In this video the five basic blocks of Shotokan karate are introduced, and the real meaning of the word "uke" is explained. The blocks are all performed on the spot in Part 1.
For neophytes like me, your instructions are invaluable; Thank you very much, Sensei! For reference, I have posted the beginning time of each section Age Uke/Rising Block 0:30 Meaning of the word "Block"/"Uke" 1:40 Age Uke slow: from 3:27 Soto Uke/Outer Block 4:44 Uchi Uke/Inside Block 5:37 Gedan Barai/Downward Block 6:33
Thank you Obi-Won. Wonderful breakdown of how to "receive" and "redirect"- and I am learning how to use my hips correctly as well and twist the wrist at the right time
Thank you very much for all the effort you put in these videos. I just started karate 2 weeks ago at my 44 bday, and your videos make it easy to understand the technical movements. Thanks
I used to train in shotokan karate when I was 11 I stopped because my big brother left due to shoulder problems, but I have been meaning to re-learn everything again, these videos are very helpful because I only remember a few blocks, punches and sequences from karate as I only trained up to blue belt before I left and to be fair it was 5/6 years ago. Thank you for your demonstration in this branch of martial arts
Taekwondos roots are primarily from Tang Soo Do, Martail Arts are amazing to be a part of no matter what style enjoy your training place all your effort and become the best you possible through your training.
Shotokan Sensei Sir Thank you for sharing this video with us. 下段払い(げだんばらい) or Gedan Barai is a downward sweep. The 漢字 or kanji 下段(げだん)GEDAN:means downward and 払い(ばらい)BARAI:means to sweep. Osu
Wow job well done Sensei Sir actually found a Shotokan Karate club not too far from were i stay and iam very fascinated as well as intrigued to study this discipline really soon great video!!!
Well, I come from a different (but related) style, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! I am keen to learn more about Shotokan Karate, because I see it as a parent style (perhaps an Honoured Uncle) to my own, & the quality of demonstration and explanation here was amazing. Thank you! I hope you take this as the compliment it is intended, but I would put this video on par with Shihan John Richards...it's THAT good!
este es el mas perfecto arte de blokear al enemigo y salvarte de un golpe. por eso gracias maestro por este video y las personas apredan a defenderse y lo usen para bien. gracias
Excellent blocking.when blocking larger force two ways to deflect with less force is for block to travel up arm absorbing force of blow instead indexing power directly. another way is to let block recede and rotate with force. in all indexing is not bad if desired for arm strikes if properly conditioned yet it may not always be desired. Also keeping elbows close to centerline increases reaction time as well as power as elbow and body reinforces and drives power along centerline.
i realised that most traditional karate like goju ryu uses a lot of circular movements while japanese karate uses linear movements . in goju , we performed our gedan barai using a circular method . also , when we move from stance to stance , we also uses circular movements .
I love these videos. I appreciate clear and detailed explanations and analyses, and I hope I am this clear with my own students. I do find the comments sections fascinating though, on an anthropological level. Many of the positive comments are coming from new students (white through yellow belts) and from seasoned karateka (shodan and higher). In both cases, the commenters seem to appreciate the breakdown and the detailed discussions of the shapes of the techniques and the physics behind them. However, the most derisive comments seem to come from those who are well passed the stage where they are learning the shape of the form but have not yet earned their black belts or are coming from people who themselves admit to having little to no experience with Japanese or even Asian martial arts. To the blue through brown belts I ask, do you not remember how much difficulty came with learning the various different kinds of coordination, muscle memory, and breakdowns when you first started? To those with no practical experience with Japanese martial arts, such as the boxers or the wrestlers and the like, when you were first learning to fight, did your teachers break down how to punch, how to step, how to defend yourselves and then take those breakdowns and help you put them together to form a solid technique? Or did they just throw you into the ring with no training, precaution, or care for your safety? And how upset would you be if someone with no practical experience of your fighting system came up and told you there was no substance to your style? I am reminded of the definition of sophomore. Literally, wise fool. It refers to those who think they know everything, who don't know how to admit when they are wrong, and know just enough to be dangerous but not nearly enough to have control. Everyone does this at some point in their lives (hence the naming of the second year of high school and college), but no one need stay in a sophomoric state. We are all still learning, and no matter how advanced, we all need to go back and reexamine the basics. So please, don't be that person.
Very well put Chris, these videos are mean't to be merely an introduction to the most fundamental aspects of Karate, nothing more. Unfortunately there are those who cannot/ will not see that...
I was taught that the fist/hand position at the end of all of these blocks (except shuto uke) is to be as it would if you were punching; first two knuckles in line with the forearm bones, and top of the "back" of the fist in line with the top of the forearm.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. All the best to you!
