defuaktset I wanted to add that these blocks comprise of the basic blocks all karate systems adopted from those first codified at Shoalin but was taught to other Asian Nations (outside of Shaolin making them fragmented or what we call 'boot-legged' that were in China after the 1900's before (they tried to kick them all out) and after the Infamous Chinese Boxer's rebellion. This is to say that they were using these as basics' centuries before they discovered Martial Arts. 5fold, 5 strikes; jab, hook, cross, uppercut, and palm. 5 blocks; outward, inward, upward, downward and inward/downward. 5 kicks; front, back, side, wheel/roundhouse, (from back leg) hook. 5 stances; horse, cat, forward, bow and arrow, broken bow. (when kung-fu was born before Gung-fu) They practiced this at Shaolin as fierce Bhraminiams (3500 years) and called it Chinese Boxing (what they are trying to call MMA now since JKD does not exist) This was built upon 2 variables, 1) they did not lift weights to build the body, and 2) they were able to successfully defeat anyone (weight class b4 there was weight class) who knew no self-defense. This is the same principle as karate and kung-fu (to beat someone who does not know anything about self-defense) so they compete against each other for practice. This divides the teaching into two parts, demonstration to teach, and application to practice. After Gung-fu (Mandarin for Cantonese Wu Shu) was discovered through created forms, (based upon the lotus sutra - that was completely changed by the Southern China Royal Palace - the I-Hseing and I-Chieng what yin and yang is based upon) in the process they added as extenuations of the punch, a palm, a hoof, and a claw (and more) and later formed hand movements with animals. For attacks that replaced all of the above (2nd school of Shaolin) by incorporating it into the newfound system called WuShu. (3rd school of Shaolin, there is 4th school now in Southern China) They also incorporated into the newfound system of kicks, hits, and tumbles. In the end, they were forced to move Martial Arts out of Shaolin to protect and preserve it as a monument of their heritage for discovering Chu'uan Fa WuShu as being founded at The Shaolin Temple in the region of Songshan Mountains in Dengfeng City in Henan Province. All in all Gung-fu will counter all karate and kung-fu blocks bc they were designed against those defensive moves by offensive counter-movements. So karate and kung-fu is mainly against attackers who do not know self-defense. Whereas, Gung-fu is designed to counter karate and kung-fu due to the fact that there are self-defenses whereas Gung-fu's only sole purpose is to break bones, maim and take life. That is why it is still secret. You can thank Bruce Lee for that. He made MartialArts extinct in America (except of those who know it from the Goldn Royal Gung-fu Federation.

What I found about blocking successfully is being proactive. I mean, "Don't wait for the opponent's fists coming to you, you come to his arms." You must reach for your opponent's arms to intercept them before they fully extend to get your body. Or, you attack the opponent's arms, not block fists. With this approach, you control the contact time, not your opponent. You also control the space/distance. Your opponent misses the target (you) because you shorten the distance; which is different from what he expects. Moreover, the upper arms move much slower and shorter in comparison with fists, so it is easier to intercept.

Karate blocks aren’t really blocks. Most are actually originally strikes, and locks. That is why you have the passive hand at the hip but it’s supposed to be active holding something. Change up the distance of you’re bunkai from mid to long range to close range which is what karate was originally intended for. Doing this you will find the true practical meaning of all kata movements not just “blocks”.

As an Arnisador who combines his art with boxing, the blocks also make more sense to me actually when it is used together with a guard and as the other guy said, being proactive and reaching arms to intercept. Like I always interpret those "karate blocks" or "kung fu blocks" more as a means where the hands are supposed to be or where they can move while applying a guard. For example, Philly shell or cross guard. If I'm orthodox, pointing with my left foot, I can use my left hand to move from covering my chin or to the side of my face in a manner that I sort of do a hybrid of inside and high block together with my elbow while my right hand covering my stomach can do the low block and I can also go vice versa with Southpaw(and I do this together as with my momentum of going up and down with my hips so i am could dodge and also setup my uppercut or forward jab). I can apply similar for the long guard both now both of my arms or one arm is reaching out, trying to intercept distance and strike, ready to counter. Ah, and I actually use my punches both as an attack, a defensive move and a feint like going low then high and even the reverse, sometimes I accidentally "block" a punch with a high punch aiming at the head. Oh and, I also interpret those blocks as a transition for a clinch or take down as well.

Concerning the body uppercut defense mentioned at 4:45 , I recommend using the knee to block some punches and blocking with your hands the other opponent's upcoming fist, in case his punches are too fast and confusing. In sparring, I used this method to block my sparring partner's low attacks and everytime, my knee would hurt his fingers. This Shaolin Kung Fu principle of body harmony, I got it from this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jryJq9N7vra6YKM.htmlsi=qIQwSoATSsN3l-_M But of course, when you move your leg and your arm at the same time, you see it in wrestling and grappling moves, which is what most of martial arts forms are.

