@N8xd spider nate! Yes of course I remember you! I'm week thanks. I how your doing good these days.

@@brlc3278 did they do something dumb? Did you watch the video

@@vivianasantanilla1097 yes

@frankramos5629 what?

Revive what? All the big schools of which I was one of them left in the early 2000s. All that's left are a bunch of small schools and they can't seem to understand the organization is the reason why they can't grow or thrive. It's a dead art and organization.

Bro, it's sparring, get over it

What's your issue? It's two students testing their abilities in a controlled manner with safety equipment. If anything these days, people aren't more aggressive, they're actually sheltered. I don't understand your point About black children, I just see children in my program. I don't base it off skin color I base it off what they give back to me after I trained them. The particular child you're talking about has been with me. For over eighteen months and as my most senior child in my studio. He has worked his way up continues to thrive. What I'm teaching him is how to handle what life may throw at him. In life the obstacle is the answer. We shouldn't remove obstacles from our children's lives but teach them how to overcome them That is on teaching him comma if you're seeing just fighting well , you have an elementary understanding of what actual obstacles in life may be Teaching people to fight is easy. It's a byproduct of good training.

You just showed your racism and ignorance in one TH-cam comment well played sir

Sorry, that's just a rhetoric. Marshall means war or military. Every country on the planet had a system of martial practices or war arts. It's not just from Asia and Bodie. Dharma as a Buddhist did not create martial arts. He created a health practice that later was adapted into a martial art

@@HouseOfWarriorsverobeach So you've just agreed to what I said. When I say martial arts came from a meditative state of mind, I meant Bohidarma was the one that brought about the three internal mother forms, tai chi, baguazanhg and Hsing-i chuan, to help the monks in heavy prey, to circulate their Chi, instead of stagnation, then the three internal styles got turned into combat martial arts by the warlords. 🍻

@sylvain5146 No I didn't. martial arts existed before bodydarma. Bodydarma was a man of peace, he invented practices for health purposes. there is nothing martial or military about his practices. television has invented that it developed into that. Martiall means war. Stopwatching the television show Kung Fu, I actually looked at history. there were war practices and war arts in China long before him. as well as in Europe, Africa, and Greece. Organized fighting systems were developed by the military to protect the king or royalty. Shaolin is not a fighting system. And that's been proven in actual demonstrations many times. When I say they developed later comma that was through some re imagining by the chinese government. But there is nothing military or warlike about any of that stuff.

@@HouseOfWarriorsverobeach well we'll just have to agree to disagree 🤝

​@sylvain5146 no, I just gave you historical facts and you just won't accept it. also, what are you referring to about? The Korean war machine? Korea has always been continuously invaded. And they were the hermit kingdom for majority of time In addition, for half of the twentieth century, almost they were occupied by japan and stripped of their culture and even their language. They were forced into military conscription by japan. This is the problem with martial arts or people like you. you believe fantasy, and when facts present themselves, you can't accept it and your b******* answer is, let's agree to disagree. you know that what you were saying is incorrect and should never, ever be discussed. As it perpetuates, the idea of these fantastical stories that are really a version of mythology for the Chinese. if shaolin was so effective. Why are they now teaching forms of karate MMA and kickboxing in China. fastest growing martial art in China right now is M. M. A and Brazilian jujitsu. why is that? Because they got their a**** handed to them years ago when they put 10 of their best Kung Fu masters against 10 muay Thai practitioners. Shaolin is a tourist trap in China, where people like you and people who wanna believe in fantasy. and refute historical fact.

Crazy thing, they're was grappling originally in the art, and they could have expanded it.

@@HouseOfWarriorsverobeach I have to say my instructor was and still is a quality martial artist. And I'm glad I chose that style at that time.

@@timtime9167 I apologize I have to edit my comment. I originally meant to say there was originally grappling but they never expanded on it

I think a lot of the ones who broke away have done already. and evolved it.

I didn't have a problem defense. Reducing the chill sun or yukro forms. My issue was the unrealistic attitude towards the changing world. And I don't feel they've been innovative. Probably since the early 80s. And I agree the style is way too soft now and I don't see them. Being able to effectively handle themselves in self-defense.

​@@HouseOfWarriorsverobeach I'd love to see a video on your opinions on a type of no contact sparring that the Moo Duk Kwan. I think they call it "Moo Do"? After watching several videos of it, I have my own opinions on it. But it would be nice to hear someone who actually was a member of the group.

