Tsuki-uke, the punching block, is hardest of all karate blocks -- you just attack the opponent’s limb faster than they can attack you. Eventually, the opponent will either be incapacitated, or realize that attempting to hurt you is counterproductive, as it just hurts them worse.

Like all blocks, punching block is the most effective when coupled with an [[Evasions|evasion]], usually a [[7-3]]. Simultaneously use your opposite-side hand to throw a [[Hook punch|hook punch]] into any [[Kyūsho|kyūsho]] on the opponent’s limb.

Since the opponent is committed to attacking, they are unlikely to block this technique -- rarely does one think to block a block! The unexpected pain will act as an [[Atemi|atemi]], and this combined with the shock of the impact can knock an opponent off-balance, for an easy follow-up.

Punching block requires the student to be extremely good at evasion and hook punches, so it is reserved for [[Advanced students|advanced students]].

 Like all blocks, punching block is the most effective when its coupled with an [[Evasions|evasion]], usually a inside [[7-3]]. As you evade, simultaneously throw an opposite-side [[Hook punch|hook punch]] to the opponent’s arm. Ideally, this hits the groove between their biceps and the triceps, which will temporarily incapacitate the opponent's arm by striking one of the many major nerves which run through that channel.

 Punching blocks are reserved for [[Advanced students|advanced students]], since they require being skilled and comfortable with both [[Evasions|evasions]] and [[Hook punch|hook punches]].
