from U-God's book
The 52 Blocks is both an offensive and defensive style that was developed on
the street. It’s elbows, arms, and a combination of hand movements that
combines techniques from a half-dozen martial arts, including tae kwon do,
monkey-style kung fu, jeet kune do, and who knows what else. That’s why 52
Blocks was such a major advantage if you could master it. Size or ability
didn’t matter if you could block everything your opponent threw at you, then
retaliate.
For whatever reason, the OGs didn’t pass 52 down to the younger
generation. Maybe it was because guns became more of a factor in settling
disputes. Whatever the reason, 52 Hand Blocks is nearly a lost art today, with
only a scarce few remaining who claim to know it. So few that people think
it’s a myth. It’s not, though. If you tangle with one of these old heads that
knows the 52, you’re gonna get hit with a tornado. He’ll hit you from your
kneecaps to both sides of your dome.
Sha-Bon, or Shabby, who was down with the Avenue Crew, had a brother
named Tameek who was a master at 52 Hand Blocks. You could not get your
shyt off with Tameek. He was a knockout artist in every sense of the word, and
there is an art to the knockout. He had big ol’ mitten hands, and he could
knock you out with either one. His defense skills were impenetrable. You
could not land a single punch on this guy, and he would land all his. Believe it
or not, this dude used to catch your punch and kiss your fist, then bust your
shyt.
I wanted to do a documentary with Tameek about the 52, but he got killed
before I could. He was in the life, and tried to take over a drug building, and
got shot in the back of the head. I wanted to interview him because he knew
the blocks. He knew defense, but he also knew offense, how to come back
from the block. Once he had neutralized his opponent’s attack, he knew the
best way to strike and drop them with one punch. That’s lost knowledge. That
died with him. That’s a damn shame.

I did a little research on it since I like martial arts and fighting styles. However the amount of written material I’ve seen is slim.
That dao of 52 book isn’t really all that good aside from dropping a little information about origins here and there. I feel like you gain better insight from reading the books it’s trying to replicate. But it’s only 7 dollars on amazon so.

That "tornado " shyt u god talmbout is real
Its a hook to kneecap a hook to ribs w other hand and a hook to head with original hand

I was more of a boxing muay Thai type was Shadowboxing and a cellmate asked me if I wanted to learn how to REALLY fight
I have always wondered where ALL the techniques come from style wise like its this one shyt I learned that look like I'm brushing my shoulders off (nikka shyt) but some of the palm strikes are definitely some Asian shyt
If you're seriously trying to give accurate information on legit skilled 52 practitioners breh, then you need to quit posting videos about fraud Lyte Burly.
Burly's JHR is garbage
And Burly only became popular as a 52 blocks guru because he was the first to have numerous YouTube videos when there was very little information in regards to actual JHR techniques.
