About

Geodeureo naeryeo makgi, literally supported downward block (in English Supporting Downward Block), is a WT taekwondo one-hand downward block supported by the other hand. The Kukkiwon terminology dictionary explains naeryeo makgi as a block against an attack from above, and geodeureo makgi as a one-hand block supported by the other. The Taekwondo Compendium lists it among the defensive techniques of the poomsae Taegeuk Pal Jang under the English name Assisted Downward Block. In the Phoenix Taekwondo photo breakdown it corresponds to the caption Double Low Block in dwit gubi.
