The Myth of Blocking: Theatre, Kata & Reality
from Great Karate Myths: Debunking the Legends · host Ko-do Ryu Classical Karate Association
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.Jim Carrey: https://youtu.be/h_vvI26NnwEPaul Garner: https://youtu.be/skUgegwkX9IMonty Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piWCBOsJr-w
