Choong Dan Yup Mahk Ki is the Korean term for:

• A. Side Defense
• B. High Block
• C. Low Block
• D. Front Kick

Answer: (A)

Choong Dan Yup Mahk Ki describes a block used to defend the midsection from a side attack. Choong Dan means middle level, Yup means side, and Mahk Ki is the block. So this is the middle-side block, often called a side defense or side block in English. It’s chosen because its purpose is to protect the torso from attacks coming from the side at mid-body height, not to defend the head (high block) or the lower abdomen (low block). It’s also not an offensive move like a front kick, which is why that option doesn’t fit.
