Мой старший брат (нане живет в ГДР)) занимался советским карате. От природы одаренный и фанат. Приехал к нему в Москву. Он жил в общежитии. Так он все общагу превратил в спортзал. Занимались с ним человек 200, а то и более ... Довелось видеть его в реальной разборке когда он и его кореш в двоем расхреначали кодлу 12 человек это было что-то. Те гады с ножами...Брат тогда говорил, что бойцом можно быть непродолжительное время 3-5 лет, когда все показатели на пике, а потом ты уже немного ветеран. Сейчас он обучает там кого-то.

The bat technique looked all right, but the board-breaking was rigged with heated boards. Any trained eye would notice that from them being darker than they're supposed to be and from how brittle they looked as he hit them. I don't use wood heated in ovens to make them easier to break.

This is how it was in olden times. You were not trained for sport but for infallible solidarity in your duties as a warrior. It was more than a job to be loyal to your lord, it was an honor of the highest and it was unacceptable to fail your lord. It’s one thing to be a martial artist and a whole different thing to be a warrior. These men are warriors. It’s what I aspire to in my training. I have the highest respect for those who are true warriors.

Beautiful in every way shape and form. ❤️💯

Please note the controlled breathing to focus their energy and not the over dramatic screaming that’s over done for “show” in too many schools and tournaments. These are true Martial Arts practitioners and not just putting on a “show”. Much respect to both of them!

The scream or Kiai is applied in battle. It is not only to encourage yourself but to also frighten and intimidate the enemy. Here it is not necessary, although some consider it traditional.

1. Took Okinawan Kemp Karate in the 70's. Crab Stance was my selected option. Very brutal concepts and mindsets that mostly work in real life. 2. Took several styles of martial arts but wound up to Krav Maga which I considered the best all around form of real life protection. 3. Breaking boards and baseball bats, if you know where and how to strike is not that special, which is why in today's age everything thing like a baton is made out of a metal or of a polymer. Besides that very nicely done on the choreographs. This takes a great deal of proper timing on all parts so much respect on them.

I love Okinawan karate style.

This is how it was in the 1970's Shotokan Karate classes in the UK. The 'blood and guts" era. With 'legend' instructors like Enoeda, Kanazawa, Fuller and several 'hard' English 2nd and 3rd Dan sensei in dojo's around the Country. You learned karate very rapidly or you simply wilted and died 😂. Today things are just too sanitized with more concern being given to elf n' safety, insurance cover, wearing safety clothing etc... Great video - thanks.

Once I was an adolescent, one guy showed me how to break a pencil with a simple leaf of a folded paper. I tried hard, but it didn't work. Then I concentrated all my will and belief, and it worked. Another day he said he simply broke the pencil with his hands while moving the paper swiftly. But I did it for real.

There’s no economical value now in such mastery of skills. Priceless... I hope there are still such masters in future.

There are actually hidden costs to this lifestyle of heart disease, certain types of cancers, hypertension, diabetes, bad circulation of blood, and of course obesity but you see people living that lifestyle more and more.

All of the wood pieces are carefully selected to be light, very dry, have the most breakable grain, and it's all from softer species of wood. They turn the bats themselves or have someone else turn them...they're softer wood also, something light and dry, they're not made with the same type wood regular bats are made from...you can recognize that in the demonstrations if you pay attention to how the wood pieces break...was involved in these type demos years ago...was not performing myself but assisting the performers...and everyone in that group knew that's how they made the demos possible...still impressive feats these men are performing here, but not the near impossible ones they're perceived to be by most people.

I remember my sensei doing this kata every time before we started class, made him strong, then when I learned it, I figured out why, damn it made my body strong, I miss those days.

Youre gonna break your bones if you hit urself with bats and punch hard boards without conditioning, its only for the strong not for beginners to get strong. Search seienshin Kata, do you see them punch always some hard stuff? No they just punch or kick the air. I can't agree its just pure strength.

​@@MegaRhettButlerIf you don't practice fighting in a ring with real people on a regular basis, your martial art skills are worthless in a real fight, no matter how much wood you can break. That's because being in a fight is also a skill that if not practiced, it doesn't matter how much you know against an experienced fighter (Look up Xu Xiaodong, the MMA man beating up Kung Fu masters across China to understand what I mean). Took me a while to realize the truth, Karate was a nice base, but studying MMA now. Nothing wrong with studying martial arts in which dojos you never really fight either, it's great sport, form, tradition, just don't rely on it to save you in a real fight. I know it's not a popular opinion with traditional Martial Arts aficionados, but it's the honest truth. The internet is full of videos of masters surprised when they get their rears handed to them in a sanctioned fight, some look absolutely dazed as it's the first time you see them take a punch to the face.

You can really tell the difference in Muay Thai between ex karate guys and untrained people. If you want to be able to fight you eventually have to fight. I agree. I also believe that traditional styles and MMA have things to teach each other and that there should be mutual respect between different styles. My club recently had a full contact event between Muay Thai, MMA, Freestyle Martial Arts and kickboxing clubs. We're a traditional style of Muay Thai but our guys did well (so did the MMA guys). All the clubs there were tough, all could fight and all showed respect for each other. There were no Tai Chi or Wing Chun clubs there however.

Also good physical training, and self control were practiced. To my understanding Karate evolved from a martial art to a more civilian friendly use, sport etc. It's not fair to compare old karate with new one.
