 Downward hammerfist blocks are essentially [[Downward-fist block|downward-fist blocks]] performed to the side of the body. These are the most common defense techniques used in side-facing postures (e.g., [[Horse stance|horse stance]], or [[Full-side-facing|full-side-facing]])
-Downward hammerfist blocks are performed exactly like downward hammerfist strikes, but with the intention of swatting instead of crushing. To perform a downward hammerfist block, sharply pull your arm back as far as possible. (Ideally, this is a [Elbow_strikes#Rear_elbow_strike|rear elbow strike].) Then, straighten your arm out and down in a snapping motion. The forearm ''does not'' swing freely while the elbow remains fixed in place, like a folding pocket knife. The elbow should drop down as you perform a downward hammerfist, giving it the same crack-the-whip feeling as an [[Hammerfist_strike#Outside_hammerfist_strike|outside hammerfist strike]] or a [[Makkikomi-shutō_uchi|makkikomi-shutō]].
