Middle Inner vs Middle Outer Forearm blocking in ITF Tae Kwon Do?

Question

Hi, I'm a white belt (9th gup) ITF Tae Kwon Do student and am supposed to be practicing my blocks for stripe grading this week but I can't seem to remember the execution differences between a Middle Outer Forearm block and a Middle Inner Forearm block. Can anyone give a detailed explanation of the differences? Not sure if there is a WTF-ITF name difference or not but that is what the two moves are called in ITF.

I know the middle inner forearm block is the one used in the Chon Ji pattern but I can't find a good example of the outer block and it is the only fundamental skill on my test I am still unsure of. I would have preferred to ask my instructor but I am missing a blocking class due to work and don't want to fall 2 weeks behind the rest of the class in grading if I can help it. Thanks.

Answer 1

I don't know anything about TKD, but don't fixate on the belt and testing. Ask your instructor because more than likely you wont get a good answer here. Regardless of what people tell you, a belt means little, the knowledge is important..

Answer 2

Outer form blocks, the wrist faces out away from your body, and the inner form blocks, they face towards the body.  Good Luck.
