Lock-out (Block)

 

A distinct type of Block which is physically distinguishable by using the extension of the extremity to effect the block.

 

Comments:

 

This maneuver is most typically employed at the concluding position of a prior strike, but this is not a requirement. Regardless, the continued extension of the extremity is the block, not the strike itself.

 

From one perspective, this maneuver is a variation of a pinning check combined with jamming.

 

This block is considered an applied maneuver.
