Awesome! Thanks for watching. I appreciate the support.

They didn't want to box.

Yep! That's why i am working at it. Thanks for taking time to watch. It's much appreciated. Hit me up when you start dropping your content. I would be honored to be your first subscriber, and I will push your stuff to try and help you get out there. Thanks again.

And I appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch. Thanks for that. I am sure you looked much better at the beginning of your training. Good training to you.

Thank you so much 👍

Truth be told I was just trying to give myself a reason to wake up earlier in the morning. If I didn't have something to do or to look forward to I would just keep hitting the snooze button. Now I am on a mission to try and turn my "Dad-Bod" into a "Father Figure!" Thanks for watching.

@@toranotsumedojo I like that last sentence! Turning your dad bod into a father figure! Maybe if I use that slogan on him, he'll change his mind

Nah, not bored. I got way too much stuff to do and am way too inside my head! Lol! Thanks for watching.

Appreciate it!

I tell my guys that there are only the basics and advanced technique is nothing more than the basics done at a really high level. That's oversimplified, but you get my point. Having said that, I find it interesting that the masters that I have seen that do the basics at a really high level do in fact have advanced stuff, but they never, ever get a chance to break it out because the basics work too well. It's like they never get to bring out the magical +3 sword of Heaven because they have a really, really good Swiss army knife that hasn't found a job it cannot handle.

Aint that the truth!!!

Yep. That's totally a thing.

@toranotsumedojo Hilarious

Thanks!

Thanks.

Likewise. Thanks!

Thanks for watching.

Lol. You got me! Yeah, got a Judo GI because I kept ripping karate GIs on the collar and armpits. This is my first judo gi. It didn't take me long to realize that it is somewhat of a training weight and it doesn't breathe. That last bit is a bonus when it gets cold. Thanks for watching.

I agree. It's so much fun. Thanks for watching.

Yep. Its a good technique. Thanks for watching. I will keep that in mind for a future video. Thanks again.

Awesome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the sub. I just subscribed to your channel as well. I love the bodyweight stuff. Keep it up. You're out here doing the Lords work. Keep inspiring and educating people.

Cool. Thanks for watching our video.

Thanks. Yeah, I like one-step sparring for a whole bunch of reasons. I think people that hate on it either have never done it and don't understand what can be learned from it or they have done it and grown beyond it, then they get to a point where they think they could have done without it. It's sort of like people that don't think martial artists shouldn't practice kata because Bruce Lee said remain formless even though he began in an art that is heavily rooted in forms. Thanks for watching.

I agree 100%. This set of exercises is a foundation that we build our philosophy on. I use this to attach principles and concepts to. Think of it like learning the concept of arithmetic. You don't learn every permutation of numbers being added, subtracted, divided, or multiplied. You learn a few to understand the concepts and then you can move onto algebra and calculus. The foundational understanding is distancing, what we call "Star Stepping," The Three Initiatives, and what we call the "Self-Defense Roadmap." Once those are understood then we play with things like "Kime" vs "Chinkuchi", Ikken Haisatsu, kyusho jutsu, etc. Like I say in the video this is very sanitized. Later on we get into the weeds. We box, kickbox, grapple, clinch wrestle, point fight, etc. It's all in a effort to better understand the art and its application. Thanks for watching.

​@@toranotsumedojo Thank you for your sage reply. Always a pleasure to watch.

I think it depends on what it is, but sure sometimes. Thanks for checking out the video. Much appreciated.

Hey thanks for checking out the video. I really do appreciate that. I agree that karate is not the best for fighting. I would totally advocate for someone that wants to fight train in a fighting art. Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Judo every other art that allows practitioners to match with a resisting opponent is tailored for fighting. Karate, excluding fighting/knockdown styles of karate like Kyokushin or Kudo, are not made for fighting. They are made for self-defense. Though there is a lot of overlap the focus is very different. The goal of fighting is to win. The goal of self-defense is to never have to use it. What you see in the video is us going over principles, concepts, a philosophy if you will. Ms. Wing is learning how to apply the kata she is practicing, a few parts of it at least, when she is given forward pressure. Listen to the commentary, "Don't meet force with force." "Bridge with your opponent and maintain that stickiness." "Yield to the force by turning and come in from the side." What you are watching is a 10 minute mash-up of a single class going over a single piece of material. What you don't see is where either of them were coming from or the progress they have made. What part of the journey are they on? Watch some of our other videos where we are clinching and you can see them working on applying some of the techniques. They are getting better at their clinching and hand-fighting. Thier balance is improving, they are getting more aggressive, their conditioning is increasing, and they are almost beginning to blend. It is a long road, but I am sure they will get there. Again, thanks for checking it out! Also post some of your stuff. I would love to check it out. I will subscribe to your channel.

@@toranotsumedojo i followed u sir

​@@MrLeastViral much appreciated.

That's what I keep telling him.

hahahaha. Nice!

Awesome. Thanks for watching. We will keep working hard and improving.

Hey thanks for watching. We really appreciate it. Sincerely, you took time out of your life that you will never get back to leave us this comment. We don't take that lightly and again we appreciate it.

@@toranotsumedojo 🤣

@@Basreiter I checked out your channel but all I could find was playlists. Do you have any of your work posted? I'd like to check it out. I may learn from it.

@@toranotsumedojo 🤣🤣🤣 you are the best

I'm not sure if you were referring to me or Ronnie, but either way it's cool. Master Ken is awesome. Anyway, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching.

Did you read the notes?😉 Chugoku no Chikara Himitsu done with tonfa.😁 The empty handed kata is actually a derivative of a kata called "Wankan" from the Shorin Ryu style.

⁠@@toranotsumedojooh okay I see the notes now, I was wondering cause I could’ve sworn I know that kata. I honestly like it a lot more than others, do you know wonduwon? I’m not sure how to spell it exactly.

​@@Kungfubum I have forgotten Wanduan and Wannubi and Chinpe and Chinshu. I'm going to be honest, there are a few lists of kata that I have forgotten. 😂😂

@@toranotsumedojo I can at least show you what I know of Wanduan to help you remember.

Awesome 👍. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to tell me that. Also, was the form not a form you liked or was it my performance of the form not to your liking? Oh, and what did you think of the music and camera work? I'm experimenting with my camera work.

@@toranotsumedojo Your skills were very good…. I just think that you pick a simpler form…. It would be awesome if you choose another form with more twirling…. The music and camera angle are very well done….

​@@manhnguyen5 Okay awesome. Thanks for the feedback. I have something in mind.

@@toranotsumedojo Very good training..

Thanks!
