The principal source of negotiating mutual confrontation used in the art of karate, Uke-Waza is an indispensable component of effective fighting, and reflects a forgotten aspect from this art’s early origins.  Uke-waza is something that every student of karate, irrespective of style or politics, MUST gain proficiency in. All domestic forms of self-protection can be bridged together by the same habitual acts of physical violence they seek to address and Uke-waza is our first and foremost line of defense. Almost all street encounters are first  initiated by an attacker viscously punching and or kicking their victims into submission. 

Handed down by ancestral pioneers, researched and revived by Patrick McCarthy, Uke-waza reveal the classical defensive application as preserved in traditional kata. This is the DVD which finally brings meaning to otherwise overly ritualized and ambiguous blocking techniques. And, here's your chance to it learn directly from a 5th-generation master of Okinawan Karate.
