Ajay Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 In Shotokan, the way Gedan Juji uke is taught is with closed fists and generally consists of a Gedan Ude Barai lower sweeping block coupled with a Tate zuki - horizontal fist. I like to teach this method as a block against a Maegeri front kick with the Tatezuki striking the shin bone (hence the horizontal fist) It can also be used to parry a mid level punch with the Tatezuki striking a pressure point just inside the elbow joint dirctly below the bicep. This can be very painful! Generally, a Jodan Juji uke is done with open hands and if coupled with a Tsukami Uke - grasping block, can be turnd into a very effective limb control/strike combination where I would probably use a kick technique and you could always employ Kyusho Jutsu striking to make it even moe effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
