Soke Inoue Yoshimi - Always use both arms to block - Seminar Italy 2013

- Soke Inoue Yoshimi, Rika Usami's legendary master, explains the importance of always using both arms when performing a block in Karate. Blocking using only one arm is the basic approach commonly taught to beginners. However, in real world applications (bunkai), a single-arm block may be ineffective to deflect a powerful attack, because weaker and less protective than the corresponding double-arm counterpart. In contrast, when using both arms, the first arm can rapidly intercept and redirect the attack and the second can deflect it effectively. Soke Inoue demonstrates that this method can be applied to all blocks in Karate, including yoko uke (side block), shuto uke (knife hand block), gedan barai (lower block), age uke (upper block) and mawashi uke (circular block, as seen in kata Suparimpei). Furthermore, it is valid against both punch (tsuki) and kick (keri) attacks. To maximise speed and efficacy (especially during close combat situations), it is important to keep both arms close to the centre line (i.e. sagittal plane) of the body, rather than opening them at the start of the block. In addition, a leg can be used at the same time as the block to counter-attack while standing on a single-leg stance, for example to kick or destabilise the opponent.

I recorded this video during Soke Inoue's seminar held in Caorle (Venice, Italy) on 18-20 October 2013. The seminar was organized by Sensei Francesco Favaron, founder of Inoue-Ha Shito-Ryu Italy:

A great lesson. I am sure his students miss Inoue Sensei very much. I know I miss him, and I only ever benefitted through RUclips, which by that way I am eternally grateful for. These videos are wonderful and a worthy Legacy to Inoue Sensei.
I wonder if that little extra 'oomph' on the thrown at 4.04 was because the partner kept stuffing-up the maegeri, and Sensei wanted to remind him that he still has it.
Such a charismatic sensei, he just radiates the love for karate.

