I have trained in karate for 10 years. Every class I have been in or have seen had plenty of rising blocks followed by a punch. Some call it shield sword. Your taught it in your first class and you did it in your last. If youíre walking in a store and someone tosses a ball out of nowhere are you going to catch it or let it hit you in the face? My father is 84 and if I toss a ball to him when heís not paying attention today, he will catch it or at least knock it away. Thats how it works.So I believe the story.
