Which technique corresponds to Side Defense?

• A. Sang Dan Soo Do Mahk Ki
• B. Ha Dan Soo Do Mahk Ki
• C. Choong Dan Yup Mahk Ki
• D. Ssang Soo Sang Dan Mahk Ki

Answer: (C)

Side defense protects the torso from a side attack by bringing a blocking line to the midsection and guiding the incoming force inward toward the centerline. The move Choong Dan Yup Mahk Ki fits this precisely: Choong Dan places the block at the midsection, and Yup indicates the block moves inward. This combination creates a defense that covers the side of the body at the middle, making it the best match for side defense. The other options correspond to different target areas or block types (high, low, or double-hand blocks) and are used in different situations, not specifically the side-defense scenario.
