Seidokan Saturday 214, 1st kyu Brown belt - spontaneous situational response sparring.
As you know, I don't script these, and therefor can ramble. The point here is to create scenarios within which self defense might occur, and then move into randon spontaneous attack responses.
Regular freesparring is more akin to "fighting" than it is self defense. Random spontaneous attack training is more useful in that regard.

Seidokan Saturday 212, 1st kyu Brown Belt - Tuidi and gradations of response
มุมมอง 39714 วันที่ผ่านมา
Tuidi is one of the tools or aspects of karate that allow us to gradate our response. Many critics and commenters on the methods of karate seem to view "fighting" as all or nothing, life or death, knock out and disable, MMA, battlefield, or what have you. Never mind the difference between "fighting" and "self defense". Unilateral response to violence or threats is a poor way to train and think....
Seidokan Saturday 211, 1st kyu Brown belt - more tuidi/toide
มุมมอง 13021 วันที่ผ่านมา
Tuidi is the Okinawan pronunciation. In spite of Okinawa becoming a property of Japan starting with the Meiji restoration circa 1868, certain terms, in karate particulary, persist, as does the Okinawan language as a whole, especially among older Okinawans. Tuidi techniques are first taught against grabs - the wrist, the shoulder or lapel, then against chokes and such. Once a basic movement is l...
Seidokan Saturday 210, 1st Kyu Brown Belt - Tuidi/Toide
มุมมอง 13728 วันที่ผ่านมา
Tuidi is the Okinawan version of Aikijujutsu, or in Chinese, Chin Na. While there are many similiarities, there are subtle differences in each expression of the art. But ultimately, the human body only bends certain ways when functioning correctly, and manipulating the joints outside of their proper motion can cause pain, dislocation, or breaking. Seidokan has no set universal heirarchical curr...
Seidokan Saturday 209, Language - using Japanese in the dojo
มุมมอง 69หลายเดือนก่อน
I had a comment on last week's video regarding my pronunciation of "karate" that got me thinking. I'd actually recorded a Toide/TuiDi video, but my SD card on my phone hates me and glitched out, so I did this today since I don't have a partner available.
Seidokan Saturday 208, 1st kyu Brown belt - Kempo YK 21
มุมมอง 1.8Kหลายเดือนก่อน
This technique begins with a "duck under" set up. The duck under is a common grappling maneuver, but in this technique, we maintain the hold on the arm/wrist. The hook kick, or more specifically the spinning hook kick, is the finisher on this technique. Modern sports iterations of the "kagi geri" or "ura mawashi geri" have become a tap and retract rather than the combative method of hook kick w...

มุมมอง 428หลายเดือนก่อน
Our first official bo/kun kata in Seidokan. Others have created various beginner level forms, but this was the first staff kata in Toma's Seidokan. Originally named "Kihon Bo" (Basic Staff), since Toma's passing it has been renamed Toma no Kun. Toma sensei took an old form, Ufugusuku no Kun, simplified it and added a bit from the end of Tokumine no Kun, to create this kata. While variations in ...
Seidokan Saturday 205, 1st kyu Brown belt - Naihanchi bunkai concepts
มุมมอง 1872 หลายเดือนก่อน
A reminder that - 1) bunkai has no empirical answer, but is rather an individual pursuit, and 2) even Okinawans only one or two generations removed from karate's origins didn't agree on how to perform each kata, much less how to interpret them, leading to 3) the very reasons why so many different versions of the same kata exist.

Ha, ha. Yeah, if he has to.
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!
I'm glad you appreciate it.
Thank you! Toide is #1
Nice job Cole
He did well.
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.
shuuuuut upppp
You sound insufferable
And while you’re at it, tiptoe around every fragile person’s insecurities
Excellent stance, precise movements🙏
Overly generous. Thank you. I just see the areas I need to keep improving on. 🙂
Excellent demonstration Sensei! 🥋
Thank you!
Also very interesting and informative explanation of detailed differences.
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 ?
The kettlebells have rubber bases. Most Okinawan dojos have wood floor, as do most Japanese homes. It's very common. In Okinawan dojo with wood floors, they will usually place mats in the area where chiishi, sashi, tetsu getta, and other hojo undo equipment is used.
@@kinkoshinkai thanks for an informative response !
Rubbish, give karate a bad name
Garbage
Our version of Naihanchi is very close to yours, with only two slight differences. First is the movement through kosadachi. Our feet slide rather than lift and stomp. The second is the second block in the sweep check series. Ours is more of a lower out to inside block. I know the head of our system was a student of Toma Seiki so there is a lot of Seidokan in our kata and kihon.
Crap
Lack of strength and rush. It's obvious that they don't train to compete, but doing such kata for 1st kyu grading should be a fail. It shouldn't be only about knowing the moves, especially with such a short kata. If the video was uploaded to promote the club it's not the best choice.
Excellent video.....Naihanchi kata is probably the most standardized kata across systems. Great job! :)
Thank you very much!
Nice video. As a result of our discussions in Orem, we practiced Niahanchi-dachi all-direction stability and shored up this rooted stance.
Nice video. Great historical overview. Since Niahanchi is part our Seidokan system, it makes sense to do that iron shirt training there. I did not know that historically, Niahanchi was used in this way. Interesting to me. Do you believe Niahanchi to be equivalent in terms of "iron shirt" training? It makes sense, to me, in some ways, but I do not understand how it could be as good as Sanchin, since the legs are spread in Nihanchi, where in Sanchin dachi, they contribute to the lower-body portion of the protection. One of the drills I incorporate into Sanchin is the centerline stepping, while checking the stance though movement. The 'squeeze-extend' stepping is prominent in Sanchin, which is important when moving. Can you comment?
The iron shirt component is accomplished by "shime" or impact training. The only difference is the opponent is at a 45° instead of directly in front. That's the misunderstanding of the groin vulnerability. At a 45° angle, horse stance protects just as well as Sanchin from he front, PLUS the foot sweeping and cross stepping address this.
Makes sense. Thanks. I will play with that in class
Another great video, a little bit faster paced as well. I enjoy the faster pace as it represents real life situations. Also, congratulations Max on getting your black belt. I'd like to see this page post a video with Max speaking about his journey and how far he has come since white belt.
That's a good suggestion!

