Fails to Differentiate Terms

edit

The article mentions parrying as distinct from blocking, but the descriptions provided are inadequate for the purposes of differentiation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.5.24 (talk) 07:32, 31 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Major Cleanup or Deletion

This article basically comprises a how-to guide, which is strictly against content policy. It needs either serious cleanup or deletion. VanTucky 04:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Article title

Why are we using "Blocking" (the active present tense of the verb block), instead of the noun, "Block? Should Kick be changed to "Kicking" and Punch (strike) to "Punching (strike)"? Bradford44 (talk) 18:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Inside vs Outside

edit

US International TaeKwon Do Federation teaches inside block as opening your opponents inside targets (basically in front and between the 'shoulder lines') and outside as opening your opponents outside targets (anything that could be attacked from the side of your opponent). I don't know or if this is taught in other arts or styles.

We are also taught that a block is NOT defensive unless it is pushing or circular in motion. Otherwise it is considered a form of attack and is intended to cause injury.

yes there is a lot of dispute. one man's inside is another man's outside because it depends if you're referring to the inside of the attacker or yourself as the defender. what a dumb naming comvention lol. 147.147.121.224 (talk) 15:54, 12 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
