A special note on INNER and OUTER as well as INWARD and OUTWARD. (causes of a lot of confusion!)

Inside Block (An Makgi) - A block to the inside of the attacking tool. Note, that you are open to attack from the attackers other hand/foot when performing this technique.

NB. There has to be an opponent.

Outside Block (Bakat Makgi) When you block to the Outside of the attacking tool. This can be against hand or foot attacks. An advantage is that it makes attacks with the attackers other hand or foot more difficult.

Inward Block (Anuro Makgi) When the blocking tool reaches the target from an Outward to Inward trajectory (i.e. towards the chest line). It is used for blocking attacks directed to the Chest Line.

NB can be performed without an opponent

Outward Block (Bakuro Makgi) When the blocking tool reaches the target from an inward to outward trajectory (i.e. away from the chest line).

REMEMBER - These terms are referring to DIRECTION
and NOT to parts of the body.
