Face the Point of Contact

There is an imaginary line drawn down the center of the body. This is called the centerline. This line should face the point of the attacking limb, placing your body behind the defending arm. If you block a forceful circular with only the arm, it can collapse.

For an mpg example of this see: Defense/Attack Against Kick in the Techniques Section
