Double Separating Block

Key steps

1. Bring both hands toward the center line with the elbows close and the shoulders relaxed.
2. Drive the forearms outward together to separate and clear the line to either side.
3. Keep the chest lifted and the hands coordinated so both sides open at the same time rather than one after the other.
4. Finish with the center line open, the arms active, and the body ready to step or counter.

Coaching points

• Use the whole body to support the block, not just the arm.
• Keep the blocking shape compact and efficient.
• Finish balanced and ready to counter.
