      It’s easy to overlook. This drill executes 220 blocks/strikes and takes about 5 minutes to complete. Doing it 5 times takes nearly half an hour and if you are doing it right will give you a great workout and is one of the best ways to strengthen your ukes and tsukis.

    Howdy! I am pushing 70 years old and lived in Asia almost 50 years. I lived on Okinawa and studied with the so-called high Masters of Shorin Ryu. One Master particularly disliked Chinese martial artists and had a rabid racial dislike of them! JUMP! After figuring it out I went to TAIWAN FREE CHINA 1978. With Chinese letters of Introduction from my Teachers in California. Then I learned that these Okinawans sneaked off to Taiwan and paid huge sums of cash money to explain to them the kata bunkai that they never learned about and lacked the foundation. Yeah! Watching big shot 6-7-8-9 degree Black Belt Red belt “ masters” getting their asses kicked in GM HUNG’s old Di Wha Jieh dojo was shit loads of fun! Especially because I was a white American who was despite my eagerness to learn in Okinawa, was disappointed and dismissed by the arrogant Okinawan who pretended to know great “ secrets” but got slapped around silly by 2yr green belts in the Old Quarter

    I can't ever imagen how a looser fist could be safer on the wrists/knuckles... Much rather stick to open hand which many don't know how to fully utilize.. Observe different mma hand striking & experiment on various surfaces & it'll start making sense.. Only fist striking I feel good about are back fists

    • @HiddenTeachings
      @HiddenTeachings 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It’s good to be skeptical and I understand you have no reason to trust me. I had trust in my instructors. If you don’t trust the technique then take away one thing: every bare knuckle punch you throw in the gym or on the street has a significant risk for injury. When you train, it’s easy for your larger muscles to develop faster than your wrists putting your wrists and hands at risk. Balance wrapped/gloved bag work with bare knuckle work. Hit both hard objects and soft objects and study the differences in your body mechanics. Be technical as well as physical but never one more than the other.

  • @mischahayek3473
    @mischahayek3473 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Years ago I began studying karate. We were taught by a 3rd degree head instructor and first degree black belt. When the head instructor demonstrated sparing against the first dan, he started bouncing on his feet, throwing jabs and crosses. No karate thrust punches or back fists. The first Dan tried defending with his karate style inside and outside blocks. He was getting tagged all the time. So when it came down to fighting, our head instructor abandoned all of his karate training and used western boxing techniques instead. After that class, I quit karate, bought a book on kickboxing, and started working on a heavy bag. I never regretted it!

    • @HiddenTeachings
      @HiddenTeachings 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I believe you because experienced this too. When I received my shodan (1st degree) I was told by my instructor : Congratulations, you’re ready to begin learning (karate). If you are learning more from a book than from an instructor, you are probably right to leave that instructor.
