I believe the style changed over time to look more spectacular maybe because of movies or just out of the need for spectacle, but senseis over generations may have forgotten why the old way was more practical even if it didn't look as dynamic or visually appealing. It's good to have senseis that dedicate to show how it used to be. and why should it be that way the best one.

Hi Yusuke, this series is fantastic. The Okinawan Sensei have been so generous with you, and you have had an amazing attitude in learning from them. I am very interested to understand how you think everything you picked up from this series (and the last) will affect your karate in the long term, some of the advice is going to be different to what you are expected to do, and will be graded on in Shotokan. I think it would be really interesting if you did a video on how you think these experiences will be impacting your karate journey, what you will be able to incorporate whilst still maintaining your "style" or if you think that your karate is going to change much etc. I have moved around a lot and have had to train in a few different styles, there is always a challenge in learning everything you can whilst still be focused enough to progress in the main style that I grade in, and I would love to hear your experiences on this.

I used to like to practice Shuto-Uke by myself before class. I’d do it lightly stepping forward, backward, 45 degrees to the left and right, 90 degrees left and right, 135 degrees left and right and finally 180 degrees left and right. I’d sometimes do it 270 degrees like Gedan Barai is often done in the Katas. I’d work on keeping my blocking elbow a fist’s distance from my ribs, blocking hand’s fingertips shoulder height and working to connect my block with my hips. In my view the block should end while the hip is still moving, otherwise, it tends just to be an arm block. By having the hips still moving, you are bringing the momentum of your whole body weight into the block even when you do it with no conscious power.

I think, the difference in your technique and his technique is in chinkuchi, which is not used in Shotokan. In Shotokan we use kime instead. The best way to practice chinkuchi is Sanchin and Naifanchin. This is because he says Naifanchin in your dialogue. But without explanation of the internal work this kata is just a form, like Tekki. Because of chinkuchi his hip movements are so short. It would be great to learn the principles of chinkuchi he uses. As a part of it I see his grabbing the ground with the toes. He straightens his lower body and then he shots his technique, I think this is opposite to kime. Correct me if I’m wrong Yusuke. And thanks for the great series!

I was hoping you might touch more on what the 'block' is best used for and get Higa Sensei's take on it. I find the gedan barai is best used as a strike. It is a completely unnatural way to block a front kick. And I would argue IF you used it in an emergency against a strong front kick, then you risk seriously injuring yourself.

I've had the best success using it to strip wrist/forearm grips in wrestling. Doing catch wrestling has made me have so many 'aha!' moments with kata forms and finding bunkai I was never explained for movements that don't really make sense. The double blocks (I forget the Japanese) too have only become useful to me in grappling. Like you say, using them to block axe kicks as I've heard explained is likely to get you injured anyways. But if you use it as an entry for a top-double wristlock/Americana, it makes much more sense. You can see in some old European martial arts treatises that they use that same crossed hands block to block dagger strikes as well, and I've gotten that to work at least once in live sparring doing HEMA.

My main gripe with karate is that it has become ingrained, even with mature aged experienced karate-ka, that karate is predominantly about 'sparring'. The fact that so many so called applications & exercises start from front stance & downward block as the 'on guard' position should tell us that up close & personal self defence is no longer appreciated.

In my experience, the mechanics of the gedan barai might not be the most difficult, but it is one of the most difficult to apply as a block. Even in bunkai, with pre-determined sequence, I have to work harder to find the timing and the right spot compared to other blocks.

I never found much use for it until I started wrestling - it's fantastic when hand fighting to strip wrist or forearm grips, especially linking the lower body like the sensei says. Probably lost in translation since the word "block" doesn't exactly mean that in Japanese, and most of the grappling isn't practiced in karate anymore.

@@flamezombie1 True. I specified "apply as a block", because I have found other uses, like when the preparing hand is used to parry and grab by the wrist, the gedan barai can be a great attack toward the arm or elbow, but as a block I won't say it's impractical, but it is a difficult one to use.

