    The great thing with "blocks" in karate is interpretation is everything.
    Karate if studied right it is a Swiss Army Martial Art.

    Yondan in Shotokan, Quebec Canada. Great video. Often it’s the hikite hand that is parrying, redirecting or blocking and the “ blocking “ arm can be applied as a strike.

    How to make the blocks work? Treat them for what they are, which is not blocks. A culture that studied hand to hand combat for centuries would never “block attacks”. Practice the kata from a true self defense distance of inches away.

      Thank you for your feedback. Have a fantastic new 2024. I agree with you and my video, hopefully shared that same sentiment; to me, they are just like tools in your toolbox. You use them for various jobs and adapt them accordingly.

    Actually more te gumi. The downward block is an arm bar break. Think if my hand is blocking down my head is open. But if I pull the arm straight then hammer fist the elbow the arm breaks.

    Dropping some Troy in there, I like it. You didn't break his in five different ways though.

    What style is Mike? He has a Korean Flag patch on his Gi? Thank you! I went to Medical School in Philly. Small point, the first technique he showed. I think he was doing a down block to clear the lead hand. When I do that, I pull the person down and forward, getting his weight on the front leg and making his right hand inefficient, and I strike with a right cross.

    • @KarateUnity
      @KarateUnity  7 місяців тому +1

      Very cool. Mike studies Pilsung Moo Do (not sure if I spelled that right), an offshoot of Tang Soo Do.

    hmmmmm, is used so, there wouldnt be any need of blocks, they are performed as already existing strikes.....
    There is a little bending here

    • @KarateUnity
      @KarateUnity  Місяць тому

      Hmmmm….I’m not too sure what you’re trying to say here… perhaps you could show me some content to clarify…
      You are correct, there is bending going on, …. my mind is bent up over the lack of clarity of your comment…….

      @@KarateUnity I thought I would have never received an answer.
      I will try to be more clear, despite the written form.
      While I agree with the general concept and idea,
      the "form" of the blocks and strikes is different.
      If when you demonstrate the blocks, these take the form of strikes which are are already in karate, is lost the sense of why one is called block and the other not.
      Apparently the blocks are °bent° in a way that they could be called differently, like UCHI or other.

    • @KarateUnity
      @KarateUnity  Місяць тому

      thank you for your answer.
      Again, unfortunately, it is still unclear. It would be better if you film an example…. Not meant as a negative request, if you did film something I could walk it through with my team and understand better..
      Historically, and originally, the actual term for blocks was “uke waza”…. Meaning receiving technique….. this by definition, Opens up more applications, other than just stopping (for blocking) an attack…. Therefore, these supposed blocks can be utilized as tools for striking, stopping, locking, and throwing….. you don’t see this practice in the form, it is up to us to unlock this and train it as such….
      Blocks, along with many other karate techniques, need to be used as tools… they have to be flexible you have to adapt according to the situation….. that is why you see applications the way I demonstrate….. it’s flexible.
      Anyway, send me some content to your channel or to your friends channel so I could get a better understanding . Hope you’re doing well.🙌

      I am not native english speaker :But just to simplify my idea,
      I put this question.
      Which is the difference, if any, between a SOTO UKE (UCHI UKE depending on the school) and a TATE URAKEN UCHI?
      I hope this question leads you to correctly understand my point

    • @KarateUnity
      @KarateUnity  Місяць тому +1

      @@Eternaprimavera73 oh yes, I understand now, the difference is in the way you use it not the way it’s shown in the form. …. You have to take it and play with it in sparring and through scenario training with a resisting opponent through fighting, and then you will understand and unlock the many uses of these things
