Latetly i've been hooked on the work of people like Sensei Patrick McCarthy, Sensei Jesse Enkamp, Sensei John Titchen, and their effort to shed some light on Karate's history and it's more traditional (intended, if i'm allowed to say so) self defense applications. I deeply appreciated your work and your message and it's respect for Karate, thank you Sensei!!!

Excellent breakdown. Appreciate it sensei.

Free diamonds. Big big thank you for that. Salute.

As always in sutch demonstrations there is always a fallacy, being the uke; i'm not trying to be mean or anithing, but eaven in common selfdefence it's likely that wen a punch comes forward, it will soon come backwards, so in reality, there is no time to do anitying other than wat you call "brush" before the opponent retracts the punch. The reason this all thing of bloking like this existed in the contex of early karate were power was generated by shifting the COG of the all body to strike, witout wipping or turning the hips like in modern karate, then, if the opponent punches like that the blocking motion finds his lost meaning. Sensei Yoshitomo Yamashiro and sensei Watanabe Shinji explained this in many youtube videos. Torite done in this way is "karate to fight karate", for self defence or modern combat sports, wrestling and boxing defences are just easyer and more effective.

Oh Karate Wing Chun cool.

Your still doing two moves to your attackers one move and you make the mistake of stepping to your attackers inside where he can hit you with his other fist Are you sure you're a black belt What you demonstrate makes no sense If you're interested blocks are actually strikes check Patrick McCarthy for into on how to apply them ...
