Which technique corresponds to a High Two-Hand X Block?

• A. Ssang Soo Sang Dan Mahk Ki
• B. Ssang Soo Ha Dan Mahk Ki
• C. Choong Dan Yup Mahk Ki
• D. Sang Dan Soo Do Mahk Ki

Answer: (A)

Understanding how block names encode technique helps you pick the right one. A High Two-Hand X Block is described by Ssang Soo Sang Dan Mahk Ki: Ssang Soo means using both hands, Sang Dan indicates a high level (above the shoulders), and Mahk Ki is the block. The “X” comes from crossing the forearms in front to form an X shape at head-chest height, performed with both hands. This combination of double-handed, high-level, blocking action is why that option is the correct match. The other names point to blocks at lower levels or to different hand actions and don’t describe the high two-hand X block.
