Uke (block)

Uke (Blocks) are defensive movements done with the arms and/or legs to prevent your opponent form striking you. Hensen Ryu blocks are intended to be done with a lot of power, so the opponent is unable to continue attacking with that limb. In essence a block is a strike against an opponents strike.
