Wu Loi 護內 (Guard Inside)

Bruce Lee demonstrating Wu Sau Loi Mun on Taky Kimura

Short for Wu Sau Loi Mun 護手內門 (Guard Hand, Inside Gate). This is an emergency upwards-cutting wedge block, for rapid response against straight punches above & smothering your hands. Master it well, so you can always fall back on it when your hands are low and you have little time to react or little space to move. It can be a bit clunky, but it may be your last line of defence when nothing else can intercept quick & tidy enough.
