What commonly occurs in blocking practice is that the instructor will direct the students to perform one of the taekwondo blocks: a low block, a high block, and so on. As each block is shouted out, the students will move forward and kihap while performing the individual block. When the lead member of the class reaches the wall, they will be instructed to pivot and turn around. The practice session will then continue, going the other way.

In some cases, where there is not adequate space for the students to move forward in lines, they will simply perform each block where they stand. When they are instructed to perform the next blocking technique, they will simply switch legs in a low jumping pattern, so that their rear leg takes the forward position.

Punching Practice

Punching practice is usually the next level of training the class is guided through, To begin this segment of the class, the instructor will call out a command. For example, "Front stance, straight punch." With this, the students will kihap and follow through with the technique. The instructor will call out, "One, two, three, four," and the students will move forward, performing the technique, until they are instructed to perform another punching technique, or to stop.
