The Myth of Blocking: Theatre, Kata & Reality
Update: 2025-06-16
Description
Are traditional karate blocks real or ritual? In this deep-dive discussion, we question the origins and effectiveness of "blocking" in kata. Is it martial wisdom or stage illusion? With references from Goju-ryu to UFC, and even Jim Carrey, we explore how distance, timing, and intent reshape everything you think you know about defense. A must-listen for martial artists and myth-busters alike.
