Send Oshima my regards, from Canada <3 Osu!

I wish that we would listen more to Motobu in practice. So many quote him and then go back to WKF and JKA sparring, practicing 10+ Katas, and silly kata competition, which turns kata into interpretive dance. MMA, Daido, and the like gave the karate world tools to fight effectively, yet the people who run karate as an institution do not use them. The type of sparring currently practiced is not really karate sparring. It is savate sparring from the 1800s. Savate itself evolved into legitimate kickboxing, while karate sparring evolved into a hodgepodge of arbitrary, confusing rules that are counterproductive to student growth. With karate's inclusion into the Olympics, the problem has only gotten worse. The Olympic Committee has not met a martial art that it could not ruin. If karate dies, the blame falls on those who refuse to change their ways.

Your student threw some sharp punches in the first bout, I swear I could feel them through the screen. The second one was total domination even before the armbar, an extremely satisfying display of skills. Thank you for posting, it reminded me I was going to watch your videos on two-handed punch. The concept seems to be against everything I've been taught, which means I'm about to learn something completely new. Congratulations to both you and your student!

Good work! I always find your posts inspiring. Tell your student I send my regards from Canada.

大島選手の成長は著しいですね！ 今度は一位になる姿を期待しています！！

Osu sensei

Congratulations. Always looking foward to yout videos.

Sir I Like it, 🎉 Thanks Sir

Sensei, thanks for your video. In my experience, Naifuanchi is a Passepartout Kata, given the incredible amount of principles and information it contains, even in its different execution methods. The central axis, in order to fully understand it, is certainly the Bunkai, in the Omote - Ura and Honto modalities. The validity of the information and principles it contains is certainly relevant and must be sought in the more mature versions of the Kata; do these correspond to the older ones? Sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on many factors, which is why it is important to do research and study a lot. Naifuanchi, like all Kata, works on the meridians of the human body, therefore Tuite and Kyusho (Dim Mak for the Chinese) are fundamental subjects to study if you want to understand the Kata well and this one in particular. Just like Qi Gong etc. For example in the first sequence, the right fist was formerly brought in high Hikite, almost in line with the right hand, because the Empi, in the Bunkai at the Omote level, is a Tuite technique that acts on the Conception Vessel, while at the Ura level of the Bunkai is still a du Tuite technique but this time carried on the opponent's arm, at the height of the Triple Heater (point 12).

Hello sensei. I have a question : did you train in karate (the whole martial art) or are you just interested in learning about katas ? Are you only a kudoka or do you consider yourself to be also a karateka ? Thank you for your time.

Choki motobu had actual fighting experience so he knew what he was talking about

Very interesting sensei, I came into karate in the 1960s as a western boxer and doorman. please keep making these videos

自身は脳梗塞を昨年に再発し、空手の先生からも型をやって行くとリハビリにもなりますよと言って頂いたのを契機に型に興味を持ちました。 今月から出稽古に行って型を学ぶようになりました。自身は無門会という団体に所属してますが、自身の体幹を鍛えて後遺症を軽減させる意味でも、取り組んで行きたいと思います。 後チャンネル登録をさせて頂きました🙇

Yahara Sensei dit : "Un vrai Combat vaut un an de Dojo..." Et citons l'une des répliques du film Matrix : "Tu n'est pas le meilleur quand tu le croit, Mais quand tu le sais..." 0ss.

I feel the same as you. Anyone who has had a handful of real fights can’t be deceived by unrealistic theories and techniques that will not work in combat. Given the fact that Motobu’s preferred method of training was to regularly visit the red light district and pick fights with powerful looking opponents, he obviously gained a lot of real-world experience in the practical application of his art. It shines through in his writings, and I take everything he says to heart.

Which one is kudo practitioner?

Watanabe Sensei, since you mentioned it, I find torite against modern martial arts pretty hard to utilize outside of a grappling interaction, or using striking as a way to disguise your grappling intention. The other way I think torite is useful and how kata can be interpreted is for guard manipulation. When you leave your punch out, it makes it easier for your opponent to hit you since you have left a "hole" in your defense. However the punch you leave out should remain active for guard manipulation, to rip their guard open for your own strike to enter. Meotode in that sense would be pulling the guard of your opponent open and using that same hand to strike. It isn't a powerful strike, but it is certainly enough to make your opponent more wary and allow you to enforce your own pressure. I find watching Archie Moore or older George Foreman boxing videos on guard manipulation very useful for this. Thanks for the video it's good things to think about when practicing naihanchi, osu

Thanks for sharing this. It looks like some kyokushin sparring with shinken shobu rules.

It is one of my favorite channel. This video explains karate is also a matter of research for its practionner. Thanks. Osu

Your explanation of using Naihanchi in old age is a good interpretation of "Karate begins and ends with Naihanchi" It can be kihon training as a beginner, and health training in old age.

This is much better than most Marital Arts when it comes to practicality

The problem is that it's not a two handed punch, it's actually a take-down.

I believe that vwhat you say, makes sense. Thank you for sharing you insight.

I’ve seen breakdowns of Joe Louis the boxer, and he often catches the opponents jab with his right hand while using his left hand to jab at the same time, similar to what you said about the uke motion with the right hand open. great video thanks sensei

A great video as always sensei, thank you very much!

Really interesting. I totally agree on the importance of the content of this videos, i will keep training and watch them over and over! Thank you sensei! Osu!

wow, the other finalist got mauled! Shows the power of constant pressure, impressive

Holy, your student is a beast. Good work! Sending love from Canada! Your videos are always an inspiration to me. Keep it up.

I don't want to embarrass myself using western terminology here, but I got to say that the match against the Kyokushin practicioner was especially fascinating for me. In terms of distance and angle control, catching the kicks and capitalizing on the opponent's mistakes it was a pleasure to watch. Interestingly enough, Lida managed to blitz (walk down with punches while changing stances - please, excuse me using such terminology) his opponent - even though Kyokushin practicioners are supposed to excel in that aspect (I've sparred with them for a while when I was actively training, but my understanding still may be incorrect, I'm sorry if that's the case). Congratulations to both you and your student!

Even if I’m across the world, you are an inspiration to me. I don’t have Kudo Daido Juku schools around me, but I will begin my Judo journey soon. The budo mentality is something I’ve always respected and admired. History will remember you well. My dream is to learn, and hopefully pass on what I’ve learned to the next generation. I have you to thank, and I’ll be sure to continue what I’ve learned in your honour, and influence those around me to believe in themselves. Thank you! Osu!

Cheering you all on from Canada. I wish I could train under you! Osu!

MMA guy would have one the fight many times over without the free stand up from the mount.

Congratulations. Osu sensei

Thanks from Spain

Bravo à lui et à son sensei. J'aurai voulu faire du kudo mais dans mon pays cette discipline est quasi inexistante.

Love it Kudo tournament are so fun ! Osu Shihan !

Impressive committment from both players! Allow me to express my respect.

WOW! congratulation! It was a beautiful match!

コメント失礼します。 45歳からでも空道習えばそこそこは強くなれますでしょうか? ヘルニア腰痛持ちなのでガツガツは出来ないのですか、、

Oss Excellent video

階級違くね？

Very inspiring in a meaningful way, thank you both for sharing this.

Thanks, for sharing.

Thank you for this, it's great to see, I am very impressed by your fitness at 61 sensei. Nice sparring, great respect and control shown by both sides.

Awesome, just remember just getting there and moving around is awesome, think how many people could not even do that. So you both have Bushido in you.

awsome! osu!

Budo is life 🥋
