  Da derjenige der den Hebel macht, die Schultern vorne hat, ist es relativ leicht, aus diesem Hebel zu kommen. Würde er seine Schulter nach hinten und nach unten, auf die Schulter des Gehebelten drücken, wäre es sehr viel schwerer diesen Hebel zu blocken. Prinzip: Hinten runter, Mitte hoch, vorne runter.

  I think 🤔 itosu anko, saying. Is referring to the method as well. Sounds like akido talk. Stand up grappling comes to mind. As the best fit. Avoiding harm, using hands and feet. Against a villan or ruffian. I feel, defence against punches to be the best starting point. So karate is punch defence to take them to the ground, while staying on your feet. This is how i interpreted itosu's quote.

  Kata is to make you think of each movement applied in a self defense situation. Each practitioner should have a different blend on what fits them as an individual. Every time you see Instructors showing bunkai, or Oyo for Kata, It’s going to be what works, and not work.

  There’s defiantly a need to have karate work for the individual, but kata is not a blank canvas that is open to any and all interpretation. As Itosu wrote in 1908 (my emphasis), “Learn the explanations of every movement fully, and then YOU decide how and when YOU would use them when needed.” The movements of the kata are examples of solid combative principles. We need to learn, practise, understand and internalise them as they are presented by the kata. From there, we can decide how and when we as individuals can personally best apply them. We will need to make adaptations based on our individual build, preferences and proclivities. We also need the ability to adapt to the specific circumstances of any given situation. We don’t fight with kata, bunkai or drills …we fight with the habits (i.e. internalised combative principles) the kata, bunkai and drills have engendered in us. It all starts wit the kata example though. We don’t learn what works for us (by an unidentified process) and then overlay that to the kata. The kata teaches us what works, and then we fine tune for us as individuals.

  We all have our own preferences. I’ve not broken any knuckles either in 40 years of training, and I intend to hit front two, but, as per the video, we will always hit what we hit with because people are not flat and, for softer targets, we will end up making contact with all four if the punch moves more than 1cm into the target.

  Look at wrestling styles that started in different areas. All of them have versions of double leg take downs :D From the Greeks and the Romans to old school Japanese Jujitsu and Chinese Shuai jiao. All have hip tosses, too. And probably a lot more, but I come from Greco and scholastic wrestling. So, I don't know enough about Judo and Shuai jiao, but I bet there are a TON of moves that are very similar and use similar mechanics but developed independently. This obviously comes from ancient ancestors who A. grappled and B. had to use leverage and find an advantage using only what the human body is capable of.

  my personal conclusions from this video are: 1.maybe boxing is good for criminal violance because of the intensive training of striking,footwork,etc 2.but it doesn't contradict the fact that karate as I heard was created against regular untrained people,not against very trained people.

• 
  @practicalkatabunkaiАй бұрын

  Fair conclusions, but I think some addition nuance would help: 1) Boxing is good for physical self-protection because the exclusive focus on punches makes them very good at punching. Most situations start at conversation range, where punches are ideal, so skill at punching can help end it quick. HOWEVER, the sport of boxing does not cover criminal behaviour, awareness, law, escape skills, conflict-based communication, etc, so if people are specifically looking to deal with criminal violence, they should train specifically for that as opposed to training in mutually consented to punching duels for the limited cross over. If they have the skills for criminal violence, and also boxing skills, and they know how to contextualise those boxing skills for that context, then that’s an impressive skills set. Bottom-line through, we should be specific in training. 2) We need to be careful with the word “untrained” as it does not mean “unskilled” or “inexperienced”. It simply means, “not trained in the same martial arts as you.” Criminals are the experts in criminal violence. They are skilled and very experienced in that regard, despite not being formally trained in any give martial art or combat sports. Karate was originally designed for that kind of violence, but many modern practitioners now focus on out-fighting other karateka. A very skilled boxer will lose to a very skilled judoka in a judo bout, and vice-versa. It’s what we are skilled and at what the context is that matter. A skilled criminal may never win any form of competitive combat sport, but despite being “untrained” they can still be the most competent at the use of criminal violence.

  @@user-uk2ok8yo7g I think the key thing, which we need to be sure not to overlook, is that criminal violence is very different in nature to consensual violence. As one of my instructors put it, “When two martial artists fight it is like two chess masters sitting down to play chess. However, in self-defence, the martial artist ‘sits down to play chess’ and is surprised when the criminal throws the pieces at them and tries to smash their head in with the board. The martial artist remains the better ‘chess player’ but the mistake they made was thinking that the criminal wanted to play chess.” It's very different and you can’t expect a methodology designed for one type of violence to be a perfect fit for another type of violence. Martial artists have a very bad, and consistent habit, of seeing themselves as “apex-predators” because they are trained in their specific art when the criminal lacks such training. They forget that the criminal is often the “expert” in criminal violence though and that’s the kind of violence in play. As above, “untrained” does not mean “unskilled” or “inexperienced”. I take your point about physical condition playing a part, but that’s no substitute for specific skills and “knowing your enemy”. If dealing with criminal violence is the goal, then we need to train specifically for that. Going to the gym or training for consensual violence for the limited crossover / by-product, isn’t sufficient. It will help to a limited degree, but it’s far from being enough. I also agree that the “average person in the street” generally doesn’t have much capacity for any form of violence, but violent criminals are not your average person in the street. All important points that I feel need clarified for anyone reading. All the best, Iain

  @@user-uk2ok8yo7g It depends really on “what Shotokan” and what you mean by “the street”. Shotokan that includes the close-range practises encapsulated in the traditional kata will be better placed than a sporting or 3K approach when it comes to the physical side of things. However, if we are talking about true self-protection, we need to also cover legalities, crime statistics, criminal behaviour, de-escalation, escape skills, personal security, etc and they are rarely covered in most martial arts classes. Martial artists often reduce self-protection to “street fighting”, but they are not the same thing. For a start, we have a legal right to protect ourselves, but no legal right to fight in the street. Very different things.

