Happy birthday to you!

When Shinzato Sensei was talking about how there is no 1st attack in Karate, and that the block is the attack, I kept thinking about the movie, Kuro Obi! "TAIKAN! That's enough! Giryu, continue the fight!" ... Taikan: "Giryu, if you follow our master's teaching and lose the fight, then I'll finish it." Giryu wins the fight with only blocking.

Thank you for bringing awareness of Shinzato Sensei to more people. I have been fortunate to work out with him many times at the Nagamine Dojo and at his Dojo. He is a great teacher, but more importantly a kind and gentle person. I hope that you enjoyed your time with him and best of luck in your continued studies.

I am very happy to see other Students of Nagamine Shoshin explain karate so well Masao Shinzato Sensei Thank you Karate ne sente nashi has three levels of response Sen Sen no sen Go no sen Ukeru is to receive… not block.. Yes a block is a strike on beginner level But the inner meaning is to enter inside the attack to use rear hand as cover

I started my journey in Matsubayashi-ryu more than three decades ago, and my fondness for karate has only grown over the years. I greatly appreciate this interview and look forward to watching you train with Shinzato Sensei! Bruises make the best training trophies :)

Thank you ! this is how i was taught right from the start , discipline , try to deescalate, if attacked, block, and only retaliate to disable their ability to attack again

Like how you reach out to other styles! Especially an old school Sensei like this!

these interviews with old masters might be the best stuff Covid -age produced.

Nice video thanks. Watching through them all now while at work, the "No first strike philosophy" and karate practice bringing mental peace really sums up my initial impressions about karate and I started. Thank you. Onto the next episode

Hearing the master speak gave me so much wisdom I felt all his words rigth in my "Kokoro" thank you for bring this interview on my life in this moment. Respect from Patagonia, Chile.

This is awesome! I grew up doing Matsubayashi-Ryu and am trying to get back into the art as an adult. It's fantastic to learn more, and see how a wonderful master like him teaches. These will be great reference for my own practice. Thank you. + some of the stuff is super cool, too. Most people think Karate is just strikes, kicks, and blocks. But elbow, knee, and palm strikes are just as present, and are part of the basic movements in Shoshin Nagamine's teachings. Karate is far more comprehensive than most would give it credit to be.

This interview is very powerful. Thank you, Sensei!

Great! Cant wait to see the next episode!!

Awesome! So excited to see these... CONCEPTS. Each “personality” of the different styles in these upcoming episodes! The idea of these blocks being attacks is great, “never attack first”. Great stuff. Ninjutsu uses almost same concept by changing the stance for each thought, intention, or anticipation of the next movement. Not “attacking” but adapting against the incoming attack. Cant wait. Great work! 🤘🏽

Itosu Passai, the one that correlates to Shotokan Bassai Dai is different from Matsubayashi's Pasaai. The Passai in Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu is also known as Tomari Passai. If you'd like to see a version of the Okinawan precursor to Shotokan's Bassai Dai, then look to the Chibana lineages (eg: Kobayashi Shorin Ryu- Shorinkan) Their Passai Sho is the Itosu Passai and the enbusen maps directly with the Shotokan Bassai Dai. Their Koryu Passai has an enbusen that corresponds to Shotokan's Bassai Sho. Tomari Passai is a different kata altogether and doesn't have a corresponding kata in Shotokan. Oh, by the way, Tomari bassai is a beautiful kata.

What a nice gentleman! I totally agree with him re. continuing training for a lifetime: I've been training for 50 years also, and I still love it and look forward to every training. I have to, regrettably, disagree with him on his wonderful vision of world peace that could come from the universal practice of karate: at least here in the States, there are far too many karate players (or those who want to be) who do not follow or even understand the principles of karate-do as he explained, and have an unhealthy ego attachment to, and reason for, training; and they pursue training with bad and hostile and adversarial attitudes, and/or only care about what rank they are and the prestige they think it conveys them (regardless of their actual skill or understanding of karate, which often sadly follows an inverse relation to their rank).

There are a number of Shorin Ryu styles, generally from Shuri Te. Chosin Chibana, student of Anko Itosu, first named his style Shorin Ryu, using kanji that can also be pronounced Kobayashi Ryu (small forest style). Chibana was clear that his style's name is correctly pronounced Shorin Ryu. The name was probably referencing the history of Shaolin in China. Shoshin Nagamine named his style Shorin Ryu, using kanji that can also be pronounced Matsubayashi Ryu (pine forest style). Nagamine said the style name should generally be pronounced Shorin Ryu, unless it needed to be differentiated from other Shorin Ryu styles, in which case, it can be called Matsubayashi Ryu. There is also other kanji used for other Shorin Ryu schools that can be pronounced Shobayashi Ryu (young forest style).
