AOKK Kumite Elbow Block

This block is difficult to land but can hurt the opponent’s fist. When the opponent throws a lot of hooks, let the point of the elbow float out slightly horizontal and let him/her strike the point of the elbow. Bend the arm so the elbow strikes first. This is especially affective if someone is round kicking above the waist. Drive the elbow into the instep and you can shut the foot down.
