How to Block Powerful Punches - Pressure Testing the Turtle Block | Effective Martial Arts

Learning how to block powerful punches in a progressive manner is really important for your development as a martial artist. This is how we pressure-test the turtle block against powerful punches, to make sure our punch blocks work when it counts. Very important to go progressively and with a cooperative mindset when practicing with our partners to ensure our safety and optimal long-term progression. We will mix these techniques with other defensive strategies as well as counter-attacks afterwards. Enjoy!
