Primal Series - Lesson 2 - The Sheild
The Blocking concepts that you need to know. It’s the one you’re probably going to use instinctively anyway, so it makes sense to realize what you’re doing and learn how to maximize the position’s potential.
Key Points:
• Arms up
• Arms crossed at forearms
• Look through forearms – MAINTAIN VISUAL CONTACT!
In this position, your arms form a SHIELD that protects your vital areas: the head, face, throat and chest. The hands on your head absorb the impact of any blows that might be coming at you. The elbows in this position not only provide a shield of protection to deflect blows, they can also be used to counter strike.
