Another quick tip from the Learnmartialartsonline.net monthly newsletter!

***This Month’s Tip – Don’t stretch to make a block. You should keep all your blocking compact, keeping your movements close to your body. Don’t go out of your way to stop an attack, if you have to stretch to block it chances are it was going to miss you anyway! By stretching to make the block you’re leaving yourself open to a counter attack as your opponent can use your outstretched arm against you.
