How to Do an Inside Block in Taekwondo

Today’s video demonstrates how to perform an inside block in Taekwondo.  This is a defensive maneuver that can prevent a punch to the face and if you execute the move as demonstrated in the video, it will enable you to then attack your opponent.

This is one of many blocks you will learn when you study Taekwondo.  Notice in the video how you do not want to take a big swing backwards because otherwise, it opens up your face and body to receive a strike from your opponent.  Now presumably, you will never have to use these moves out in the street but they come in very handy in sparring competitions and, you will need to execute them properly in order to reach each of the belt levels in Taekwondo.
