About
Sonmok dung ollyo makgi, literally bow wrist upward block (in English bow wrist upward block), is in ITF Taekwon-Do a block with the bow wrist (sonmok dung, in English bow wrist) directed upward (ollyo). The block list of ITF Taekwon-Do Australia lists, with the same direction, sonbadak ollyo makgi, where the palm (sonbadak) blocks. In the tul Tong-Il it is movements 22 and 23. The dotaekwondo.net breakdown describes movement 22 as a block with the left bow wrist upward in a right back-foot stance (dwitbal sogi). For movement 23 the breakdowns differ: dotaekwondo.net again lists the left wrist in a right back-foot stance, while the Slovak taekwondo.sk lists the right wrist in a left stance.
