Traditional blocking doesn't work in a real situation (which is why Boxers and Muay Thai Boxers who compete against each other don't use traditional blocks).
I should have been more specific - 'Traditional Karate style blocks don't work in a real confrontation'. I thought that was understood though since the video is about Karate blocking techniques. You want to argue with that? I've had lots of experience with scrapping in the street and it's hard to throw up a nicely directed block when they're running at you swinging at you from all angles.
@DriftProXL No, it says "Tsuyama Karate Blocking Techniques". I know it's very easy to mistake the words "Tsuyama" and "Traditional", but there is a distinction if you read closely, I promise. And your first post simply says "traditional blocking". "Traditional blocking" isn't associated solely with Karate. Think maybe you should do some research on martial arts, because judging from your response, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
@righteousrat I've practiced various martial arts for over 20 years as I like to take what's useful from all styles. I have my black belt in traditional Jujitsu (which uses these types of blocks), and I've been training Combat Jujitsu for a couple of years now (which uses more of a Boxing / Muay Thai way of defending). I know that tradtional blocking isn't associated just with Karate, I'm simply saying that this style of blocking isn't very effective in a live situation.
@DriftProXL well, you don't use the full windup etc. Blocks for kumite are relatively small movements and come out of your ready position. I use blocks in live sparring effectively. Also, it would be very odd for traditional jujutsu to use these blocks, as they weren't introduced in Japan until the late 19th century. In most traditional jujutsu styles, they use parry techniques that aren't really impact-like.
@DriftProXL the blocks are taught in a specific way but in a real fight your body should use it naturally,a karate block has the mechanics of any other blocking technique. someone swinging from all angles is easily stopped with no blocking necessary. you think too much when your fighting then.
