Uchi ude uke, or inside forearm block is one of the first shotokan karate blocks that e new karateka will learn in the karate dojo. It's a good idea to practice this block in shizentai (natural stance), with feet approximately shoulder width apart and toes facing forward, before trying to practice stepping forward and backwards in Zenkutsu dachi (front stance).
Remember, the blocking part of the arm, is the outside of the forearm, not the edge of the arm!
