Don't Lunge

- Equipment
- Blocking bag or shield
Your partner waits four or five meters away with the shield. Arrive at speed and stop in balance on contact, butt low and chest high, without ever diving at him. Lunging is the first of the three mistakes, and it’s the only one that loses the block before it even starts.
Key points
- Keep your hips low and your chest up: that’s what allows you to stay in front after contact.
- Arrive balanced, not stopped. Your body stays ready to move sideways again.
- Eight reps; switch roles every two reps.
Common mistakes
- Diving at the shield, which gives the defender the side: all he has to do is step aside.
- Standing up as you arrive, so arriving high and without a base.
