Competition using required safety gear.Taekwondo is an art of
self-defence, in which blocking techniques are highly developed.
These techniques are used to protect oneself from being attacked
by the opponent. However, it is important to master the techniques
of blocking the opponent's attacks in case of the frontal
attacks, for which a variant of hand techniques are applied and
are effective at point blank. The following instructions explain

Learn the different blocks available. There is a variety of blocks,
as follows:
* The Sonnal Makki (hand blade blocking) – this is designed to use
the sharpness of a hand blade [2] to block.
* Palmok Makki (wrist block) – this is usually carried out by one
wrist alone, but it may also be assisted by the other wrist in
case of heavy attack.
* Makki (blocking) – this can be classified as an inner block
(Anpalmok Makki) and outer block (Bakkat Makki).
Arae Makki (Lower front block)Use the lower front block (Arae

portion of body in coming from the punch or kick.

block to protect at the connecting point.
* Twist the wrist [3] to defend the lower portion by sweeping the
wrist downward. The elbow should bend slightly; the defending hand
must be tense & tight.
* Make the block with the outer wrist, which is the connecting
point.
* Turn your body sideways toward the front attack. The elbow should
go on further beyond the body-line; the distance between the fist
and belly is about 4 inch.
* Stop the fist [4] in front of the body to block below the belt.
Momtong Makki (Middle block)Use the middle block (Momtong Makki).
Move the fist from the waist toward the shoulder.
* Perform this block in front of the solar plexus.

the forearm upto the height of the forehead:by turning the hand
around with the back of the hand facing the forehead.
* Move the wrist close to the body.

inches (10cm) away
