So I came across an article that talked about the process of creating fluid quick blocks. I was always concerned that my gedan barai was more like swinging a crow bar. All muscle and slow. I worked through the write up in the article and was amazed by the difference in my gedan barai. I will be working on incorporating this technique into my other blocks over the next several months.
