Let me know how you practice a block when you are reacting to a punch!

I was taught, with the traditional movements of blocks, you actually execute 2 blocks. The movement of the non-blocking hand is really the first "quick" block or parry, followed by the 2nd, more powerful block. This has many uses: the 2 blocks are reassuring that your defense is successful, in case you anticipate early and miss the first block or the opponent feints it is immediately followed by the 2nd powerful block, the 2 blocks make it easier to off-balance your opponent, sometimes the first hand parries and the block is a strike in some circumstances, etc.

You are right. These two hands blocks are actually very helpful and effective. The first quick block actually a softer contact to enemy arms or legs, then the 2nd block are the more powerful one which will continue the tasks.

@@kenirawadi4689 yes indeed!!! The two defensive movements have many applications. The idea is that, almost no matter what the attacker does, the speed of an engagement, and your muscle memory, the defensive movements will cover most things that the attacker could do without you having to put much thought into it. I was taught that your first defensive move in most altercations will almost always be an inside parry, sometimes an outside parry. These parries are built in to the blocks (more technical, these RECEIVES) and they compliment each other beautifully in case something needs to be mindlessly followed up, you anticipated early and missed and the 2nd move catches the strike, defend 2 rapid strikes, checked, off-balanced, make some contact, reposition one's self, defend 2 strikes, hit a pressure point, parry then strike the opponent, put into an arm bar, etc, the list goes on. I was also taught that if you find a technique awkward to execute or have to try and force it to work, then it is an improper or incorrect application of the technique. The most important block in karate is Mawashi Uke and the principles learned from that are to be comprehended and applied to the other blocks/receives.

Old masters always changed something without thinking about traditionality, that's why we now have so many styles and directions. Changes for the better are development. Modernization of some old techniques for greater efficiency resurrects ancient styles. You are doing a good job.

I practice traditional blocks in kihon & kata but in kumite I have naturally shortened my blocks to intercept the strikes before they pass thru my box. I look forward to your next video incorporating the blocks in kata. Domo Arigato.

Wish I'd caught this a bit sooner. The mechanics and technique create lots of power to cause damage. A hallmark of karate, you might say? The idea then might be to cause the opponent to pause momentarily because their attack caused them pain. So then, is it really a block or a strike. I would say these techniques can be used with more passive blocks until an opportunity is created, of course the opportunity could also be in intercepting that first punch. However, the proper thinking of how to use these techniques evolves with experience. Im sure every karate practitioner sees how blocks are at times also strikes as well, that is no accident. Just my opinion. Cheers! Great job!

We practice a two part application for a "block". The initial set up for the "block" could be a block, parry or a strike. For example, the preparatory movement for the shuto-uke with the right hand is to bring right hand to the left side of the face then perform the shuto-uke. The initial movement could be parrying a punch or a strike to the oppent's forearm if you are being grabbed. The gedan-uke could be a strike, catching a kick or a takedown.

I always teach my students to block the punches the traditional way millions of times, to gain the speed and power before sparring so they can shorten the time or to tap the arm like in wing chung then do the block, but this way open my eyes to more possibilities

Sensei I do not practice Uechi Ryu but they do keep their elbows in front on their rib cage like you showed in this video. Krav Maga does too. I have studied Shotokan but now I am studying Koyabashi Shorin Ryu because of the practicality and close range techniques. Thank you for your instruction.

You can't really block using those large, heavy karate blocks. If you have a good blocking/parrying method, it is possible to really block. I like the principles you're teaching. Smaller movements, protecting the centerline, elbows kept close to the body, very cool and interesting.

tradisional mengajjarkan rute dan keindahan gerakan dan itu natural dan sesuai dengan mekanikal tubuh kita, sementara untuk penggunaanya adalah pengembangan dan kecerdasan individu untuk mengaplikasikanya dalam pertarungan yg sesungguhnya. dalam karate lama..setiap bagian tubuh adalah senjata..bagaimana melatihnya sehingga fungsi tubuh berubah menjadi senjata ..dan hal inilah yg kemudian bergeser menjadi karte sperti yg kita saksikan saat ini...menjadi kompetisi mengatas namakan karate dan itu hanya bgian terkecil dari karate sesungguhnya.karena tangkisan dlm tradisional karate bisa menghancurkan tulang belulang manusia yg mencoba menyalkitinya..Oss

Mas esses bloqueios não funcionam em uma situação de luta real, somente quando o adversário está parado e golpeia com o braço reto e deixa o braço parado e com o corpo estático, e em uma luta real ninguém soca alguém dessa maneira.

This is for practice purposes to understand body mechanics and timing. In real life, you block and hit very quickly, but if you don’t understand body mechanics, then you in real life situations, you will have problems.

That makes way more since than the "traditional" way of doing blocks. It's more about positioning so that you're already prepared for any incoming strikes.