Of course, not all techniques including those in blocking are for everyone. Karate techniques especially those learned from katas are intended to discipline and strengthen the body. Mental toughness and practicality of techniques are learned in actual situations. I believe that there is no right or wrong in the techniques being discussed. It is the TIMING and MENTAL TOUGHNESS which are most important in real fights...meaning, life or death situations. Blocking is not even necessary in most cases. You just have to evade and strike at the same time as reaction to attacks, if you really cannot avoid such violence.

I achieved Ni Dan at the Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu Karate Dojo in San Bruno California. I joined the Dojo in 1973. I made first degree Black Belt in 1976. I taught the Saturday class for three years. I introduced sparing in my class because I wanted real life situations. Because we didn’t do free sparing in the Dojo I had to be creative. I watched every martial arts training video from Black Belt Magazine, every movie. and tournament I could get my hands on and played the techniques over and over again in slow motion. I invited practitioners of other fighting styles to come and demonstrate various moves so my students can expand their fighting techniques. While training for third degree Black Belt I re-injured my right knee from an old motorcycle accident. So I gave it up. Retired and moved to Oregon. I continued to try to workout for a few years after moving here but eventually this place that was small to begin with became so cluttered I stopped working out all together. I will always cherish my memories of Okinawan Shorin Ryu karate Do at the Omine Karate Dojo.

@@continuousfist Ive trained in JKD, MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, Krav maga. Before it was all about fighting to me. I decide to go back to tradition. I was never a Kata lover, it was all about fighting. Never liked Kata. It was all about how can I train in something to kick ass in the streets if needed. This last year is when I've been training Kata the most. I came back to it because I needed a change, I do it for the discipline and to stay in shape and healthy. Practicing Kata Works out the entire body. Don't ge me wrong, In my mind there is still that thought that it doesn't work, maybe Im wasting my time. If I just punch, kick, elbow, knees would be more practical, yes it would be. But Kata puts me to concentrate. I always said; you get a 2 kids, one to practice Kata or the karate basics, and you get the other and teach them kickboxing/Muay Thai and to hit the bag spar full force. He would beat up the karate guy easily. Going to the Upper blocks you were talking about in your video, they don't work for punches, maybe for and over head stick attack. If i get in a self defense street situation, my nature is to go back to that type of violent fighting, knees, elbows, headbutts, in the clinch position, takedowns. From a distance is the front kick to the soler plex, groin, face. The strongest round house kick is the Thai style, anywhere from the calf all the way up to the head. Side kicks best applied is to the ankle, shin, knee, ribs or waist or to the solerplex.The punches from boxing are the most effective because of power applied from the entire body behind it.

Dear Sir, Excellent presentation, just one aspect the SPEED differential has been left out from the methodology. Beginners´s blocks of Age Uke, Gedan uke etc. are not so bad but slower, yet they cover a plane of potential threat. High speed attacks, however have to be countered by circular or semicircular blacks, as shown, but not justified enough! With reference to late Soke Yoshimi, the two hand blocks are the safer solution: - the first a high speed block - then completed with a wider scope but naturally slower, classical block. Methodology and Mix of the two are the solution. Best regards and good students . Paul,68, retired instructor. - then completed with a wider scope but naturally slower, classical block.

honestly, all these block techniques was what I was taught while taking Kung Fu. The upwards block is used for downward moving attacks like from a bo staff, or a hand chop. everything else is what you're showing here, the inside/outside is good for higher angled strikes, and downward block is for lower angled strikes. the blocks are much better as redirecting the strike vs trying to stop the momentum

All the 8 blocks here exist in karate. The main point being raised here is how one go from learning basics to making part of oneself through practice (that's why some masters will tell you the day you are granted a black belt that your karate is starting that day 😊). Also, note that karate as most of martial art if not all is a way of life, i.e. a lifetime journey. I do agree that some techniques might seem simpler and more efficient in some traditions than in others, but again it is definitely all about the practitioner. Another saying goes like this "if you're rich and do not know how to stand, then you're a giant with feet of clay". So karate as martial art is a whole and it is too simplistic to summarize things the way they are done here. Thanks

Some blocks are more appropriate for the situation at hand. Are you already in a fighting stance with your hands up fighting someone and they throw a jab? You might perform an inside block. Are you in a relaxed state going about your day, standing with your hands down by your sides and someone suddenly attacks you? You might perform an upper block.

What style or type of karate are you doing here, to me it looks more like wing chung or kung fu, i have a shotokan background where the blocks are mostly wlth closed fist.They are very strict on your form kibadachi or horsestance during kata

When teachers are strict with kata without showing in a realistic situation is when students have doubts about their training. I hope I can share good content in my videos for you to look at different angles of training.

It looks very similar to Wing Chun Gung Fu.

Sink your stance, lower the center of gravity down and your block will damage the attacker. Karate blocks are designed to damage even by defence. That is why they say ‘karate ni sente nashi’

I took karate/ tang soo do and i get whay you mean. But the moment i saw trying to grab a punch, its anti climax. We have tried/ xperiment, it just dont work/ unrealistic against a real pressure punches mimicking a real fight
@continuousfist6 ай бұрын
You are right. The grabbing is just to show variations of what you can do after, but the point is just that initial block to get out of the way or into the way.
