I love the camaraderie between Yusuke and Dan right here. It’s so good to see East and West discussing their points of view on martial arts in such a respectful and civil manner despite the distance and the health conditions of the world. Wholeheartedly love this

I highly recommend Harry Cook's "Shotokan: A Precise History". As a student of Kanazawa sensei and with his PhD in Chinese language, he had unprecedented access to resources that make his book THE definitive history. (Pg. 83-84 explains the Tang Soo Do link.)

If you're an average martial artist or karateka in the states, you'll hear what I like to call "dojo talk". Dojo talk tends to be this collective of unverified wisdom or insights. Over the years, I've come across enough people in classes who would say in Japan, they do this, they do that, but these same people haven't spent one minute there and heard it on good authority, third hand, of course. It's nice to hear an actual definitive answer on what goes on or is perhaps a typical attitude or outlook on karate in specific or martial arts in general where your art came from or where it was popularized. To hear Sensei Nagano state that karateka don't usually train outside of their chosen art is rather eyeopening because well, further away, much further away, the average anonymous armchair internet karateka or martial artist instantly recommends training in two or more arts to anyone who will listen, just because, well, that's the thing to do and the ever-looming reality of the post-UFC, MMA world we now inhabit seemingly is the guiding force to that advice. Crosstraining to your benefit or detriment is now the typical collective stateside attitude. Want to get good at karate? Take karate plus Muay Thai, plus boxing, plus kickboxing. Rarely is the answer: do more karate, or even train at different schools of thought on karate (i.e. Shotokan and Kyokushin).

You’re right but not many people where I’m from can cross train , too expensive. So they find one style they like and stick with it

That's a really nice interview, thank you for that! I'm Thinking about my own journey, I'm a Shotokan Karate Black belt and when I started exploring different arts I wanted to complete what I felt that I didn't learn enough in my own style. So I practiced BJJ nogi, later I moved to MMA. Today, after it all, I believe Judo would perfectly complete Karate.

Great video, I have a Black Belt in both Shotokan and Kenpo. I started in Japanese styles life changes moved me around. I got introduced to Kenpo through Panther Productions videos By Larry Tatum in 1994. I believe that both styles compliment each other very well.

Good interview, still looking forward to Yusuke-Sensei’s upcoming interviews. Also been enjoying your history of Shotokan videos & others lately.

The dichotomy of east and west ideology with karate is interesting.... I love hearing these different perspectives and the branches of thought and technique despite being of the same parent tree

Such an interesting interview, as a practitioner of kajukenbo and defense lab, I have to say that studying different martial arts will make you understand more on the history and applications on how most martial arts are intertwined…..Excellent interview 👍👍

Was wondering whats difference from Kajukenbo and kenpo?? Which might be more effective and more complete in techniques, ground grappling, and tradition, self defense??

Awesome, really enjoyed this series.

Enjoyed the interview, very interesting.

Great interview

Another awesome interview Dan Sensei! It will be interesting to see if he takes up other martial arts that are not so close to his current art, ie. Judo, BJJ, Kosen Judo, Muai Thai, Silat. It’s smart to pick up small differences from arts that are similar, especially to begin one’s exploration of other arts. I look forward to seeing where we ALL explore and expand to within Martial Arts. It’s getting better all the time! 🙏

wooooow....thank you, Sensei Daniel🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. You were right when you wrote to me: "Check out our channels", great content and this wonderful interview. Stay healthy, greetings from a (bad) practitioner of Matsubayashi-ryu in Germany.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Glad to see that both you and Sensei Yusuke Nagano, approach martial arts, from an academic, historical, anthropological and sociological perspective, while maintaining an open and respectful mentality, about other martial arts styles different to your own. It is also admirable to see Sensei Dan, that you both also try to explore other systems of self defense and see what things are useful, that you both can take and add to your own martial arts systems. It would be nice if like you did with Sensei Ichi and his Tang Soo Do style, where you compared the techniques with your American Kenpo Karate, if you and Sensei Yusuke Nagano, could both do something similar and compare both of your respective styles, of Shotokan Karate and American Kenpo Karate. I sincerely hope that shall both continue to collaborate together, from time to time in the future, Osu!🇲🇽🇦🇺🥋🙏

Yusuke talk about foot work for Tang Soo do. The biggest different is the hip movement. The hip movement has the same movement as other Korean martial art. It is good for him to at least look at other art. Many people are not up to that.

I like how you guys discussed the difference between sport type martial arts and murder martial arts. The vibe is indeed different.

Ive been enjoying this content!

This is a pretty cool series and that’s coming from a staunch BJJ practitioner who believes BJJ is better than karate haha. I guess karate is pretty cool thanks to Yuske Nagano, Sensei Seth and the Karate nerd Jesse Enkamp.

I do enjoy these cross-promotional videos that share and discuss with other martial arts videos. It is amazing how similar and different and varied the communities of martial are. It is amazing to think for example, there are German students practicing Sanchin kata in Stuttgart like the students in Okinawa and the US for that matter.

Kyokushin, Enshin and Ashihara. Can't miss with any of those. Knockdown karate is the way. Join us! Great video btw!

Great video!

I really enjoy the conversation in this video. Perhaps a conversation between doing Karate and Aikido will be interesting as the two arts have different techniques but I think they are 'complementing' to each other. I'm a shodan in Iwama ryu aikido and am also doing Okinawan style karate and I found that they are both useful and also complementing each other, for example you can do the block, punch or kick and also follow that with joint lock or pinning or throwing.. It is always useful to learn something different... :)

What I love is that there is so much similarity in the names. Kenpo = Fist Law, Karate = Empty hand but USED to mean "Tang Hand", Tang Soo Do "way of the tang hand", Tae Kwon Do "Fist, foot, way"....I love no matter the names...the same idea is there. They are translations of basically the same thing.

@@ArtofOneDojo The 法 in Kenpo can be translated as technique or method. Translating 法 as law depends on the context, as in 法律, which refers to legal law.

This young man Yusuke Nagano can only speak on Sports aspect of Shotokan competition it is apparent that he is limited in his knowledge of Shotokan Karate do and he’s the wrong person to ask these questions to. But I must say you’re so gracious as always. That’s why I like watching the content that you present on KZread, you do great research to present to the best of ability good and motivated information.

He has experience in both sport Shotokan and traditional Shotokan. Him being part of and teaching at the Mita Dojo definitely gives him some credibility to speak on the subject to some degree.
