This is the technique I'd like to teach in angle blocking, where the blocker approaches the opponent from an angle from the direction the opponent faces:
Code:
| blocker's body part | contacts opponent's |
| top of shoulder | flank/armpit |
| palm of near hand | far breast |
| near arm & forearm | belly |
| head | [loose behind/beyond opponent] |
| far arm | [loose, dangling] |
It seems to satisfy the requirements of Fed & NCAA, but it
looks an awful lot like a tackle. The hand & arm contact only the front of the opponent's frame, but the action at the shoulder will be of adduction to keep the opponent in front of the blocker. It's like carrying something on one shoulder, using the arm to keep it on there.
If that's OK, how about if the hand is placed lower, near the hip, but not quite wrapping around the far side?