Well, dear and esteemed Soke Inoue Yoshimi: This is what I have been explained long-long ago. In fact, if decided to block, then a half-solutions seldom help and only make you more vulnerable against a determined attacker. Many, many thanks and good health. Paul, 67, retired instructor of Karate.
Grazie ancora,
Master Soke Inoue Yoshimi, 🙏
oss....thanks for the sharing
Black Belt in 1995 - not active but regular self practice,
the linear practice with blocks are useless except non contact sports karate, thats why i moved on kick boxing and same doing for my kids also.
Esteemed Alessandro Timmi,
One more remark to support Soke Yoshimi Inoue´s double-hand defence philosophy:
With my over 30 years of Karate instructor´s past, with my most humble approach let me say that:
Yoshimi´s Passive double hand defence also applies to Stand-by as well as to Active actions, where, e.g. by Sanseru or Seipai forms (Go-Ju Ryu), the two hands help in initiating an attack. Best regards- Paul, 67, retired instructor of Goju-ryu .
Yes when I learned karate as a young kid it was useless. We were taught to block with one arm. We were shown kata without bunkai. We had no sparring. We were taught to move like a rigid robot and the other thing about karate that I see her is we were taught to parry without moving away.
When you were younger, you were shown one part of Karate. Had you learned Karate under a teacher with deeper understanding and love for Karate, you could be practicing to this day, maybe.
Che maestro... Wow
Yes, Some critics say, this old gentlemen, coul not have probably face a young MMA fighter, but the same applies to the critics at his age!
Shame on you! Long live Master Yoshimi. Paul, retired instructor of Karate.
Important aspect to stay in the flow and in better orientations instead of doing misaligned, energy-wasting and probably ineffective robot-blocks.
Well, as usual, this is just an aspect to be aware of, it's not a complete guide to master every type of attack in the world..if a boxer throws a punch, this also applies and helps you in your transitions.
Thanks Alessandro
Agreed and thanks for watching.
Dear onlookers, with my 67 years, only, I can see thedifference. Master, Yoshimi is teaching us ther Unssen aspect of self defencer: I is defending in two stages: stage 1: with the hand , mirroring the attack and just diverting it from our body. Stge two is about involving the defender´s rear hand to step a bit forward, , makew a slightly forward block on the attacker´s joints , which then help us, the defentders to complete the outside or inside block. ... Best regards. and R.I.P. Master Yoshimi, Paul, 67, retired instructor of Karate
Dea Mr. Alessandro Timmi,
May be, I look obsessed with SOke YOshimi´s teaching, but let me know, that his double-handed defence I heve met in other old styles like the Ninja- and Chin-Na.
Intentionally or not, he has called our attention to something important, when Defending then Defending, and at two speeds, to make it safe: first with a palm-as an IMMEDIATE REACTION and then FORHAND as a SECONDARY, SAFE DEFLECTION. And, only then can we go on counteracting, if we want to.
This method at three stages, namely walking along the leg ofor hand of the opponent, depending on the distance can help anyone in solving an everyday self-defence situation anywhere in the world. Paul, 68
Best regards and my eternal gratefulness to the master. Paul, 68
The two hands blocking is present in other Okinawan styles, so Soke Yoshimi was right. May God has him in his Heaven. Paul,68
OSS. Good.
Dear readers and fans of late Soke Inoue Yoshimi,
Awfull sorry for my spelling errors made in my recent comment. To put things right, let me retell the whole idea : The two hands blocking presented byGrand Master Inoue Yoshimi, is, in my understanding, about combining the time factors of defence.
On receiving the attack, the mirroring hand can immediately catch and at least stop or even divert the attack, while the second hand involved subsequently is having time enough to complete the blocking /full-scale diverting of the attacking limb.
This two-stage blocking is involving both immediate response and satisfactory defensive action which may or may not be followed by counterattack. R.P: Master Yoshimi, and still many thanks for your keeping to traditions.when younger I got used to successfully physically stronger opponents applying the same double-stager blocking. Paul, 67, retired instructor of Karate
👍👍👍
At the 4 minute mark, he executed a CLASSIC technique found in the '17 ' two man kata found in Aikido.
17 two men kata? in which classification?
@@Eternaprimavera73 First created in Tomiki ryu but other schools have adapted the structure.
The one in this video is #5 example known as Ushiro ate.
@@bradlong7941 I see. After all is one of the aikido I have explored less. In any case I am not so sure how helpful is that pedagogy.
I like the fact they emphasize strikes more than some other school.
Thanks for explaining.
Osss desde Venezuela, con el Shihan Henry Guillén 7mo dan, keishin-kay Inohue ha
Will someone please tell him that there no blocks in kata?
Karate Indonesia osh...
This is actually the best karate uke explanation I've seen. Many 'styles' today use what I consider overly large and exaggerated 'chambering' or 'preparatory' motions that take about as long as a quick attack when one hasn't even 'blocked' yet. Many of these 'chambers' seem to have no defensive purpose. Yoshimi's version is very quick and each uke begins with what I'll call here a parry. I was wondering if a Shito-ryu student might tell me whether or not that is typical of Shito-ryu uke.
As a hayashi ha Shitōryu Karatê ka, yes. We teach to Parry then block. And it has to be quick like Inoue has demonstrated. My school’s difference is that we “usually” try to grapple or strike from the outside of the attack rather from the inside. Advantageous for smaller framed ppl like me. I hear Inoue trained with or under Hayashi but I don’t know the details since both have passed.
@@Seifukusensei Thanks for the reply.
Rip oss
UKE ESTA ENTREGANDO LA TECNICA QUE LA HAGA CON LA VELOCIDAD Y POTENCIA REAL ESA ES LA FORMA CORRECTA DE ENTRENAR UNA DEFENSA SI UKE NO LO HACE ASI ES TIEMPO PERDIDO Y SE ESTA ENGAÑANDO ASI MISMO COMO QUE ESTA ENTRENANDO BIEN.
wish I could watch this through but could not handle the commercials every 2 min
Kedves Zsolt Simon, úgy látszik, hála Onnek is, nem jutunk be a Parlamentbe. De, talán, nincs is ott ránk szukség. Van ott .... elég. Ont biztos nem fogom választani, mert nem fog ossze a Szovetséggel. Pál, 68
That s why i beat karate shit yesterday😂
Pán Bezák, nechápem, prečo nekandidujete? Boli by ste mojim jediným kandidátom. Takto idem voliť pána Kubiša, ktorý je síce zo Smeru, ale uznávam ho, mojím najväčším sklamaním boli pán Kiska a Pani Čaputová!!!! A pán Korčok je stará reliikvia z i. svetovej vojny v prospech Západu. Pavol, 68, učiteľ na dôchodku
in real fights, most attackers don't leave their arm or leg out there for a few seconds after attacking you ;)
Yeah .. thats why i do boxing.. those blocking techniques are useless.. better cover .. practice head movement.. and beside in a fight an untrained oppent doesnt punch like thatnin the video, no idiot will leave their hands like that.. im a street fight they swing like crazy.. and not time to block those strikes..
@@joannetraigo2505 in Savat, we either evade or intercept an attack, if possible. Blocking is only in an emergency when you don't have any space to move or something like that.
This is not a real fight. It's a demonstration.
It can be effective.Think its not if you like. Double factor. Only one little part of fighting. Parries, Boxing, kicking, locking, throwing, grappling. Lol. Gouging, biting.
There are some useful blocks in karate that are more uncommon and are useful but the popular ones are bad and slow.
Those karete blocks are slow and don't work if the opponent retract his hand.(kumite for example no one use them) palm and wrist blocks are fasters and much more practical.
But there is one BIG problem.
Your oppent isn't silly. And he wil punch you one-two. Whow you will block THIS one-two?
If you use BOTH hands to block first punch, second punch crash your face, nose and teath.
I would like to ask this old dude. Did he have one real figth with experienced oppent in his life? Not with another karateka, but with boxer or kickboxer. I think, that he didn't.
His karate will work only against another karateka, or against somebody drunk.Or against unexperienced oppent.
This is pretty basic its what you are supposed to do. Why are black belts trying to learn beginner blocking ?
使えない気がするんですけどね。
How does he know? He never fought real ...... at least with this style
Well, it is like an army of soldiers who never went to war... Do they need to war to be soldiers? I don't think so.
@@malasangre6700 i think it's like an army of actors, pretending to be fighters but aren't ..... do they need to fight to be fighters ? I think so
@@ramsesdererste4806 well, this is a free country, you can think whatever you like. Personally I don't engage in religious debates 😄
I would bet money this karate master would kill any of you keyboard warriors
@@hotlanta35 yeah ..... i train mma for almost 15 years ..... just because someone answers here doesn't mean he is what you asume
He must never have dealt with a boxer.
An intelligent karateka will never box with a boxer, the fist range superiority of boxing is a fact. But a karateka can kick, and throw the boxer
U know nothing about karate.. Karate actually aim for weak spots of human body during real fight..not for boxing challenge..
All boxers are bad asses..sure🤣👍👍
Grandpa there is not time for these moves in battles.
Very little indeed
I'm still laughing after 2 hours. Even a 10 years olld child will kill him.
