'''Keito-uke''' (literally: “chicken-head block”), the '''thumbknuckle block''', can be thought of as a variant of the [[Ridgehand block|ridgehand block]], or of [[Chūdan-uke|chūdan-uke]]. Thumbknuckle blocks use a modified fist, where the thumb presses down on the side of the index finger, as demonstrated in the photo to the right. Thumbknuckle blocks hook the opponent’s wrist with the back of your thumb, so you can off-balance opponents with the [[Reciprocal action|reciprocal action]] of your counterattack. While this hooking motion is not as solid and secure as the [[Grasping block|grasping block]]’s [[Ki#Unbreakable Circle|Unbreakable Circle]], thumbknuckle blocks are faster to apply.

Thumbknuckle blocks are typically reserved for [[Advanced|advanced]] students, because they build upon intermediate level skills.
