Right Arm Passes in Front of Face

Step 2 of the Upper Block
The right arm and left arm continue to move away from one another, with the left arm moving toward its chamber underneath the left shoulder, and the right arm moving toward a completed Upper Block by passing in front of your face. The right hand begins to twist during this phase so that the palm faces away from your face. It’s similar to raising a sword in that the arm moves upward at a 45 degree angle.
