Обзор
The Forearm Block raises the forearm horizontally above the head to create a shield against high strikes, using the flat surface of the forearm to absorb and deflect incoming attacks. [1] Unlike the rising block (age uke) which sweeps the arm upward, the forearm block positions the arm in a fixed horizontal position overhead, creating a static barrier. [1],[2] The forearm block is commonly used in boxing and MMA as a protective ceiling against looping overhand punches and hammer fists in the ground-and-pound position. [2],[3]

Эффективность
The forearm block is one of the most practical defensive techniques across all striking arts, using the dense bone and muscle of the forearm to absorb or deflect incoming strikes. [1] In Muay Thai, the forearm block against body kicks is considered a staple defence because it protects the ribs while allowing the defender to remain balanced and ready to counter. [2]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Intercepting an incoming strike using a rigid arm, forearm, or shin structure to absorb or redirect force
Joints Involved — Forearm and elbow (primary blocking surface), shoulder (positioning), core (absorbing residual force)
Force Vector — Perpendicular to the incoming strike — meeting the attack at an angle dissipates force across the blocking surface
Defensive Mechanic — Hard blocks absorb impact directly; soft blocks redirect the strike's trajectory away from the target
Позиция и вход
From fighting stance — Maintain guard position, raise the forearm or shin to intercept the incoming strike before it reaches the target
As reactive defence — When the attack is detected, move the blocking limb into the strike's path to absorb or deflect the force
Варианты
High block — forearm raised above the head to protect against overhead strikes
Low block — forearm driven downward to deflect kicks or body strikes
Cross block — forearm crosses the body to protect the opposite side
Double forearm block — both forearms together for maximum coverage

✓The forearm block uses the forearm as a rigid barrier to absorb or redirect strikes — the most common defensive structure in striking arts
✓The outer forearm (ulna bone side) is the primary blocking surface — it's the hardest part of the forearm
✓Hold the forearm vertically to block hooks, horizontally to block overhands, or at a diagonal to block uppercuts
✓In MMA and boxing, the forearm block is constantly active: both forearms frame a guard around the head and body
✓Keep the forearms close to the body — the block is stronger when the arm has structural support from the torso
✓The forearm block is versatile: it handles hooks, overhands, hammer fists, elbows, and body shots
✓Train the forearm block by having a partner throw light strikes while you maintain your guard — develop the reflexive tightening
Типичные ошибки
!Blocking with the inside of the forearm (soft side) — use the outside (ulna bone) for a harder surface
!Extending the forearm away from the body — the block is strongest close to the body
!Blocking with a single forearm for every strike — use both forearms and adjust the angle to match the incoming strike
!Tensing the entire arm and shoulder — tense only at the moment of impact, then relax
!Blocking without seeing the strike — look through your guard; don't hide behind it
!Not keeping the forearms close together — gaps between the forearms allow strikes through
!Blocking hooks with a horizontal forearm — hooks need a vertical forearm; adjust the angle to the strike direction

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What's the correct arm position when performing a twin forearm block?
According to Donato Nardizzi, you must twist both forearms at the same time, and they cannot both be in the same position—one arm should be on the inside slightly on top for the side block while the other is positioned differently for the rising block. Make sure the outer forearm of the side block is in line with the center of your shoulder, with the fist at shoulder level and elbow bent 45 degrees.
How should my body be positioned when finishing a forearm block?
When you finish the block, your body should be half facing, and you should drop 70% of your weight onto the rear leg in L stance. The block should finish as you step down into L stance while breathing out at the same time.
How can I generate more power in my forearm block?
Donato Nardizzi recommends jerking your abdomen at the end of the block to get more weight behind the side block, which increases power and effectiveness.
Where should the rising block's inner forearm be positioned relative to my head?
When performing the rising block as a primary block, your inner forearm should be 7 centimeters from your forehead and in line with your forehead, with your elbow bent at 45 degrees.
