this is a much more practical form of karate, I was thinking of enrolling in Kudo Karate, but this got my attention I dont mind busting myself back to whitebelt...any chance you guys have a branch in Manila Philippines?
Does Soto-uke not mean outside-block. The block comes from the outside hence outside-block. Alternativly, depending on how you look at it, it can be called uchi-uke or inside-block since the arm travels inward and its final position is inward!
Soto uke is a block coming from the outside going inside. An Uchi uke is coming from the inside going outside. So no, I do not agree. There is only one way to look at it. :)
Soto means just means "out", but can be interpreted as outside. Kockdown styles like seidokaikan and kyokushin use Soto =coming FROM the outside (going in)
The guys writing the description made a error.
However, some styles use Soto = coming FROM the inside, going out (for example wado ryu do use it that way). The same name confusion (in reverse) goes for uchi (going out or coming from the outside.
If you see the video he analyzes the basics of soto uke and then analyzes how soto uke is done in real combat.Look at the video again.Basics are Basics each style has its own philosophy no one can change that,thats why styles are different from eachother so whatever point of view all knockdown practitioners block the same way in every fight,there is no difference.
The point of this approach is in real knockdown fighting their is no close fist blocking,its all opened hand.Have a look at knockdown competitions all blocks are openhanded,I have never seen close fist blocking,and as 15 year knockdown competitor I havent used it or seen it.
In Seidokaikan basic blocking we open the fist then we close.Thats the difference between kyokushin and other knockdown styles.Seidokaikan has its own way.

ok. So why does his show seiken in this block ?
He can leave his hand opened all the time if it is not a seiken soto uke...

and what's the point of this approach ?
I mean - you can easily get your fingers broken by someones kick when you keep opening your seiken like that...

Why do you keep opening your fist before the block ?
It's SEIKEN soto uke, which means that you have to keep seiken all the time. Not semi seiken - semi shuto, or whatever...
