BLOCKING TECHNIQUES

A. Develop blocking measures, which call for great coordination and timing.
B. Perform blocks techniques.

As the name suggests, masters and

practitioners use these blocking techniques to
block various strikes. In fact, these
techniques follow the order of the strikes. In
other words, every block is used to stop
certain strikes to provide protection from all
directions. These blocking techniques help
you well basically to avoid pain. Ancient
Filipino Arnis masters used the sword to
neutralize their enemies. It was quick swift
death. Since nobody ever came back, we
can’t really say whether it was painful or not.
Grabbing the blade was never an option. But
modern Arnis uses the stick as a primary tool
and not just as a replacement for the sword.
In that sense, blocking techniques actually
make more sense. They will protect your
body from the opponent’s attacks and turn
the odds of the fight to your favor.

Six Blockings

 Outside blocking- performed by bringing the cane forward support and by the left hand
at the middle of the cane
 Inside block- performed as an outside block, however, on the right side of the body
 Downward inside block- performed by positioning the hand holding the cane above the
right shoulder then swinging the cane downward to block the opponent’s attack
 Downward outside block- performed by positioning the cane behind the left ear then
swinging it downward to block the opponent's blow.
 Rising block- performed by raising the cane over the head to block the opponent's blow.

The 12 blocking techniques of Arnis

1. Left side of the head attack.

A diagonal downward forehand swing to

the left temple. From the position, the
warrior will hold the stick with one hand
at 1 o’clock moving his stick in slashing
motion while his free hand on his chest.

2. Right side of the head attack.
A diagonal downward backhand
swing striking to the right temple.
Assuming a fighting stance like
the left temple strike, the warrior
this time held his stick at
11o'clock with his free hand kept
on his chest.
4. Right side of the body or torso, to the
left arm or elbow.
Same as the 3rd strike but this
time the practitioner will extend
the weapon hand to strike any
part of the body between the
shoulder and the hips in a
backhand slashing swing located
on the right side.
6. Left chest stab
In this strike, the weapon hand is
then extended to the front with
the palm facing outward and the
elbow kept up where this strike
can cause damage to the rib
cage.
8. Left lower leg.
In this technique, the practitioner will
deliver a powerful strike to the
opponent’s lower leg, mainly the knee,
the angle or the ankle which throws off
the opponent’s balance and immobilize
him. By doing this, the warrior is
supposed to lower his body (extending
the weapon arm). Holding his palm
upward and hit any part of the
opponent’s lower leg.
3. Left side of the body or torso, to the left arm or elbow.
The 3rd striking technique allows the
practitioner to extend his weapon hand
making it easier for him to strike any part
of the opponent between its shoulder and
hips. The stick will be draw in a diagonal
forehand slashing swing making it easier
to deliver a damage.
5. Thrust to the stomach.
In this strike, the practitioner will
thrust the weapon hand to the
stomach and is followed by an
upward motion that will cut
through his opponent's body.
7. Right chest stab.
In this stance, the practitioner will
practice the scooping action. The
weapon hand is then extended
forward with the palm facing
outward. To deliver the strike
properly, the elbow should be
kept up puncturing the opponent’s
right lung.
9. Right lower leg.
Again, like the 8th strike, the main
target here is the right lower leg
which immobilize the opponent.
By doing this, the palm should
face downward.

10. Left eye poke. 11. Right eye poke

The target here is the left eye

socket. In order to execute it
properly, the practitioner should
assume fighting stance then
extend the weapon hand forward
with the palm facing outward with
its elbow kept down.
Same as the 10th strike
technique. To execute it properly
the practitioner will have to hold
his elbow down poking the right
eye of the opponent.

12. Strike to the crown/top of head

The last strike will be a straight

downward overhead swing directed
towards the crown of the head which
could throw off the opponent’s mobility
and balance.
