Beginning karate: Outside block (Soto Uke)

For new students to karate: How to learn to do a basic outside block (soto-uke).

[@beckthompson76]

Thank you for these incredibly helpful videos. I trained in Wado Ryu in the 1980s and 1990s and reached 1st kyu, and have recently re-started but in Shotokan, as a beginner. There are some differences (for example, I knew this block as uchi uke, and we did not extend the other hand to prepare). These videos are so useful because I can carefully study the differences and get used to the Shotokan way of doing things.

[@seamusodowdkarate]

You are correct: in Wado Ryu this is uchi uke. The names are reversed and the emphasis is slightly different, but the core principles are the same.

@@seamusodowdkarate thank you! Very interesting. Great channel.

You look scary

[@stuartmenzies8358]

This is a great example of how to block even using this basic block. So many people still not using the extend and prepare at basic level and correct hip rotation.

A great Sensei!! Thank you! Osu

[@retroafro1]

I just stared shotokan - I find the extend part before the block hard - all other style i have done never had that, so although its simple, my muscle memory from previous yrs kicks in and i often forget to do the extend part before blocking

[@ScorpionKing1980]

But extend with punch, not with fingers as in this video, since it can be a hit.

[@f.rsneep5007]

Thanks Osu

Great teaching! One thing only: Soto (in Japanese) means "to out", so I don't know why, but somehow this "uke" is incorrect definition. I'm aware of that most styles use this definition, so it is accepted by most styles, but... it means "to out" and that is why this technique You show should be named Uchi uke. In our style, our definition is opposit, that means we use the correct definition. Great video! Thank You!

[@cmdrsos4biz897]

Soto Ude Uke means from outside to inside forearm block as Uchi Ude Uke means inside to outside forearm block.

@@cmdrsos4biz897 My wife speak fluent Japanese and you tell me that she is wrong? ／熊道場、玄制流　空手道／

[@cmdrsos4biz897]

@@KUMAoDOJO Yes in the context that I gave you, when you miss the Ude (forearm) from the techniques wording it it slightly changes the overall meaning, so Soto-Ude-Uke means from outer to inner forearm block and Uchi-Ude-Uke means from inner to outer forearm block, the problem is most instructors omit Ude when teaching and this comes from several Japanese instructors who's native language is Japanese, also Soto means "The Outside" and Uchi means "The Inside".

[@KUMAoDOJO]

@@cmdrsos4biz897 That is your opinion, not over thousands of Taido, Kembukai and Genseiryu practitioners and they are original and native Japanese. During 1940-1990 all used this definition as we do. Suddenly it changed. Maybe some high ranked Shihan said wrong, and then all had to change it, so this high ranked Shihan wouldn’t loose his face? ／熊道場、玄制流　空手道／

[@cmdrsos4biz897]

@@KUMAoDOJO Thanks for your reply, it's Not my opinion and all of my searching and asking has never even come close to explaining the originality of this issue other than the missing 'ude: forearm' and I have been involved in karate since the early 70's, something I will take another look at when I have more time.
