1. Terminology

Seejak – Begin
Gumahn – Stop or End
Bahro – Return

2. What do we mean by the three levels of blocking?

Despite being taught only as blocks in our basics and forms, there are three levels to interpreting most blocks:

As a Block – The action is actually a block. The outward motion of the movement blocks the opponent. For example, a low block might be used to stop a kick.
As a Strike – The action is used to strike the opponent. The defensive portion of the move is using the hands-ready or chamber position to receive the opponents attack. For example, the extended hand in the chamber for an inside block might deflect a punch while the actual motion is used to strike the opponent’s arm or jaw.
As a Joint Lock – Rather than interacting with a striking opponent, the motion of the action is a way to practice a joint manipulation. For example, a high block might be used against a same-side wrist grab. The upward rolling motion of the block underneath the opponent’s arm will break the arm while the chamber hand holds onto the opponent.
