Lucky 7
By now, you’ve heard all about 52 Blocks—especially because we featured the art and its most visible proponent Professor Mo, aka Mahaliel Bethea, on the cover of our June/July 2019 issue.

Roll the Dice
The hand motion of “roll the dice” is similar to pedaling a bike with your arms. When your opponent reaches out to strike or grab, you cycle so the leading edge of the circle formed by your moving fists goes downward. That brings your fists or forearms into hard contact with his limb, Professorhitting him near his wrist and farther up the arm. Then you hit his face with one or more backfists.
