Although the use of this technique is basically
the same as that of a X-fist, an X-knifehand has
the added advantage of being in a better

the block. This block is used chiefly to block a
reverse turning kick, and a turning kick. In a
rare case it can be performed against a hand
technique towards the solar plexus and points
above.