The hard in it is that the energy has to go down all the way - while you start the arm movement upwards... Blocks usually are taught in 2 parts with the first, preparing, part inhaling. Every block should be an exhale like a punch so they can become one single movement instead of two - up and down in this case. (I hope I make sense here, ha!)

Generally speaking I think blocks are extremely difficult to make use of in a fight, so from that perspective all blocks are difficult from an application standpoint. I tend to believe that these techniques were probably designed to be attacks (i.e. attacking joints) as opposed to being primarily defensive. The way he did rising block was a perfect example of this as it used as both a deflection and a counter punch (well timed, it could be a KO). I think calling these attacks blocks is more marketing since arm breaks are quite brutal form an image standpoint.

The problem is with the labeling of the uniques, in early days of Karate before it came to Japan there were no labels for techniques. These labels came into being after Okinawa introduced karate to Japan. The Japanese came up with all the technique labels not the Okinawan's, eventually they were adopted by Okinawa in order to be recognized in Japan. Hohan Soken Sensei of Matsumura Seiko in an interview in Okinawa said that there are no blocks in Okinawan Karate.

One of my old friends and instructors, Don DePree, used to do Age Uke like a punch about 45 degrees forward from the shoulder and the fist about 45 degrees inward from the elbow. The feeling is like an attack to the opponent’s attacking arm and eliminates the problem some people develop of making the block with a lifting feeling, which is weak. Doing Age Uke with an attacking feeling gives a smaller Karateka a better chance of an effective block against a larger opponent.

Have you thought if you're not already, writing a diary of experiences visiting all these methods? Where noting nuances, intricasies. It'd make a very good book, as well as video. Engineering Karate. As this punch, the move of your bottom with the block even with some leg, then the reason for it being how it is. As you look at Isshinryu, it's similiar but instead from the side, it comes from bottom up. I mention it, where time goes on, getting exposed to so much, it'd get where as the block where it comes from the bottom, this could be apt to be forgotten. Trust me. Even if you did it for a whole week, where it's memorized, details can be forgotten. Which you having a better handle on English, you probably could use more descriptive words to explain it. Get old, you and/or Jessee will be the next old time karate masters, 😉. Computer with voice to write along with thesaurus for better words, you could write The Master Text. Or in conjunction with Jessee. "Engineering Kata". Which long Shotokan stance for entering at a distance, while kung fu also has long stances maintaining balance, but amplifying power as where the hand is glued to adversary's hand, the downward pressure makes him submit. In contrast to squatting. Which on a much larger opponent could give more leverage. Both are good, but different scenarios and person can be better than the other. Just mentioning. Yet the nuances and details is worth noting for future references.

I was told by my first Sensei in Shotkan who was a U.S. Military Veteran that Studied Shotokan Karate in Japan and Okinawa, that Gedan Barai was the most powerful Block in Karate WHEN it is done properly and I agree with him. However, when Gedan Barai is done improperly it is the worst block for someone to do. I don't know who taught you to do Gedan Barai or Shotokan Karate but, what I see from observing you is that you were not taught very well.

@@MarioUcomics yeh i know, and it's one of the reasons why karate is getting wors and worse the more is being passed down, peaple don't ask and if they do they don't get answers, and the meaning of staff get lost in the sands of time. This masters alwais say they want to pass down their martial art but what they do is make all efforts to kill it.

@@lorismarchitelli5274 I think that's why we have different channels though - this channel and specific series is great for seeing the traditionalist mindsets and the really nitty gritty details of techniques. Jesse Enkamp, Stephen Thompson, and a few others have great videos on bunkai, live sparring, etc. Yusuke also has some great sparring vids too, so I don't think he's ignoring the practical application either, just not showing it in every single video.

What is the point of calling something a block, when it is almost impossible to use in a real fight? The old man, couldn't use it even when he was young. Are we to keep believing that such traditional moves work when we know they don't? Living in a lie is not honourable, much more when others honour us for it...
