Morote Gedan Barai is a dual-arm technique in Shotokan Karate designed to defend against low attacks. It involves both arms sweeping downward simultaneously from shoulder height to block strikes aimed at the lower body. The elbows are slightly bent, and the forearms, along with the wrists, serve as the primary blocking surfaces. This technique enhances balance and prepares practitioners for immediate counterattacks, emphasizing the importance of timing and coordination in effective defense.
