I'm wondering. I've attended several schools but when I watch sparring or any form of free fighting, I rarely if ever see any karate fighter use this block or use them effectively. Even among practitioners who are by all means very good and have fought at the highest level of competition. Why is this?
I don't know if the ITF has recently changed their technique for this block, so I can't say for sure he's presenting it differently to his organisation's current standards, but it certainly used to be different and in my opinion much better. The blocking arm brought back on the outside of the non-blocking arm, so they form an X shape in line with the rear pectoral. This avoids the weak cramped motion shown, promoting circular movement. No hip movement was shown: ok for white/yellow belts.
