About
Bakat palmok nopunde bara ap makgi is in ITF taekwondo a block with the outer forearm (bakat palmok) at the high level (nopunde) directed forward (ap). The English name translates the word bara as obverse; a separate explanation of this word is one we have not been able to confirm in the dictionary. The Slovak ITF breakdown lists the same block as baro ap makgi. The ITF Taekwon-Do Australia overview lists next to it bakat palmok nopunde bandae yop makgi, that is a side block marked bandae (reverse). In the tul Choong-Jang it is the 25th movement. The dotaekwondo.net breakdown describes it as a high front block with the right outer forearm in a right walking stance (gunnun sogi), followed in the same stance by a high side strike with the right back fist.
