Another way to practice this block is to swing the nunchucks over the side of your shoulder. Or to use the No staff to make small circles with the forearm.

I like to do that way and I will practice training karate for protect myself ❤

Hello from algeria and OSS

@davidyoung745

Thank you for the detailed explanation! For years I’ve been doing it with just the #2 movement and hip rotation. Adding the #1 pulling action of the elbow makes a noticeable difference. 勉強になりました!

@miguerys9503

What timing! I just finished my first chi ishi

@guyblew1733

Very good lesson. Q; why are you bring the block from across the body?

@carlosteguz

Why is it in Goyu Ryu that block called Tsuto Uke? Uchi Uke would be Tsuto for you.

@JAnth51

That's not really the block! The crossing hand is the block. What you're teaching is a cover/control move after the block. You must've seen this when you trained in Okinawa. To block as you're demonstrating, the blocking hand has to travel across your centerline and then back out to the outside to intercept the attack. The crossing hand can intercept the attack in a single movement across the centerline (twice as fast!) and then hand off to the blocking hand for cover/control. If the attacker is competent at all, you're not going to beat his punch with the block you're describing.

This is for fighting with a weapon.
