    2:20 Is Tang Soo Do collection of different karate styles? I see here almost like Shotokan style version but its not keage (whipping kick to side) but kekomi (side kick), in Goju they kick maegeri this point but then you continue with nekoashi-dachi which I guess is more of a Goju or Shito etc style stance.

    I really like this. I just started Tang Soo Doo, but I have years of Boxing training and this seems like a practical way to apply some boxing techniques with another martial art. Although I will not do that til I progress much further in Tang soo doo. It just seems very practical

    As far as the hands being called husband and wife my understanding is that both hands are working together. A good example is the hikite which I'm sure you are familiar with since you mentioned Iain Abernathy. Since karate goes back to Okinawa and Okinawan karate was originally taught as an in your face martial art with low line kicks, strikes, joint locks, and throws. With the hikite when the punch goes out the hikite (hand drawn back to the hip) is being used to grab the opponents clothing, hair, arm, or any part of the body to control and also increase the destructive power of the strike. Another great example is when both hands are brought together to the hip followed by a back fist or horizontal hammer fist and side kick. The hands are being used to pull the arm of the opponent to unbalance him while originally the kick was a low line kick often attacking a joint or nerve while striking the face with the.hand. I also realized that blocks that used to not make sense to me did when you use them in a close up position. The chamber for the block was often the block and what we think of being the block are actually strikes. In Shorin Ryu the block can be a block but the chamber is very tight not like it is being taught now in Shotokan or TSD. When I trained many years at a boxing gym I learned a few very important lessons. One was that it is always better to move out of the way if possible which makes your opponent miss and takes away his energy. Next would be to parry or block. The parries and blocks in boxing are the same as karate but much tighter. Boxing teaches to keep everything tight from the beginning where karate often starts to teach everything big and wide at first and then later teaches to tighten everything up. Boxing also teaches the importance of footwork. When learning that the hikite has a purpose it makes you think differently of what and why you are using it. Another important lesson from boxing is to keep your hands up. Although hikite has a purpose when a karateka has practiced many years drawing his or her hand to the hip it teaches the bad habit of dropping our hands and leaving ourselves vulnerable to being hit. As to the free sparring in Okinawa I believe that it was more closer to being a grappling type situation with some strikes added based on stories I have heard in the past. Think of the scene in Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee and Bob Wall crossing hands each feeling there strength and weakness but with more grappling. Sorry so long, just thoughts from an old man that does more sitting and thinking than training these days. Good luck and God bless. You are going down the right rabbit hole BTW.

    Interesting. It's possible there was only a format with a few guidelines, in lieu of free sparring. Being a capoeira practitioner, it makes me think about how the roda(circle) has etiquette that shapes the "game" being played. There aren't rules per se yet the roda is technically not free sparring. However just like in real life, most people follow the etiquette but some break and bend it and it's up to the players to navigate that when it happens. That's probably the most confusing and difficult thing to convey to someone... It's why you can see games that just look like two people dancing -- all the way to straight up fights in the same space. Anyway, I'm rambling now but I think there are many parallels.

    You may have answered this, and if you have I sincerely apologize, but have you ever met and or trained with grandmaster giacobbe? He wasn't exclusively my instructor (apologies it's been over 30 years since I earned my black belt and I've forgotten a lot of the terminology) but he oversaw my black belt testing and initiation. I was just curious about your thoughts and if you have any interesting stories from meeting him or training with him. He was a very intense material artist, but always a great instructor and would always give me his time and attention. Great channel, watching it brings back some great memories from my younger (very younger) days and I really really enjoy it. Thank you!

    Thanks for watching. I have met Giacobbe but I’ve never trained with him. I competed in a few of his tournaments when I was younger. Competed with his students a lot in various events in the northeast too. I don’t have any interesting stories to share but they always seemed like a good group of strong competitors.

There's a strong possibility we've crossed paths at one of his tournaments, although I'm pretty old, but it's really been a cool trip down memory lane and also interesting to see the similarities and differences between schools. I've been following your channel for a couple years and feel like you put out content that is very beneficial for tang soo doo. Thank you again for the work you do to make the content you release!

    We have police officers who train with us and they use wrist locks and armbars often, however they have spent countless hours learning how to use them And they don't always work for pain compliance based on the state of the individual the are being applied on. Many of those were originally designed to break and damage joints not just for pain compliance.

    Yo Sah Bum Nim. I hope you're doing well. I've been doing TSD for 10 years. First 4 in a Dojang where I reached Cho Dan Bo. Then studied in another for 6 and reached 2nd Gup. Unfortunately, circumstances changed. I found and am currently studying an amazing Dojang that teaches MMA with a focus on Taekwondo. I went for my first class, and followed along. The forms Pinan are basically our Pyung Ahns, and the palgue/taegeuk forms are really different. Even Bassai is pretty different. I noticed start differences than I'm used to. For instance, I'm used with prepping before stepping, pivoting with the foot and pushing with the thigh. Instead, I see a circular motion of movement when stepping. What exactly is this, and what are the different implications of circular step/technique vs a direct step/technique? There's also this thing where instead of prepping for a double knife hand middle block from the hip, the kind of put them over the shoulder all the way to the back and then block (kind of like an upwards dab?) What are the different implications of each type of prep? [CopyPasted from last episode]
