Shuto uke application

[@TheGasWoks]

This seems to be the most logical explanation I have found in Karate until now. Good explanation using the word 'Syllable', cohesion between hand and feet movements, block and load at the same time. With this in Bunkai the kata's come to life.

Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

@Brodie Taylor instablaster :)

[@brodietaylor7467]

@Edward Kyrie I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@brodietaylor7467]

@Edward Kyrie It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@edwardkyrie2292]

@Brodie Taylor No problem =)

I have just learnt shuto uke and was looking for some extra information, so glad I came across this. Excellent explanation and demonstration.

[@GKRKarate]

Hi Riaz, this is Shuto Uke against a straight punch. It can be applied also again a swinging punch (not shown here) and in grappling (also not shown here).

[@IbrahimKhalil-bt9yh]

The way I would use shuto uke to block the punch would be on the first syllable and on the second syllable I would pull opponent's arm or lapel as I deliver the shuto uke to the opponent's neck

Who the hell disliking such good video.

[@MusaMills1]

Excellent. Watching from Trinidad

[@pasqualedinuzzo8260]

Very interesting explanation, Thank you!

[@HowlingWolfLeather]

This is absolute gold!!

[@bakytorazymbet3690]

You have just explained what I was guessing about Thanks! OSS

[@kennsthetics]

Im training karate , and i felt like kata's are not good but when i saw this vid im amazed

[@hetoverseo3887]

Try Kyokushin if you don't like Katas, Katas are mostly training to get good form/movement, it's repetition.

[@oluride]

New insight there...oss!

[@אביבמוצפי-ב5ק]

Great one!!!

[@folaazeez]

Interesting...

[@reeceagland1980]

Wow

[@makethelaughs]

Why are all the black belts looking intently as though this is a new concept? One lady is even taking notes yet she's a black belt. Seriously, these people should already know this basic application or stop pretending they are advanced students!

[@willjames7385]

makethelaughs if you have been taught one method all your life, it only takes someone new to show a different idea. Also, just because you have a black belt, as I do, doesn't mean you know everything. There is always something new to learn such as an industry expert would have to complete continual professional development. Even the most simplest of blocks/strikes can be stripped down to learn something new.

[@KasaiHasuki]

Any time spent with a shihan is valuable time which you should take as much from as possible even if it’s things you already knew because they often have a different view of it. Being a black belt doesn’t mean your learning suddenly stops and you’re an expert on every aspect of your style..

[@Kiwigeo8339]

You dont stop learning once you get your first black belt...in fact this is the point where the learning really ramps up.

[@metalema6]

All of this is just a misinterpretation of the "loading" for blocks. The chudan-uke is done with your guard up and just moving the arm 10 centimeters to the side; but when you take a step towards or away from the opponent, there is dead time during which you're vulnerable, so you cover mid-technique with the other arm. For the shuto, the reasoning for which it can't block at the start of the video is a bad fallacy. It works just like a close handed block does. Blocks should be done with the intent of pressuring the opponent, to then punch right after, regardless of whether he does the punch you expected. You can't rely on the opponent to move the way you expect, but blocks are not taught for no reason.

[@GKRKarate]

There are countless applications for shuto uke (even in grappling). This one was just showing one that followed the exact movement of the technique.
