"DRIVE" & "REACH" Hand Placement:
NOTE: In BOTH blocks — keep your hands close together inside your chest area — "TIGHT HANDS" (use "imaginary handcuffs" to stress this). Use the "ARM PUMP" (cock or pump your arms to the side before forcefully punching upward like a "fork lift"). This diminishes the chance of holding and brings more force into the block. Hit with fist, or meat of hands, with thumbs up.
C.P. In both these blocks - it is important to get your second step on the ground before contact.
1. DRIVE:
A) Lead step with near foot.
B) Aim hat at outside # (inside zone).
C) Fists under short ribs (at base of pads under #'s).
D) Get the second step down for power (don't cross over).
E) Climb, drive, and sustain.
2. REACH:
A) Lead step with near foot.
B) Aim hat thru outside arm pit (outside zone).
C) Inside fist in sternum (at base of pads) & outside fist down under armpit (at base of pads).
D) May cross over on second step.
E) Engage and sustain.
