Exploring my ideas on why Soto-Uke is practiced the way it is in most Shotokan dojo.

Brilliant! This is going to take away lots of useless tension from my soto-uke. Thank you, really appreciated.

Thank you, Sensei! Those who think they are advanced, but do not place emphasis on Kihon, are NOT really advanced at all. Your teaching methods are right on point!

Hello; I observed not only in Karate but in many many things that the wiser or ancient Masters did not over think stuff. Most were "naturals" too. However; this point of view that you are explaining, is well worth and would be good (in this case Karate) to see the (possible) whole picture. Thanks

Excellent explanation, Richard sensei! I really like your way of teaching about unlocking, light arm and heavy body, etc. I find it difficult to keep shoulders, arms relaxed and getting power from the belly/hara, but these video’s are very helpful. Hopefully see you soon. Osu.

Osu, something to think about when drilling multiple reps!

Thank you for the video! I really liked your logic. Can you please comment on the non-blocking hand. Is there a difference if it's a fist or fingers are extended?

Good question. In my opinion, of the 5 really fundamental shotokan blocks (gedan-barai, age-uke, soto-uke, uchi-uke & shuto-uke) only age-uke (because it's most likely a downward parry) and shuto-uke (obviously because it'll be a nukite or an open-hand parry) should have the opposing hand open. The other blocks it's possible of course but more likely that the opposing hand should be closed because of the potential for punching with it.

Also, maybe you know why in kata soto-uke is much much less used than uchi-uke or other blocks. Why this block is so rare?

@richardamos3173 4 жыл бұрын

I always wondered that too. I use soto-uke way more than any other block like most people. Maybe it's because the action of soto-uke is easier and well represented by many shuto-uchi? Or because uchi-uke is important in the body-balance development - which I mention in one of these videos. difficult to say for sure of course.

I like your technik, very useful and i learned a lot, Thanks. But,... and please don't understand me wrong, it's a question not a impudence try to correct you. But doesn't your move up of your hikite to the half step soto-uke lose the center of your body? Uss gakusei Ines

Thanks for the question. I'm not exactly sure what you mean but I'll try to comment on what I think you might be suggesting. Part of the reason for the midway "prep" position of soto-uke (for both hands, not just the hikite one) is to test the dominance of the centre of the body; to see whether the arms will "take over" or "distract" the body from its role as controller. If you can square the body AND shoot out the hikite arm from that lower belly source movement, then you will have freedom to apply your limbs in many situations.

Someone has beaten me to the reply. Check out the link from slink007. This is a privately owned full-time dojo in Norwich, UK and the headquarters of the ESKA.
