Excellent Thank You Master 🎉

Love this more sparring videos please

Black belt's job here is to moderate his techniques to allow the testing student to perform, while challenging him at the same time.

1:22 very well-executed takedown! 🥋

Amazing

Yes

I took tai chi chuan lessons for a while!

Interesting!

I would like to take lessons, and learn basic lessons!

Are you sensei?

Excellent as always, Sensei!

Yes, I’ve been preaching this for a while now. Do you step back….Do you step forward? We can definitely get caught up into the never ending conversation discussion about how things were done back in the day. Then you have to ask .. WHICH DAY? The 90’s, 80’s, or the 60’s! 😮 Even the present day… every DOJO does it slightly different. I agree with you… it doesn’t matter in the slightest. I’ve witnessed Toma Sensei teaching one student one way and another student a completely different way. 😊 I have no doubt that our KATAs will continue to evolve as our students become stronger and smarter. They will be the LEADERS and will be setting the standards. In the end…. Honor your Sensei (who ever it was or is) by doing the Hand Kata or Kobudo Kata they taught you. Don’t be afraid to express yourself…it’s how we grow. 😊

Hai! Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

Outstanding video! What's your thoughts on Soke Sacharnoski's Juko-ryu Toide?

Excellent video! 😊

Thank you for addressing last week's question. I appreciate the clarification #StatePolice #Funt

Would this work in Law Enforcement? #StatePolice

Excellent!! 😊

Have fun! Train hard!

Excellent video! :)

This is a good video as it brings up some confusing issues many modern-day karateka have regarding understanding a foreign language (Japanese) applied to an Okinawan martial art (initially utilizing their native language, Unchinanguchi) and cross-culturally applying those terms worldwide. The English translations of the three subjects in your title line are Japanese terms for throwing, pressure points, and bracing and locking the joints of the five appendages (the arms, legs, and neck). In modern times, we see a non-wholistic approach to the karate arts, and sub-arts have become independent. For example, we have the martial sport of judo, which focuses on the throwing aspect of opponent management. It is focused far less on pressure points but on gross limb management and center point control of the opponent. Then we have a martial art called 'Kyusho-Jutsu or just Kyusho' propagated by Evan Pantazi. This focuses on pressure point striking, pain manipulation action-reaction, and knockouts. I believe the pressure point knockout theory was laid out by the late Seiyu Oyata Sensei here in the USA, popularized and exploited by George Dillman, and yet others follow this as the 'be-all' of martial arts. While merit and kyusho (pressure points) are an integral part of the wholistic ancient karate experience, it is a fraction of the overall art. Then we come to Toide (Japanese)/Tuide (Uchinangucci). This is locking the joints in opponent management. While others and I look at this as the majority of kata translation, it is still only a portion of the whole. The larger and ancient karate experience and the translations of classical kata holistically include all three of these things, including 'atemi' (striking). The best description for it, I have heard was Karate is standing grappling with strikes. It is a blended experience that is a puzzle for the practitioner to derive on their own. You see a teacher may show you his way, but each practitioner has their own eyes by which a kata movement can be an additional viable interpretation. All interpretations that yield sound, efficient, and effective techniques are worth putting in the toolbox and practice. A single set of movements a wrestler may see a leg take down. An acupuncture doctor may see a couple of debilitating pressure points to apply from the Five Element Theory Cycle of Destruction. A grappler may see with their eyes the skeletal system and how the body moves with levers and fulcrums. A boxer will definitely see strikes come forth as his mind is focused on punishing striking and knockouts. To say Okinawan Karate was the Original Mixed Martial Art has merit. Thank you, Sensei Eddy, for examining much of this in the video. Keep practicing and producing more videos. Be well.

Awesome!

Very low level and slow techniques. I understand explaining a technique for a demo should be slower, but you full speed technique is too slow because of bad form and you taking extra steps.

Amazing sparring is very essential in any martial art. It keeps you honest.

Great for the application of Tuidi. I've been generating spontaneous attack responses with various colleagues of different martial arts. I recently went to a Jiu Jitsu school and learned how a Peruvian Necktie feels.

Counselor Stennas can still move. Love it.

Saweeeet

This is a great video, but just once I like to see a real-time punch or attack instead of slow-mo.

Thank you for another great video!

Thank you! Toide is #1

Nice job Cole

Totally unrealistic and reminiscent of the 1980's choreographed fighting

Thank you for this ... :)) ... actually I am Czech and our native language is from the fonetic perspective very close to Japanese. So for us is very easy to pronounce Japanese words pretty good. As I am practicing in Germany now, I find the german pronuncation of japanese words very strange but I have to tolerate. So for me the issue of the Japanese words pronuncation only appears when I am in English, French, German speaking countries. :)) But not in my home country or in Japan.

Very good - thanks for explaining it

Great video Sensei but out of respect for the country of origin would you please refrain from calling it KUH RAH TEE and label it as its correct name KARA = Empty (Kahra) as in ka as in Cat -ra as in rat Te =Hand Teh (as in get or bet) otherwise excellent information and professional instruction Sensei.

Excellent stance, precise movements🙏

Excellent demonstration Sensei! 🥋

This is fantastic! I trained under Tamae Sensei in 2009-2010 while in Okinawa. He is an excellent martial artist and instructor, and he ignited a passion in me! 🥋

these dojo's with a wooden floor like this always makes me think that they are just for decoration, not for training. I mean, I feel a strong contradiction between that floor and those kettlebells for instance. Doesn't it break and tear really easily ?

Rubbish, give karate a bad name
