Hello, I am a kyokushinkai practitioner and im very intrigued/interested in learning euchi-ryu, ive been searching the web for quite some time in hopes of finding a good chanel to learn from, the technique you demonstrated with hire-te-komi looks to be very effective, if you could make more videos instructing euchi ryu (starting with the basic principles)you would be really helping me pursue my passion in Karate-Do, Osu
Washin kan karate is also a very good style my sensei is the real deal based in australia and is very respected throughout the martial arts world. but this i havnt seen i am interested would like to see a bit more of this and see if its practical in the streets maybe i xould incorporate this into my style which i am currently putting together with katas and self defence Only difference with my style is i teach to strike first and strike hard and in certain situations no mercy I know this sounds like cobra kai but its practical and it works and yes i have taken some of the philosophy of cobra kai and put it in my style. When i have polished it up i will be opening my own dojo and take the tournament scene by storm cause the style i am putting together is very aggressive and from what i have seen in the tournament circuit these days its a joke
@@sfkingalpha jt aint a direct copy of cobra kai lol. Its only some if it i have taken like i have taken some things from different arts and mixed it with my own stuff and then when its ready i will put it out there. karate gets a very bad name for itself and alot of it is trial and error i will see something i like then i will practice it if it is practical and it works i keep it, if it doesnt i fuck it off. Alot of fake blackbelts out there simply because they are bought and not earned
Interesting concept. I know nothing about uechi ryu, but I've met someone who practices this style, it's really insteresting in general. Many martial art masters says something like "the tact is faster than other senses", trying to explain that you really need to be in contact with your opponent in order to feel better their reaction. This kind of defensive stance gives you a wide range of possibilities, between feel and redirect the opponent strikes. If my observation is correct, you can switch between any kind of position or specific block starting from this particular stance, you can even apply some aikido concepts too.
I'd disagree with the aikido part. Aikido (taught horribly 99% of the time) is about two things: irimi and kuzushi. The final throw/pin/joint lock is at best the icing on the cake once you've accomplished the other two; more often, it's really just irrelevant after a proper kuzushi. The principles shown here don't really engage with an irimi/kuzushi structure.
This blocking technique appears to be more about footwork than hand placement. Will this technique work in a small space against hook, upper cut, straight jab to the face, etc?
Probabbly not, but there are so many other types of blocking/defends/grappling in Karate, there are many techniques for jabs, upper cut etc. Its just now how to give an application to Katas
Not to mention bodyshots and kicks. Everyday martial arts is a lie and money waster. There are other fighting techniques taught to special forces around the world that are truly effective in offensive and defensive styles.
Check out Karate Dojo Waku's recent video of him going to Okinawa and learning from Uechi-ryu master. They actually go over the blocking technique and explain it a bit more in depth.
Not my style, but I use a very similar block. Mostly people hurt their own hands by punching my elbows and forearms. The defender's open hands and fingers can bend and be pushed back, without being damaged. The biggest danger, for the defender, is a jammed thumb--if the attacker is wearing a gi or jacket. This is avoided by keeping the thumb close to the rest of the fingers. Both the fingers and the thumb should also be kept slightly curled in, at all times, such that, if a force strikes them straight from the tip, along their length, they easily and naturally curl closed instead of bending backwards or getting jammed... now that I say all this, I realize the exact angles of the wrists, and fingers, and thumb, are all subtle, and important, as is maintaining semi-relaxation in all those parts... the learning process definitely involves some amount of jammed fingers and thumbs... that being said, the instructors conclusion is pretty accurate... you can defend successfully against a large percentage of punches in a very relaxed manner, this way, which helps free up your 'cognitive burden' so you can see openings and timings better... however, you have to spar a lot and know that you can't ONLY use this passive block...
I love Uechi, it's my core system but in this case the teacher is underextended with each punch. Yes the young man's blocks are working but if he hadn't blocked the punches would not have been in range to hit him. Once I got to an intermediate level and above in Uechi we would intentionally range ourselves such that if we missed the block we'd get hit.
@@ryandean29 Not in this video. The tori's lunge is short - and is not undertaken with any intent to reach his target. So his advance stops short, giving the uke plenty of time to move away. There isn't the slightest chance he will hit the uke.
This block without any counterstriking is probably not the best suggestion. I've seen plenty of mma fights where the aggressive fighter breaks through a hands up defense only to get taken down by a punch that gets through. You can only back up and circle for so long until a hard strike lands on the face or a low attack comes then it's game over. I would say that blocking one or two strikes THEN counterstriking would be the best formula for success.
it´s neccesary to use the footwork, because we need drive the rang of motion and the distance of combat. We can use hands, but, if you don´t use your legs, you almost dead. the same way to MMA practicioner.
That defense would leave him knocked out unfortunately in most cases. Simply punching over or through the hands. The attack in this case might be "full power", but it's only done with a 1 step on each punch so perhaps it's more for karate instruction specifically. But an attacker would likely be more erratic and aim for the face, etc.
@@francoisnel5253 this technique work for straight punch. Tsuki or jab or a direct. Could work with some hook punch, but with a lot of movement in the hips. There is no perfect defenses. You have to adapt to the situation. But this position allow you to absorb straight punch efficiency.
It will only hit your arms (or nothing at all) because you are constantly moving backwards, go and try to upper cut someone who is moving backwards haha, it's damn imposible
I don’t understand the hand position, is something going on with those? Is there a function to them? It appears, from the outside at least, that holding the hands up in more or less any position (boxing stance for example) would work just as well as long as the blocker is able to move their feet in the same way. Is that right or is there something else going on?
is that really a genuine Uechi Ryu technique? I thought Uechi Ryu uses the swipe-out or in blocking or parrying from the normal position and not in that unnatural position as shown in this video.
This example is for pretty long range. Overhand or playmaker are medium range. Always adapt your technique to the situation. And let see who is the best for that. You will never have any guarantees you can with the fight. Simple as that.
That's a terrible block. You block to maintain your distance to your opponent. There's no point in blocking attacks you're moving away from especially if you're already out of range.
If that is children with a blackbelt in the backround then this is a mcdojo, children should not have blackbelts until they are atleast sixteen yrs of age
Children have had black belts in various martial arts since the invention of the belt system. Children have been instructing and managing martial arts schools forever. So, what you're saying is not true. Also, before you generalize confine your statement to your own neck of the woods. Other arts, other countries have child black belts without issue (>13) . It may not work for your organisation or location but it works for them.

Never move straight back. Move at angles. Footwork and movement are key. Shodan uechi ryu. Rick Martin sensei.
The punches aren't in range to actually strike the target as hes simply moving away, so the power of the punches is immaterial.

That in addition to that he knows the punches are coming.

The tori was not under extending his punches but the Uke’s footwork was keeping him out of range.
@@ryandean29 Interesting, he was closing off the centerline...I wonder how they would handle a looping punch coming in from the outside inward.

I agree it is not meant to be able to block for infinity. Always counter as soon as you can.
will this. work against a muay thai fighter
I have never seen someone defending this way
I have also never seen it on an actual fight. Have only seen people drilling it and i think that i have also seen it in movies.

What is that block called and how does it work?
Great video thank you for sharing this.
What if someone throw an upper cut
adapt to to the situation

Try that with an overhand right or a haymaker, you will be knocked out !
This example is for pretty long range. Overhand or playmaker are medium range.
Always adapt your technique to the situation. And let see who is the best for that.
You will never have any guarantees you can with the fight. Simple as that.
Ok, now a 3th surprise punch (what they didn't learned in the training)..... He will KO.
I wanna see this with someone who is actually trying to hit the other person