  @@user-uk2ok8yo7g I would agree with you from a health perspective. I can see why people stick to their dominant side in combat sports i.e. a right-handed boxer always trains with their left foot forward, a right-handed judoka always trains with their right foot forward, etc because they need to be focused on winning and using what they find most effective. However, this can result in imbalances in the body’s development and longer term that can cause issues. There’s therefore a case for the more “recreational” martial artist ensuring their body is as healthy as possible by ensuring even development. There’s also a case for the self-protection side of things were picking a side and expecting to always be in a given position to initiate a technique can be problematic. Personally, I like to train everything on both sides, but I am happy to work with my natural side bias in sparring, etc ie I generally fight left foot forward, but will switch it up now and again, even though that means I am not going to be at my best.

  Hello, I have really been enjoying and learning a lot from your video's. I may have missed it, if not I have a clarifying request. You give great detail of what the move and kata are for. Can you explain, where/what my mind should be thinking when training/practicing Kata? I learned, as one of your previous video's called it the 3K's. So with that in mind, and what I have learned from your video's, what should I be thinking as I practice katas? Simple Taikykoku Shodan, as an example, I look left, stack for left downward block, and move to a left front stance, and execute a left downward block. I have always thought this way and focused on the execution of the technique and movement. I am now wondering, as I train kata, should I be thinking differently? I am moving to the left side of my opponent, blocking with the correct weight distribution and planted, for the step in and counter punch? Then, I do all of that to the right, I am training the other side? Then down the center of the I. Rather than a block with 3 punches. Should I be thinking, blocking directly in front, with 3 forward moving punches, with the assumption of aggression or the opponent is retreating? Or is it better to preform the Kata, focus on technique, and then work on breaking it apart as you demonstrate, with a partner, bag, or pole, for reference? Thank You in advance.

• 
  @practicalkatabunkaiАй бұрын

  That’s certainly what they would call them in judo, but I would question if they are the only “proper names”. Judo terminology tends to be dominant these days, but the exact same throws go by other names in old-school karate (varying from instructor to instructor), pre-judo-jujutsu (again, varying from style to style), wresting, etc. I do occasionally get told I have the names “wrong” when using alternative or older names, but that’s only because of the fact judo’s terminology is dominant today. When discussing the throws taught by given past masters - as I am doing in this video - my preference is to stick with what they personally called those thows; as opposed to “translating” into modern judo terminology. That seems to be more historically accurate and appropriate to me. Ultimately, when discussing function, it does not matter what people call them. As I like to occasionally remind people, “No one ever won a fight with terminology.” To quote Shakespear, “What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

  Just curious: how does this compare to uraken jodan (back fist to the head) with the same novement? That was pretty much my default, once upon a time. Dealing with illness at the moment, but I very much want to get back into karate.

• 
  @practicalkatabunkaiАй бұрын

  I think it depends on the objective. If we are talking about points style competition, then using uraken in that way is solid. However, if we are talking about delivering a powerful shot that has the potential to KO, then it’s much better to stick to the cross / gyakuzuki. The reason being that the opponent is advancing so the cross / gyakuzuki will largely impact in the opposite direction which will increase the effect. The uraken would be coming in more from the side. Furthermore, with the cross / gyakuzuki, the forward lean of the body is in the same direction of the strike - which will increase impact - however, with the uraken, the body is leaning forward whist the strike is coming in from the side. As always, it ultimately depends upon the objective and the context. The question, “Will this work?” is meaningless unless we also ask, “Works for what?”. If we are in a context where power and effect are key, then the cross / gyakuzuki is the much better option. However, if we are looking at a context where that is irrelevant (i.e. points fighting) then there is no reason at all while we could not swap out the cross / gyakuzuki for a uraken as that will definitely also work within that context. We don’t consider or train for points fighting in my dojo, so the uraken is out as a viable option for us and what we do. That’s not to say it’s a bad choice for other contexts though. I recall a session with one of my instructors where a fellow student threw a lateral uraken and my instructor said he should not do it as it wasn’t powerful enough. The student responded with, “I reckon I could make his eyes water!” To which, my instructor replied, “Well, read him a chapter from Love Story or peel an onion in front of him then.” Got a good laugh from everyone, including the gent who had used the uraken. Best of luck with the recovery! All the best, Iain

That hand was never intended to be empty in application through and but people keep coming up with justifications for it.

  The hands circle at the beginning of the kata is a practice of peripheral vision. The hands should just barely be seen as the karate-ka completes the full circle, everything in katas are lessons , this beginning practice of using peripheral vision should be utilized throughout the kata, even the bow at start and the bow at the end. A state of mind during combat. Boxers, good ones, very much understand this. I will add, once the state of mind is achieved, it can become dangerous to remain in no-mind [ a combat mind}. A true karate student who has spent years in the art knows exactly what has been described
