About
In ITF Taekwon-Do, an palmok yop ap makgi is a side front block with the inner forearm (an palmok), protecting the front and side line of the body against a kick or strike to the trunk. It differs from blocks with the outer forearm (bakat palmok) in the blocking surface. Hwa-Rang: movement 26 and 27 — right then left inner forearm blocks while taking the closed stance moa sogi, the other forearm extended sideways downward. Po-Eun: movement 6 and 24, the block performed together with a pushing block of the other fist.
