Soto Uke Top Tips
When you block, think forward, not around!
The blocking arm should travel in more of a straight line, from the high preparation point, to completion and not a sweeping arc.
Remember, the blocking part of the arm, is the inside of the forearm, not the edge of the arm!
In the finished blocking position, make sure you can tighten all of your arm muscles properly, if you cannot, your blocking arm will be to high, to far forward, or to far across the center of the body.
