In the first article we described the arm positions for shuto uke. In this article we are going to explain stepping forward shuto uke (knife hand block) in kokutsu dachi (back stance).

Although this is classed as a basic karate technique, most people find this difficult and uncomfortable. So we are going to break this step down, into small sections.

Get into the habit of breaking new karate moves down, they then become much easier to understand the small detail.

Starting with the left leg in front.

1. Start the step by driving the front (left) knee forward. Imagine someone has a hold of your left wrist and they sharply pull you forward, so really stretch the left arm forward, hand open, fingers and wrist straight.

2. At the same time as you perform number 1. Lift the right arm straight up from the stomach to the left shoulder. Keep the forearm close to the body as you lift the arm and keep the elbow in the center of the chest. When the right hand reaches the left shoulder (palm facing the neck), the hand is open, fingers and wrist straight.

3. The front knee and two arm movements above, should be done at exactly the same time. As the above moves are executed, immediately start to step with the right leg, pushing the right side of the body forward.

4. Keep the same height throughout the step, knees come close together at the half way point, body square and both feet facing forward.

5. As you start the second half of the step, from the half way point, keep your body weight over your back (left) leg.

6. Still keep both feet facing forward as you move through the here quarter stage of the step. At this point, start to block with the right arm and pull the left hikite arm back.

7. As the hikite arm pulls back, keep the palm facing down and as the blocking arm goes out, keep the palm facing towards you and the elbow down. The back of the blocking forearm, slides down the inside of the hikite arm.

8. As you land in the full kokutsu dachi (back stance), sharply pivot on the left (back) foot, turning your left foot and knee out to the side.

9. As you complete the arm movements, rotate both forearms sharply, so the palm of the hikite (left) arm, faces up and the palm of the blocking arm, faces to the inside and down slightly.

10. Both numbers 8 and 9, should be performed at exactly the same time.

11. Breath in on the preparation and out on the execution of the block.

Most karateka start practicing this particular karate technique, a few moths into their karate training. Of all the basic karate moves, this is one of the hardest to master. Whether you are attending a karate dojo, or learning karate at home, I recommend you break the techniques down and repeat again and again. Start slowly and gradually build up to maximum speed.

Left Shoulder Pain - Get Rid of This Pain Today

When it comes to left shoulder pain, consider consulting a doctor first. If one can find a cardiologist, it is much better. Pain in the left shoulder may be just a referred pain from an ongoing heart attack. So it is very important to first have routine heart check-up and laboratory tests done to be cleared from life-threatening heart problems. And then, after being cleared, proceed to this list of managements to get rid of the pain.

Remember RICE. Not the grain that you eat, but the acronym R.I.C.E., which stands for Rest, Ice, Compress, and Exercise. RICE can provide ease from left shoulder pain. Make sure to "rest" your body. Any body part which is constantly used will eventually tire-out. "Ice" massage can also be helpful by providing an anti-inflammatory effect. Do this by applying ice over the area intermittently for 20-30 minutes at least three times a day. Warm "compress" can also alleviate the pain by making the blood vessels and muscle fibers relax, avoiding the painful tight feeling. Exercises, specifically passive range-of-motion exercises, can also contribute a lot in lessening the pain.

Moreover, slings also help in reducing left shoulder pain. These aids will provide stability to the left shoulder area allowing it to rest and rejuvenate for a certain period. Consider your usual body positions too. While sleeping, maintain a neutral position with body lying supine and arms on the side. Don't sleep on the left side as it will compress the vessels and nerves in the region making it sore. It will also be helpful to try elevating the left arm once in a while to make the blood return to the heart and stop pooling in the left arm.

Furthermore, there are alternative therapies that may also reduce pain in the left shoulder. Include in the list some yoga poses isolated to the left shoulder region. Also, both acupuncture and acupressure may also alleviate through focused treatment on the affected region.

If the pain still persists, consider calling in the professionals. Hire a therapist or a chiropractor that can provide left shoulder exercises. There are also therapists nowadays who carry with them some portable ultrasound devices that help in relieving left shoulder pain.

One can also consult a physician who can provide medications to help ease the pain. Medications include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids in oral forms and injections, muscle relaxants, among others. There are also new studies that found out that Botox injections, which may provide muscle-relaxing effects, provide great degree of pain relief.

However, if left shoulder pain becomes too chronic, unbearable and debilitating, try talking to a surgeon or an orthopedic specialist. They may diagnose the primary cause of the pain which may either be a disease or a pathologic process. In this case, surgery to treat the underlying condition may be needed to get rid of the pain.

Health is no joke. And pain is no laughing matter. Consider taking time to manage the pain and discover what treatment is best for it. Remember it's better to start today, than regret tomorrow.

Why is my front left tire shaking and wearing on the outside of the tire?

I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4wd all time. Both of my front tires seem to be wearing a lot quicker than my rear, but my left from seems to cause a shaking, especially on the highway around 70 MPH. The tire is also just about bare on the outer most part of the tire.

You may have a bad tie rod which can cause a shake. I would have an alignment check done to see if anything is out of line in the front of the vehicle. You may have more than one thing wrong in the front of the vehicle. A bad bearing could cause a shake, but most likely have a noise with it. If the ball joints are bad that could be why the tires are wearing on the edges also. The problem could be any of this, a good shop would be able to pin point which parts need to be replaced. Most likely that not all parts are bad. So be careful when they tell you that you need all the front parts replaced. If they say that, have another shop check to see if the pasts are really bad.
