The Forward Block Sweep is used when the suspect stands and ankles are in reach. Which option is this?

• A. Bridge & Roll Escape
• B. The Hip Drill Retreat
• C. The Forward Block to Hip Drill Retreat
• D. The Forward Block Sweep

Answer: (D)

When the suspect is standing and you can reach their ankles, you want a move that intercepts their leg quickly and puts you in a better position to disengage. The Forward Block Sweep is designed for exactly that situation: you use a forward block to stop the forward motion of the leg and then apply a sweep to disrupt their stance, bringing them off balance so you can create space or take control.

This option is the best match because it names the exact technique described in the scenario. The other choices describe different techniques or sequences that are used in different positions or contexts (for example, ground escapes or multi-step combinations), so they don’t fit the described setup as precisely.
