Everything you wanted to know about Gedan barai/uke (the low “block”)

[@brianbreeding1]

Excellent breakdown. I still remember as a 9th kyu in Japanese karate the block was only for kicks! In my current system we take the strike to a different level, pivoting the fist so as to strike with the first two knuckles.
