When doing basics (Shorin Ryu Karate) which arm do you start with for...

[wo747]

...blocks , left or right?
this would be to start from yoi (start) position

 

[LIONDANCER]

When doing basics without stepping we start with the right arm. But really your Sensei should specify this when doing drills.

 

[ShihanJ]

that depends it can be either one

usually you step with the left first, but thats up the sensei

 

[Gareth]

Usually left unless Sensei states otherwise.

 

[SenseiScandal]

Your Sensei will call out what side usually.
