Karate: Combinations (Rendeoku Vasa) Part 2

Soto Uke -
Hidji Ate

As with many combinations, the first technique brings you to the position from which you can start the second technique. In this case, the first technique is a soto uke (assuming your opponent is attacking on the chudan level). From the final position of the block, attack with your elbow (hidji ate), and at the same time, change your position to kiba dachi.

Mae Hidji Ate -Uraken Shomen Uchi -Gedan Barai -Giaku Tsuki

After the attack with the elbow, your hand is at the natural position for an uraken shomen uchi. After the uraken shomen uchi is completed, the hand is ready for a gedan barai if your opponent is punching you in the nose. Same as with learning how to write, you practice writing ''cat'' and ''dog'', and then you can write anything, depending on what you need.
