appliedshotokan.com SHUTO UKE, often referred to as 'knife hand block' is a very versatile technique. In this video, a practical application from a clinch will be explored. The rear arm (hikite) is used to trap the attacker's arm while the front limb is used to strike the attacker twice. This is an example of what Motobu Choki called 'Meotode' or 'Husband and Wife Hands'. The hikite in shuto uke is often incorrectly thought of as a means to generate power or to protect the solar plexus. This line of thinking is false as the hikite has many practical applications.

I was a wrestler in highschool, reminds me of pummeling drills. Thank you for demonstrating the grappling aspects of Karate.

Allen Sensei, I love these drills. Although a Shotokan practitioner now, I studied some Kali in the late 80s, and this reminds me of some of the things I retained from those days. Every fist followed by the elbow, a never ending striking machine from as many angles and tools as you have. Thank you for demonstrating how these old techniques do apply to my current studies.

This is really great. Fighting from a clinch, not long range karateka vs karateka style fighting, good use of shuto uke, good gripping and fighting to change the grip, and added dirt to make it more real. I was lucky enough to train at Iain Abernethy's dojo last night, and we practised, as you would expect, a lot of fighting from close range: one on one, multiple opponents, group against group, defending one group member from another group, and so on, alongside pad work and applications of Pinan/Heian Godan. Great stuff! I came away with bruises in places I didn't even know I had places! As a Shotokan practitioner, I would love to be able to visit and train with you - but Canada is a long way away! Maybe one day!

simon_c Thank you for your kind words, Simon. Iain is amazing and has been a huge source of inspiration for me. Close range fighting is so important for practically minded martial artists, especially Shotokan practitioners who typically only engage in 'sport' sparring. Have you ever been to Iain's residential course? I'm going next May. 4 days of nothing but karate!

I see you saw the photos on Iain's Facebook page - those are my feet sticking out as I get a good kicking on the floor! It's also me getting punched in the head on one of the pictures by a third person whilst grappling an opponent. I don't seem to have done too well!

Really nice. I think this might start as a response to a jab when you are holding a low fence. (He jabs with left, you slap it away with your left and stab at his throat with your right. Then use the right to pull his arm back and the left to hit his neck.) After that you could flow straight into this as you'd be at close range and almost grappling anyway and he could be hitting you with the other hand.

Bullshit Shotokan was not design for close combat. Uche-uke has abdolute different base application in shit ry or even in winchun.

@AppliedShotokan 4 ай бұрын

Very insightful, thanks. Shotokan lost its close combat roots. In the process, the true value of kata was also lost. Kata became nothing more than a performance, or movement for the sake of movement. For the past several years, I have been investigating the close range applications of kata. This video has nothing to do what kata was designed for. It deals with a practical approach to karate as well as practical kata interpretation.

@@AppliedShotokan Of course Shotokan is from Shorin-Ryu and it's 100% close combat. It's more like later on Shotokan got mixed with Kendo and western kickboxing styles to change in the way it is today.

Every kata is ment for close combat.
