ESA-Shotokan Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Actually , here is something that has bugged me for a while. I did Wado-Ryu for a short period and one thing I could not grasp was the soto-uke block. Now this was performed from the inside, outwards like shotokan's uchi-uke? Whereas in shotokan, soto-uke is performed from the outside in!!? What have I missed here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wado_lee Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 i may be wrong but my learnings on that refer to one bieng a part of arm that blocks the other being the movement of the arm in or out neither in fact are wrong theres no one style just your style--------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel_Azrel Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I belvie they are both the same move just prefromed in reverse with no real difference between them let not the fear of death stay your hand nor defeat your courage.The warrior who will provail is the one who confronts death its self Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypher Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 From what I understand and Practice Uchi-Uke inside our wrist slightly bent and elbow one fist away from body, soto-uke,outside in and accross the whole body to the other side, while uchi-uke block one uses the wrist to hook the punch the soto-uke uses the meaty fleshy part of the forarm, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equaninimus Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 In Shotokan terminology, soto and uchi refer to the direction of the technique. in just about every other karate style, they seem to refer to the surface used for the technique. Confused yet? There have always been Starkadders at Cold Comfort Farm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Warlock Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Japanese <> English uchi = inside soto = outside just my two cents: i'm sure most of the confusion associated with Japanese systems could be alleviated by calling the techniques by their English equivalents. After all, the names of the techniques are actually the Japanese descriptions of the actions. Really, it's kinda silly. I mean, when freestyle wrestling is taught in Japan, the techniques are translated (i.e., they don't call it a "seenghel-legh-taykdowen.")

Dragon Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 from what I've learnt soto-uki comes from the back of the head in http://www.austers.co.ukOne must be like all changes of state.Solid - Tough and strong!Liquid - Relaxed and make your techniques flow!Gas - Fast!

equaninimus Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Depends on the style. In Seibukan soto is used to describe the outside-in block. In other styles its the inside out block.
