This has to be one of , if not THE most eye opening channel I've found here on KZread about martial arts, and I don't even practice the same art as you guys. I learned so many concepts, I learned how and why to find bunkais in kata and in general how to understand and practice martial arts the traditional way. thank you so much.

sweeet! glad you're learning from our videos, if you have any questions or suggestions shoot them our way!

There is so much Bassai Dai in these techniques, amazing.

Great stuff! The movements from the first half of the video are taught as basic locks in Budo Taijutsu. Cool to see how so many principles are universal.

Great point! It's all body mechanics and physics so definitely it's all the same!

Guys, your videos are Awesome, you just gave me a new vision of Karate. I practice Jiu Jitsu, but your Karate videos are helping me a LOT!!!

Great vid, please keep showing what traditional karate-do has to offfer. To many people ignore karate, because they only see the superficial aspect of karate, but once you get to training and seeing what it is really about, the combat aspect opens up and you never see it the same way again. Thank you, every time I see your video another bulb turns on.

BTW - I am thrilled that you are bringing back old ways. I say "old style values-modern day applications". I trained in Shudokan Karate (Nidan) and Shorin Ryu (Shorinkan) (Shodan) since 1976. Thanks for your videos.

Thanks for posting. I don't get a chance to see them all but just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your videos. Having Soshin is really a good thing to help us all learn.

Many thanks for the reply. I'm only orange belt at the moment in Shotokan and haven't really covered this topic but this is good stuff to learn! Keep up the good work and keep posting. Looking forward to your next one!

Good luck on your journey and it's so cool you're watching videos so early in your martial path, keeping this open mind will really help you grow and develop into a true martial artist

Very informative, all those moves in sanbons and katas do make sense when broken down.

Awesome, it's great to hear when someone interprets kata with a better understanding!

I love learning Karate, to me it seems like the original martial art because all forms of martial arts seem to descend from karate.

very interesting! thank you for uploading!

Awesome video! I'm making the transition from hapkido to traditional karate, and it's great to see these points in common.

This is excellent teaching, thanks for the hints and cues guys.

Hi! You guys just amazing. Thanks for sharing! Anyway you're shotokan practitioner right? I'm wondering if the joint lock, especially the detail on muscles & joints movement are extensively studied in shotokan. Please share more, this knowledge is indispensible for all karateka.

The karate style they practice is Shorin Ryu, its one of the two styles shotokan is derived from.

great video guys, keep up the good work! will implement some of these techniques in my training. greetings, a wado-ryu practitioner from germany :)

Excellent. You guys learned Karate this way or did you just studied anatomy and the other subjects needed to reach this conclusion? Because that's a lot of interesting things brought to the table, if such concepts spread, all those arguments about traditional martial arts not being good for self-defense on their own could fall to the ground and that would be most entartaining to watch. Please keep releasing videos.

Thank you! That's exactly why we started making these videos, we wanted to change the public's perception of traditional martial arts and especially the usefulness of Kata. So our knowledge comes from a lot of trial and error in training, lessons from our Sensei (who showed us a conceptual approach to learning) and also our background in other martial arts and the sciences such as physics and anatomy. We also constantly study body mechanics, proper weightlifting techniques, grappling, etc. so it all combines to an understanding of the human body

great explanations, easy to follow

I practice Shotokan Karate, and I love to learn more about what the Karate is, the application of all the body weapons, joint locks, closing the distance... I mean, you know how is the japanese Karate, I love it, but I see something else in the okinawan Karate. I saw all your videos. Keep going!

Can you explain the conceptual approach to learning your sensei shared?

Thanks for this. It is an awesome stuff here 😍

Thank you so much, missed you guys

Great Vid again! We practice concepts of "Wally J's Small Circle JJ"....same concept as what you guys were talking about when you moving the joint in a circular motion. Much respect!

wally J is a master of joint manipulation, we're glad we gravitated towards what he's been teaching for a long time

I agree that single technique (waza) training has benefits and direction, angle, anchoring and concepts like that are good- so great single component training. The overall context though needs explanation. Otherwise, students will believe these things are what happens in self defense and they do not work well. First of all, the 5 minor bends include the fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders and ankles. The 3 major bends include the neck waist and the knees. Cops have tried some of the techniques you are demonstrating and the same thing almost always happens- a grappling match that goes wrong. Order of Operations. First, you must affect the attackers mind (kiah which shocks the nervous system and induces sensory overload), secondly, you must control the attackers base and considerably limit mobility (which rarely happens with small joint manipulation), third you must establish Major Bend Control then minor bend control. Strikes are built into the movement. All of this happens at once. What you are teaching is a component and a necessary one but leaving out the context of the larger picture. A student must have 3 things: 1. Strategy such as the one like I created for myself (Enter-Neutralize-Control). 2. a strong technical base (level 1). and 3. Tactics (2 or more techniques put together). as Sun Tzu once said, tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. A portion paraphrased. Besides all of that, students need to know the four areas 1. warn 2. Control 3. Disable 4. Lethal the (force options) necessary. On top of all of that, students need to know the psychological, tactical, and reactionary principles of combat and train in a way that supports true defense methods. Then the students will understand context. There is much much more I could add but hopefully this knowledge will enhance what you are teaching which is techniques needed as a component to the whole.The anatomy such as axis rotation, anchoring, balance, redirection, small and large circles etc that you are doing is awesome.

Love your vids, top notch stuff. Question, have you heard of Iain Abernethy, and if so, what are your thoughts on his approach to bunkai?

@karateculture

7 жыл бұрын

Iain Abernethy is a great karateka that has devised a systematic approach to his karate where he can easily teach it to other people. We definitely respect him and appreciate what he's doing for the karate community by bringing back more practical drills and deciphering kata. Our methodology was devised separately by what we've learned and our own training, it's no better or worse, just different means to the same conclusions, thanks!

you guys had a great time on your break?

Really enjoyed this video! Just one question with some of the wrist locks isn't there a danger of colliding heads with the attacker and how would you avoid such collisions.

@karateculture

7 жыл бұрын

it's possible but not likely since you're off-center from the opponent, also you can even plan on jointlocking the attacker into your own headbutt. Since these locks are aimed at getting the opponent off balance, their head wouldn't have an force enough to do any damage to you who's in the dominant position

what style of karate are these techniques in

this is the real Karate
