Soto Uke (outer arm block, also using the hammer fist "Tetsui") is one of the most effective Karate blocks/attacks. In this example you are executing on the attacker's inside (his most vulnerable position) but you must watch out for the other arm, thus your hit must deflate his foundation and posture so his other arm is neutralized temporarily. It cannot just be a surface tap, you must have serious KIME (penetration) otherwise his attack will continue. Here we follow up with a palm strike to his face/head as the block will have the effect of bringing his entire side of the body down (towards you) and his neck will be completely exposed, do not wait, meet his head on its way down (like 2 cars in a head on collision). A note of caution, beware of his head butting into your face if your block is very effective, it can happen and you can end up with a broken nose as a result, so always fight with your back straight. Ending it off is an elbow strike to the chest (show here) specifically in the sternum. The follow up elbow can also target the face/head. As you step behind him for the leg trip he should already be on his way down so the finishing throw should be very easy. Always hang on to his arm to apply an arm lock to control if necessary (its just good practice).
I love the continues flow of defense and counter attack, this is going back to Karate's Kung-fu influence and Okinawan roots
Great question, in general when you use closed fisted arm strikes (like these blocks) they were meant to cause pain and damage (not just deflections like most people use them) thus you could say why bother closing the fist if it makes no difference than with open hand. There is a big difference when you do it right. Close fisted is for power hitting, open hand is for deep cutting. It all depends on what you want to do to your opponent and the circumstances. But I love your question!
Increible, llevo mucho tiempo buscando los bunkai. Ahora con estos videos tengo mucho que estudiar.
Muchas gracias
Thanks for the series, many greetings from Bavaria / Germany
thank you for your answer, now is better explained! I believe that this question there is in so much peoples that practice Karate. Thank you
Mis hermanos de Sur America! I agree, it all boils down individual senses and ability to make Karate real, then it will be real in the dojo + his students will learn well. This is a battle we have to fight hard, to educate, to tell others that karate has to work, practice realism in your dojo, no playing around with unrealistic stuff, condition hard, hit hard, enjoy the colors black and blue, they are the only things that educate well. Cuidate bien y hablamos pronto. Mandame unas fotos de uds.
Simple,yet most effective
Beautiful technique and powerful movements. I tried to look up your website but it's down. do you have a new site? I would be happy to see it.
Thank you
Albert
Hello,
would very much like to work out with you, but we live on the other side of the world, but maybe I'm coming times to Hawaii, a beautiful idea!
Perhaps you could recommend me a book on bunkai.
Thanks in advance.
Albert
Hi Sensei, you´re having more and more virtual friends from southamerica. If one of these days you came to Argentina let us know.
We can have some pratice together and then have an ASADO (barbecue)!!
Great video, as always!
Well it is safe to say that the early days when Funakoshi started he had to tread lightly to stay in step with the Butokukai's way and the whole political situation. Funakoshi was in a unique situation "right place at right time', also he may have been prepared educationally for this task, but I don't think for one minute he was the best karateka for teachign Karate to Japan, Motobu or Miyagi would have done much better.
All said that karatr can't become hand to hand combat is it truth sensei i saw that you show me very effective way to defend
...hello man, I tell you that here in Uruguay and Argentina that where are very good Karate level and of course sensei s, you really see this application included shotokan.
The problem is not in what ryu, the problem is in what dojo you are training; for example, I went to a class with Nishiiyama before he died and most black belts there had no good skills, so those guys will be teaching or passing nothing good at all, no matter the Dan.
Hu? Why not? Even not being a great friend of the JKA, this is still a quite generic karate application and there are quite many JKA teachers that would show this or similar things.Also, I am not sure if it was Funakoshi's fault. You've got to put it into a historical context and then you'll notice that all the karate pioneers had to drop quite a lot so that the Dai Nippon Butokukai and japanese authorities would adopt karate. Also: Karate was never "mainstream" before!
Nice! I like it.
Greetings to you! What style do you practice?
Oneminutebunkai excellent channel! Recommended by Ramsey Dewey
Funakoshi in his first book, talk about kyusho jitsu, takedowns, grappling into kata bunkai, after 1935 (? not sure about date) he changed that, cause the okinawa masters wont to show their ''secret technics'' to japanese.. JKA and many japanese style are just sport karate, I am yondan in shotokan, but if I was 100% JKA or SKIF, my karate would be based on sport not budo, sport is good, but its not budo for real self defense
fight MMA artist and prove it works?????
I'm sorry to say but, Soto Uke (Shotokan) = useless. Try to do this slow movement in a real fight ( you know, where the attacker strikes more than just one time...), opening your guard this way, and you'll just be hit.
I take it you practicing your Shotokan in your own way making it retro so it is more like the original Funakoshi Karate before it was modified. If so how are you achieving this?
There is a lot os good stuff out there. Here are a few-

Dear CarlK70,
Glad to hear from you and thank you for your things up!
Well I was in Chile (Patagonia) last year. Perhaps Argentina is next and I look forward to it.
Dear Antonio,
You nailed it, that is exactly right.
I agree with the "tread lightly" thing. But on the rest I'm not so sure (anymore). Being mere humans every karate pioneer had his strengths and weaknesses. So far so good. If we analyse the changes Gichin Funakoshi made to kata the we will notice that some changes do make sense from a combative point of view. Others do from a methodical or didactical point of view. But we'll notice something else: Many changes in "his" karate started with his son 1935+ and went further with the JKA in the 50s+.
ahahaha Ive recently passed in my yondan test ahahahaha though this is not how the JKA would interpret kihon applications I used to train with them. What your sharing though is digging the old stuff that Funakoshi sensei discarded to make Karate mainstream again my thanks Osu.
Hi sensei! Actually I was researching about the basic block techniques (Age Uke, Soto Uke, Uchi Uke, Gedan Barai) and I have doubts about that. I would like to know, why are this block closed fist? Because when they are performed as defense, they bring pain in arms and legs of opponent? Could you please, talk more about this?
Thank you!
Budo is an inner struggle, bujutsu is the outer struggle... I think.
So if you were doing JKA or SKIF, you would infact be doing Budo.
Great! Just let me know if you do a seminar or something in Buenos Aires and I´ll be there! Even doing diferent styles you always learn something useful from another sensei.
You'd better execute the technique very fast before his other hand swings at your totally open side with a vicious hook. Just ask any boxer.
Would be better with some sticking and grabbing, also attackers don't usually use stylised karate techniques
yes right... budo is more spiritual and for the health.... bojutsu is martial
