Chudan Uke
Slow motion Chudan Uke (Middle block) from Goju Ryu karate, demonstrated by Sensei John. This middle block is found in many Katas, self-defense techniques and is one of the basic warm-up moves found in many of today’s dojos. This block is designed to stop a middle punch (horizontal, vertical or inverted), can also be applied against some kicks such as a front kick or mae geri, side kick or Joko geri, roundhouse kick or mawashi Geri and others. Let’s go over this list of recommendations for proper execution of this block:
- Keep your back straight
- Keep a good stance because you need a strong foundation
- Your block goes from the inside to the outside
- Keep your fist closed and strong