The x block is good, i actually use in in real time speed sparring, nicely done, well executed video.👌🥷
Those who know, know. When Fumio Demura does a 2 hour seminar on it, including the techniques I teach, it's time to listen. I attended it 30 years ago, but still valid.

Oss! The last example of the The heian godan technique was excellent ❤ it makes alot of sense and is very practical. Oss! 🥋
Oss! 🥋 The hitting away of the hand from a grab (which is example 2) using down block is not a good way for we have learned to improve this idea. The 'hikite' hand is not and idel hand. When cuffed it means that it has being grabing or holding on to somthing...... No offence sensi. Thanks for your patience and time for making these videos available. Oss🥋!
Well, as stated in the video, it was used in live combat, so....
@@Utahokinawanseidokankarate... No doubt, but in a self defense position if done as show here it is putting yourself ata disadvantage or on the same par with your attacker. Oss! Other wise. Love your videos. 🥋❤️🥉🏅

@@Utahokinawanseidokankarate MMA is regulation fighting....real life is different.... You won't have time to jump in a real life situation. Oss! 🥋
@@sramdeojohn4428 MMA was only an example, and rules or no, they are really fighting! Telling someone who has actually done something that what they have actually done won't work us hubris. A simple search of street fight videos will yield results of all sorts of things working that "don't work" according to someone.
Oss! 🥋
This is great. Thank you.
Thank you!
Oss! The first move "block" is questionable.... 🥋 The hikite hand is idel or no explanation was given for the hikite hand. In any application both hands must have an explanation. Every kata starts with an attack or strke/joint lock etc... defence against an opponent... Never a 'block' 🥋✌️
Thank you for your input. I don't disagree and you're not wrong, but I've made clear in the past several points. a - we weren't there when the kata were created. b - the hikite IS active depending on the application level you choose, (Notice at 7:15 the hikite used pulling on the elbow) usually starting at the "ura" level. I've explained in several earlier videos the paradigm - omote/ura/henka/sutemi, or ge/chu/jo, if you like. c - I have, in earlier videos, made clear that there are many levels of possible interpretation, and the words "always" or "never" are dangerously closed ways to see things. d - In Okinawan karate, there is no "oss". 😉 (Not a criticism, but a lighthearted observation.) e - most of the applications I show publicly are "omote", or simple obvious, with only hints at deeper or "truer" meanings. Note at the 3 minute, I definitively say "basic". d - contrary to the contemporary belief of many, sometimes a block IS just a block, although the term "block" is wrong, since it SHOULD be considered a strike to the attacking limb, so... Thanks again for your feedback!
this style of karate was once the most popular karate style in Greece specially in 80s. although is called Okinawa te tai karate do in greece its the same.
I'd be curious to know the history and lineage of that Greek version.
From what i have read Bill Zahopoulos was taught this style from former marine Les Mayo who had opened the Academy of Okinawan Karate , north of New York. Les Mayo had taught this style from Okinawa .At the beginning of 70s Bill came back to Greece where he opened his first dojo. After that and until the end of 80s hε had opened over 100 karate schools all over the country. Bill had said that is Shian Toma and Uehara Seikichi his grandmasters. th-cam.com/video/wwhd_ttPdX8/w-d-xo.html@@Utahokinawanseidokankarate
I was hoping to go back a bit further to the okinawan source. At first glance, we are quite different, but as we are both from Okinawa, I will research the origins.
@@Utahokinawanseidokankarate also he combined katas from uechi ryu and tai nui kung fu
Thank you for showing the crossblock/choke option without the Gi. Very promising. Max is also a very good performer as well, and I'm excited to see him get his blackbelt in the future.... in other news, I just received my first stripe on my brown belt. #imeatingacustard #cheezeits #cinderblocks #valuableinformationasalways #brownbelt #turningtheleaf
Congratulations!
Valuable info as always
Thank you. Just doing my bit and sharing some ideas.
Please could you explain also the usage in the other "blocks"? With soto and age uke is easier to understand, in all the styles are almost the same but the rest have a lot of difference between styles, and I usually can't find specific tutorials for Seidokan or at least shorin and motobu ryu, 90% of the karate explanations are for shotokan
I will try to make a video in the next couple of weeks to address this, as well as your bunkai question on Seisan.
@@Utahokinawanseidokankarate thanks
Please could you do a video about the bunkai? I don't understand the meaning on 4:51 and 5:44
How would you approach if there isn't a cuff to hold onto? For example, if they had shorts. When you do the flip, do you grab on the knee? Just curious because I live in a very warm environment. By the way, great performance out of you in this video. #brownbelt #funnel #custard
That's one of the reasons I showed the various options. The pants waist or belt position would work for shorts. The groin lift while pushing down the head always works.
Cup check Sir
Yeah. It's necessary with the lower ranks. At the upper level, either they have it or they don't, and, well, come what may! 🙂
I was just showing this kata by Sensei Caggiano yesterday so thank you so much as always for providing me a reference to help me learn the basic movements and then on my refinement on my own time!
Glad it was helpful! That's exactly why I do these!
