A Low Block is very effective in blocking a upward, vertical
threat directed at your groin, lower abdomen, chest or chin. This upward,
vertical threat may be from a person's foot, knee or fist (upper cut to chin).
Using the Two-Handed
Carry Position, move your baton in a horizontal manner down in front of your
body just below your groin. The baton should be in a horizontal position as it
stops a blow to your groin or another vital area. The fingers of your Support
Hand should be open and behind the long portion of the baton as you block the
object. Following the Low Block, assess the situation, then take appropriate
follow-up action as needed
