Blocking and then a take down

[Kung Fu Hamster]

Earlier today my instructor told me to practise blocking attacks but with techniques I rarely use... I was completely stuck. I didn't know what to do at all. So I'm asking for some help because I know he'll ask me to do it again next lesson so I wanna be prepared.

 

Can someone tell me how to block and take down a punch to the stomach, a front kick , roundhouse kick, reverse roundhouse kick, backkick and a thrust kick...

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

 

 

KFH.

a good takedown for when someone does a step through punch (oi zuki) is rising block there arm using the opposite arm to theres and using the free arm drop your back knee to the ground and grab there front legfrom outside inwards motion and push up with the rising block on there arm and pull up with your other armthey will go up then down if done properly(dont worry if u cant do it its ahrd to xplain without sound like im tlkin random ideas).the front kickis fun bcos der is a sweet lil move u can do dat look dam gud and works and is easy to do (all for only 9.99 in this special tv offer!)wot u do is wen u see them begin to rise there leg for a frnt kick spring forward and gedan barai (lower block) there thigh and punch (gyaku zuki) at the same time to chest .that can often unbalance pplenough to make them fall over or u can step through instead of sliding forward and place your leg behind theres making things a bit easier. I hope this helps ive used these before so they do work but my descriptions arnt very gud.

 

p.s hamsters ar sooooo coool

I got some more for you.if some one revers roundous kicks you (do you mean a hook kick) simply step forward into them fast it is very annoying and means your wide open to so amny nice little sweeps and such like. Roundhuse kick are the worst for me for takedowns because there jhust so confusing ( for my lil' head anyways) a favorite of mine is using a muay thai shin block ( just raise your leg out at about 45 degrees so that the kick makes contact with it make sure u tell the person what u r going to do so that they dont hit it full pelt because that will hurt them far more than you) and then I like placing the blocking leg into there stomach ready for a tomoe nage (a judo sacrifice throw) and throwng them gently.

 

if u want help with the tomoe nage ask around som1 will be able to help you but my description will end up with som1 hurt probably.hope this helps.

Slip to the outside and take the back on the linear ones.

 

Shoot on the kicks

 

Oh and forget about blocking, just go straight to the takedown, its faster

With punches, I often turn them into hip throws. I don't block though, I use the momentum from the punch to start the throw off...

 

As for kicks, try combining your block with a grab of the leg (using the blocking hand) and then sweep their supporting leg. Kind of difficult to practice on your own though.
