 '''Haitō uke''', the '''ridgehand block''' is the defensive applications of the [[Ridgehand strike|ridgehand strike]]. The ridgehand block superficially resembles the famous "[[Shutō block|karate chop]]," but it uses the other side of the hand.
 To perform a ridgehand block, pull your elbow in, towards your center, to send your hand outward. Essentially, it is a [[Cross-body block|cross-body block]], which impacts with [[Ridgehand strike#haitō|haitō]] instead of the meaty part of the forearm. Unlike a cross-body block, the blocking hand is at head or shoulder level, with its elbow a fist-width away from your chest, like a palm-up variant of an [[Shutō block#outside shutō block|outside shutō block]].
 After performing a ridgehand block, you can easily seize your opponent's wrist by turning your hand over into a [[Grasping block|grasping block]], or by hooking the opponent’s hand with a [[Thumbknuckle block|thumbknuckle block]].
 When performed correctly, ridgehand blocks cut through the air with a gratifying “woosh” noise, as though you were swinging a large stick.
