The Reinforced Block in Soo Bahk Do

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Geoff Sterling and I am going to be showing you right now the reinforced block which means that you are going to use both of your arms to snap and lock. This is a more powerful heavier type of block. It may be a little slower and you are sacrificing speed but you will gain power. You are going to do it this way and close your body because this is a defensive hip. Both your arms are going to hang down together now and think of it like you are drawing a pistol, drawing it this way and blocking with both of your hands. A way to look at it is with Soo Bahk Do with the punches you strike with these two knuckles here. The way to look at it is it is more of an impact on the surface area. It is easy to think of things like these two knuckles and not all four. You have a kind of a notch right there in your bone and basically it is a perfect crevice for these two knuckles to go and so it is kind of like the place it lands when you hit he block. It lands right there. Right there. That was reinforced double block. From Hollywood Soo Bahk Do, thank you for watching. "
