Reinforced Block

Key steps

1. Chamber the primary blocking arm and place the support hand so it can reinforce the forearm near the wrist or elbow line.
2. Form the main block first, then connect the supporting hand so both arms work together without crowding the shoulders.
3. Drive the shape from the stance and hips so the reinforced block feels rooted rather than stiff.
4. End with both arms structurally connected and the torso upright so you can immediately transition into a 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.
