Layered Blocks

Layered blocks are when one block is applied atop another block and make it stronger. For example, a pressing palm block may have another pressing palm block applied atop it to reinforce the first block.

Braced Blocks

Braced blocks are when a block is reinforced by the other arm to make it stronger. For example, the fist of the other arm may be pressed against the inside of the elbow of an inner forearm block to make it much stronger.

Double (Twin) Blocks

Double blocks are blocks where both arms perform blocks at the same time to make the block stronger. For example, twin inner forearm blocks to stop a powerful round kick.

Wedge Blocks

Wedge blocks block and wedge between two attacks aimed at the same target. For example, if the attack is twin punches to the face or a two-hand throat grab, a wedge block uses two arms to come up between the two arms block them and wedge them apart so neither reaches its target.

Spread Blocks

Spread blocks block and spread two attacks aimed at the same target. For example, if the attack is twin punches to the face or a two-hand throat grab, a spread block uses two arms to come up between the two arms block them and spread them apart so neither reaches its target.

X Blocks

X blocks are blocks where two limbs are crossed in a X shape that catches and stops the attack in the V of the open end. It will be almost impossible for an attack to break through the block. For example, if the attack is a middle section front kick, a low X block may be used to trap and stop the kick.
