Outside In and Inside Out

It's interesting that different styles will name blocks differently. In the style that I study, the name for middle outside block is middle inside block. And the same reverse applies to middle inside block. It's strange. One is named from where the block orginates. And in other styles, the block is named after which side it blocks.

Then, a kick of my interest lately has been front inside kick and front outside kick. It's a fusion between a front snap kick and a front cresent kick. The leg kicks like a standard front kick. But the foot curves/points inward or outward depending on the kick. This kick is quite fancy in my opnion.
