Learn How To Defend Yourself
I would firstly like to say how pleased I am you have chosen to read this martial arts home study tips article. The idea of the information I will be giving you is to keep it simple and not to have you reading long paragraphs. I hope this column will be of benefit to people just starting out and also to the more experienced practitioner, who may read something that might just remind you of something your not doing or have forgotten to do.
Blocking
Now that I’ve hopefully stimulated your mind let’s get into some techniques. This month where going to focus on defence by learning some blocks, the system I am going to show you is called “Basic Blocking”. The idea behind these blocks is they take a more practical and eclectic approach to defence, rather than learning the more classical forms of blocking – this allows you to learn something you will be able to quickly absorb and easily apply through learning martial arts at home. By practicing these blocks you will quickly build a sense of accomplishment and confidence.
I’m sure that anyone who has ever sparred or had to defend themselves will know that using an outer block will not be able to defend against a punch. An outer block would work using the proper application; this is not to block a punch.
Block 1-2
This block is a downward parry; it works well defending against kicking attacks to the body i.e. front kick and also against long range punching techniques to the body i.e. reverse punch. The block is repeated on both sides
Block 3-4
This block is another parry and is used to defend against attacks to the face from techniques such as roundhouse kick and jab cross punches.
Block 5-6
This block mainly defends against circular techniques such as hook punch, roundhouse kick. It can also be used to block techniques coming straight down the middle. This block can be called a “rising elbow block” or a “telephone block”, this block is great for self defence because the most common attack throughout history is the over hand right, whether it was with a spear, sling shot, knife or a punch.
Block 7-8
This block is commonly used in Muay Thai the shin block. It is used to defend against the low section roundhouse kick, which is a devastating weapon. Keep your guard up when performing this block so that you don’t leave your open body open when defending against the kick. Shin guards are recommended to practice this block with a partner.
