Other martial artists I talk to are often surprised when I tell them that many kata techniques involve trapping. My personal favorite is the "chamber" of the knife hand trapping the opponent's lead hand as you step in with the knife hand strike. Also, Lee Morrison and his main student (I forget his name) have great self defense videos. Many of their techniques and strategies closely resemble Okinawan karate as well, though a more raw version of it.

Thank you Anna. Hope you’re doing well.

Great video! This is something that we must dig deeper in. I really do think this is the real meaning of hikite.

Great video, sensei you don´t know how many times the idea of trapping applied to karate has been running in my head. Ossu and thank you greetings from Venezuela

Thx Victor!

It took time for me to know the simple hikite basic. I discarded such due to think that karate doesn't work. But after going through Katas I found out they are close range combat fighting.

Awesome

Bruce Lee claimed form applications won't work in a real fight and his followers keep repeating that common claim to this day. Yet I have video examples of Kata applications in MMA matches like the double punch and they are literally shown by Karate-based fighters like coach Vinicio Antony's students.

Great comment brother. Thanks for watching the video. You are right. People make claims based on their own experience. All of these things are tools. If you put in enough time in the game, you’ll see everything can work under the right context.

Respectfully, it seems like more of a "jut sao" than a lap, the application is still awesome though.

Ya you are right…. Jut / larp …. I sometimes interchange the two, Wing chun guy would tell you something different, I see them bound by the same principles….. thanks for watching and for your comment! I hope you’re doing well.

So the issue is stopping at universal biomechanical principles. Karate is descended from white crane just as wibg chun is but each art got obly a part of the overall principles and body mechanics. So yes karate has trapping that comes from crane but they don't have short power. Wing chun does so thats an incredible value to master, so to not only trap but to generate incredible force at very close distances is what really makes trapping come alive. Then, you add circles and spirals that adds another layer on top of that.

Thanks for your message. From my experience Naihanchi Kata is suitable for closer range fighting….knees, elbows, short punches etc…. But all these moves are just tools really….range dictates application….I can use the same knees/elbows/punches from naihanchi at a longer range as well. Cross training in other arts and systems have taught me about power generation (short and long power)…..all martial arts have “short power”…as they were developed for self defense. And Naihanchi, is just one example, I think ANY kata can be applied at a short range for short power in a self defense scenario. It comes down to simply training it that way…..take the moves, cross train with it, find similarities, understand the differences based on context, and have fun in the process😀

@@KarateUnity Yeah man sure thing. I get excited about this stuff, like im going through Adam Chan's program right now and its very precise and the power generation is very specific and each one of his arts has a different way of generating power. Then xingyi has like 5 more, you end up with the human body being able to generate 8 ways of generating power, I think? And with Naianchi, its interesting because i think thats the only native oakinawan kata. The rest you can trace back to crane or monk fist. And if you really like Naihanchi i highly recommend training with those oyata guys. You see them at Troy's conference all the time, very unique body mechanics and ways of training naihanchi.
