Excellent explanation, im a practicioner of uechi ryu, however i have really struggled with the circle block in live sparring and am now trying to really focus in on that technique specifically. This was a huge help in understanding the fundamentals of this block
Hi Sir. Thank you for your video. It's very appreciable to watch someone spending time to give valuable information. My own understanding of Mawashi Uke: 1.Our first movement presses the outside of opponent's arm to deflect it to the other side of the body. No matter if our hand reaches our own opposite shoulder (two advantages : neutralize opponent's attack and interfere with his possibility to use his other arm). 2.Our second arm can do several things : a) Hit he opponent in the belly, b) Then grasp the outside of opponent attacking arm in order to, again, interfere with his possibility to use his other arm and c) and pull his arm in order to throw the opponent off balance. 3. Our first arm (which hand is near our opposite shoulder) hit the opponent in the head, then grasp his face, trachea, nose or hair and pull it, in order to break his neck, or at least achieve to throw him off balance and make him fall down. Of course, Mawashi Uke can be use for a group of other tactical actions with exactly the same frame of movement. The most important is to respect biomechanical, strategic and tactical principles taught by the technique called Mawashi Uke (Circular Block is a very funny and restrictive name but it is not so important). Hope to see more video from you. BR
Thank you for your detailed comments Alexandre. You share some excellent points which help make the lesson on mawashi-uke even more beneficial. Thank you again for your contributions and support.
Thank you for this video, Quimby Sensei. I'm getting to the point in my training where I should be doing two-handed circle blocks, (4th kyu), and these drills will definitely prove useful.
That's one of my chronic problems. I can punch people and be confident that I'm in control of the strike and won't hurt them. I don't have the same kind of control in my lower body yet so I'm very shy about kicking people.
And when they duck their head knee them to the face and when they block your attack elbow them with the grabbing arm. This technique has won me every fight expect againts wing chun
I have trained with Japanese and with westerners what makes it unbearable about training with westerners is that they speak toooo much, it is true we need explanation but too much is just tiresome. Japanese, on the other hand, explain just the necessary and and rest is practice by imitation.
Thank you for your comment Nev. I've had very similar experiences, where must of what was communicated verbally during the lesson had limited, if any value at all. With westerners, at least here in the states, I've found that all too often there is a void of key information, even fundamental information, which when lacking causing the technique to be ineffective. This is often the case even with more seasoned or experienced students, which is why I believe so much is producing higher quality training videos. As one of my teachers is fond of saying, "education is communication." Thanks again for sharing your perspective.
That was really informative and just fun to do . Absolutely useful in real world application. Thank you Quimby Sensei....🥋
Very kind of you to visit sensei. Feel free to always chime in. Osu!
Used it in boxing practice a few times, it was pretty effective even under that ruleset

Thank you very much for these informations about the most used block in Uechi Ryu!
Glad it was helpful!

I'm sure you will get there Mr. Hosford. Keep up the great work.
It really confuses mma types when they attack you,I generally use it to block and grab at the same time
And when they duck their head knee them to the face and when they block your attack elbow them with the grabbing arm. This technique has won me every fight expect againts wing chun
@@edtheangler4930 harden,they break themselves,mma is pure aggression,stupid way to fight ,they break themselves
Bassai day
Might want to find a way to block your fork from the dinner plate. Really packing on those pounds dude !
LMAO, that is awesome!
