing hand (reverse) punch to the solar plexus.