@barrettokarate When I started training in the late 80s, it was contact sparring all the way through. Then the attitude changed toward no context. Sparring, you're the only black belts can make contact. I was a black belt by the time that happened so it didn't matter to me. But I noticed how students could not realistically defend themselves and many of them. So they could spar like me and the more senior dans, Would seek out private lessons with me all the time. And I would help them. Even. The instructor I was currently under at the time in the early to mid.Nineties agreed that this was an issue and students were not learning how to defend themselves under the organizations guidelines I had left that studio to open my own school. But at that time that instructor head started a full contact sparring class for serious students and those who were Greenbelt and above. Well, I am more of a kickbox in system. Many people comment that it looks like older tSD In my studio, we spar weekly. And we do a mix of either light sparring, meaning just boxing gloves and minimal gear to medium sparring. Will be wear headgear face protection and shin guard. Not too different from the early days. I have found that there has been a resurgence in many of these martial arts, not just related to karate or Korean martial arts, but even Brazilian jujitsu to go back to a time when it was all focused on self-defense. I know the type of sparring you're speaking of when I left in 2008, they started to introduce, for masters, the presequenced sparring. It is total nonsense and is just an artful display of choreography. Also in the sparring matches that they do with these high level masters if you Institute, these dumb long backfist techniques from their forms.You are given extra points Again, not focused on efficacy, just on display. Most of us back when I was a member stopped competing and doing sparring, especially after third dawn, because no one would compete at fourth degree blackbelt, as there was no sparring division. However, Charles Ferraro when he broke away, introduced a master's division, which was true sparring for masters. But he had to leave the organization to do such. So many of us would resign and just not compete unless you wanted to just do forms. But as I left in 2008, this is what they were introducing and I was kind of glad I left because I did not see that as interesting enough for me.

It actually mirrors Okinawan Te (karate) which had and still has higher stances than Shotokan. The Japanese modified Te (karate) stances when it was introduced to Japan and changed the name a bit.

@robertdennis550 I'm not sure where you disagree with my point. TSD was established by Won Kuk Lee (before Huang Kee / Moo Duck Kwan capitalized on the TSD name. ) Won Kuk Lee learned - what was the Shotokan of the time (hence I wrote "snapshot"). Yes it mirrors Okinawan karate more than Shotokan today but that's because Shotokan changed a lot after Won Kuk Lee went back to Korea. So, my point is, it's interesting to see in TSD what Shotokan was like back then (without the Korean kicks and Kung fu elements Hwang Kee added). And yes, Shotokan back then, resembled okinawan karate (because essentially it was) more than the Shotokan karate it became.

@@sebastiandavid2546In Hwang Kee's "Autobiography" he says he learned karate from Okinawan books. It may or may not be true but that's what he said. 😁 Also he said Tang Soo Do is a generic term, so yes Karate Do is Tang Soo Do.

@robertdennis550 he was also a green belt under Won Kuk Lee's organization of Tang Soo Do where he got to learn the rhythm and tempo of the pinan/heian/pianan forms, according to a TH-cam video I saw recently.

It's spoken in Korean so it's not really mispronounced. The Japanese & Koreans pronounce things differently. Tang Soo Do is more than just Shotokan. It's Subak & Taekkyeon (Native Korean martial arts) and Yang Kung-Fu (Northern Chinese martial arts) Also the original source to which karate came from was China. The pioneers of Karate/Tou Te (Chinese Hand) went to China to study. They merely brought it over to the Ryukyu kingdom (Later renamed Okinawa) and shared it with others. So actually all karate is just watered down kung fu. 👊🥋🇨🇳

You're exactly right, I think original TSD was very good and fun to practice. But now it's become such a pale invitation of itself that the breakaway organizations are now ten times bigger than the m d k Recently, they try to bring a umbrella group and call it. The heritage program period I was skeptical and my friends that were still. In the organization believe that they were going to disband the m d k had starred over and bring everyone back Of course, that wasn't true and for everyone to come back and get access to HC hwang They had to swear allegiance and change That was the end of that

I teach it incorporated into my kickboxing system, single, double stick add knife as well

@@HouseOfWarriorsverobeach Cool. I know various kickboxing styles and other arts in my 40yr journey, Then created/combine my own concept. But I'm like an underachiever when it comes to MA I just stick around the understand Basic. I always get like up to a brown belt/blur belt or something gets in the way. Like for example I was in the Philippines for a short while I was learning Yan yawn for two weeks. I only learn a little of the stick fighting.(i was upset i had to leave) Also, know Western boxing from the 90s and Muay Thai. and stuff nothing much about it. I got a brown belt in TKD and other stuff.
