Simultaneous Block and Counter Using Go No Sen Part 1

Go No Sen means to take the initiative away from the attacker as they attack.

It is an advanced concept that we would like to try and get accross to our members earl on in their karate practice, as it is such and important part of karate and self defense.

In this, the first part of three Go No sen exercises, we are going to use the basic blocks and straight punch from heiko dachi.

There are two parts to this section.
Part 1. For the examination we would like to see both sides slowly and fast, where you block first and then counter with a snapping punch.
Part 2. For the examination we would also like to see both sides slowly and fast, where you block and counter with a snapping punch at the same time.

Below we will explain the first part, for an explanation of the second part please watch the video below.

1. Block age uke (upper block) with the left arm.
2. While the age uke arm is out, counter choku zuki (straight punch) with the right arm.
3. Leave the age uke blocking arm out and pull the punching arm back.
4. Bring the age uke arm down and block soto uke (outside block).
2. While the soto uke arm is out, counter choku zuki (straight punch) with the right arm.
3. Leave the soto uke blocking arm out and pull the punching arm back.
4. Bring the soto uke arm down and block gedan barai (downward block).
2. While the gedan barai arm is out, counter choku zuki (straight punch) with the right arm.
3. Leave the gedan barai blocking arm out and pull the punching arm back.
4. Bring the gedan barai arm up and block uchi uke (inside block).
2. While the uchi uke arm is out, counter choku zuki (straight punch) with the right arm.
3. Leave the uchi uke blocking arm out and pull the punching arm back.
5. Repeat on the other side

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been training and teaching in shotokan karate over a period of 37 years. Since signing up for SKO and ENSO, I have found the the supplementary training and advice provided has greatly enhanced my karate knowledge and capability. In particular, the online live sessions, with extensive technical detail and knowledge of Okinawan kata has been invaluable. All serious karateka would benefit from exploring this incomparable source.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have yet to be to the physical dojo yet, however, Sensei Huckle is amazing. Exceptionally knowledgeable, willing to answer questions and share knowledge.

I highly recommend anybody looking to study Shotokan, or to supplement their existing Shotokan practice to check them out!

Oss!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The videos are really great and very easy to follow along to.
Sensai Huckle explains and demonstrates everything slowly to begin with then at normal speed with lots of good tips and pointers of common mistakes as well.
The members section of the website has lots of videos as well as the Kyu courses.
Would highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been doing karate for 1/3 of my life, training in a dojo for 3 - 4 years and outside of a dojo for 5+ years at home, I’ve tried joining other dojos and they couldn’t accommodate my work schedule, I ended up finding SKO and the resources have been great! Not only have I been able to further refine my techniques but I have been able to work my way through the grading system and have just achieved my brown belt, onwards and upwards!

About the author

I have been practicing and teaching karate for over 50 years and believe first and foremost, karateka should enjoy their karate. There is nothing better than seeing a person develop into a great martial artist through their karate practice, while at the same time really enjoying karate.
