"Folds" are a way that you bend your arms in the "ready" position before you whip them into the block position. For example, for the fold for the left sudo block, you stick the right hand out, hand in the knife position, pointing toward your opponent's solar plexus. The left arm folds on top, with the elbows touching, the left hand facing palm in, hovering by the right ear. When you block, the right hand whips back to a position, palm up, over your own solar plexus. The left hand whips out, palm swiveling to face your opponent, with the elbow at a 90 degree angle.
The fold is extremely important because it gives the block additional momentum, and thus, power.
