Hi, my name is Dan Schmidt, from the Chinese Martial Arts Center, and today we're going to show you the proper way to block a round kick. So a round kick is like a slap to the face with the foot, so come straight in, just like that. Now the way you want to block it, is use your palm, and press it off to the side across you, so he comes in with the kick. Press, and then you can move in. See, here now I'm close, and I can perform anything I want to do, so the block is like this, so he kicks. Lean your head away, so hold his leg up. Lean your head away, and use the palm, the palm and the forearm. Slant it towards the top of his foot, down towards the shin this way, and then move straight over the top, so once again, so he kicks, so one. Then he can kick again with the other side. Here too, same thing, so it's all about keeping the arms across the body. Now your rear hand, you want to keep across too, so you punch it or he kicks. Block across. Keep the arm here. If your arm is loose off to the side, and let's say your block misses, so he kicks and I miss. He can kick your elbow joint, which isn't good, so once again, so he kicks. Move in and block, straight across. That's the proper way to block a round kick.
