Q & A - 1. Best style of karate? 2. What makes Goju Goju? 3. Sanchin and Tensho kata are the foundation? 4. How do you breakdown kata for application? 5. How are kata created? 6. How do you develop bunkai for self-defence? 7. What Goju tradition are we learning?
Always good to watch you. I wish my school would practise more Bunkai.
Thanks. I hope you have a chance to practice your bunkai too.
looks a nice seminar
It was thanks.
gran trabajo como siempre Sensei Enfield
Thank you Paco Sensei. I hope you are well. We would love to visit Spain again soon to see you.
Goju in heart always. I just want to bring up a particular point. Bunkai is GREAT. But. If you do not practice this over and over, and then bring it into practice fighting, you can forget ever using it in reality. I am not saying it does not work. I am saying if you get shown this once... dont think it will work in a real situation where you just practiced it once.
So... (Correct me if I am wrong)
If you find a move you like, practice it. Then practice it in practice fighting. See if you can setup the person for the move. Blocking and moving back is easy... waiting for him to (use his right arm for instance) and THEN using it.
Most definitely. I would say you're correct, 'knowing' something isn't the same as being skilled at it. There are a number of steps to developing the ability to use any technique adequately: 1. learn the mechanics of the technique, 2. Drill the technique solo and with a compliant partner, 3. Introduce drills with some level of spontaneity, 4. Up the resistance from your training partner, 5. Use in free exercise.
@@GKCgoju This does not come out of a kata, but my own experience I had in a competition.
We were training stepping forward into Kiba dachi, Soto Uke, Uraken.
So in the competition fight I dodged and blocked, waiting for his right hand punch. When he did... all hell broke loose. :p
I stepped Kiba dachi as if I am going past him, Soto uke (Shot his punch way to the otherside leaving his face open and BAM Uraken connected with no effort or anything to defend himself from it.
This is where I saw these things work. 95% of all competition and fights end up in normal strikes and kicks. Nothing else of karate. But I saw it CAN really work and work WELL.
Yes, an experience like that is the best teacher.
Will it be possible to see sparring ?
There are plenty of channels that focus on sparring. Our focus in typically kata analysis. Does that answer your question? Thanks for commenting.
karate is for self defense, not fighting
@@Supermomo2007 But, self defense is often real fighting.
Usually, I watch all clips in 1.25-1.5x speed. But yours in 0.75-0.5x. Because they have so much inside (and you're teasing all poor viewers here, of course). :)
Thanks for watching.
Hey sensei do you know anybody who practices the indigenous okinawan martial art of tii or te
Jan Dam Sensei in Denmark.
Qual a linhagem de Goju Ryu???
Jundokan - Miyazato Eiichi Sensei. Does that answer your question?
This is almost kung fu. Tai chi pushing, wing chun trapping, chin na, circular blocks and finger strikes. Absolutely nothing japanese about it
Yes, you’ve just succinctly described okinawan karate. Thanks.
You thought Goju Ryu was Japanese? 😳
Ryu Ryu Ko taught Kanro Higaonna whooping crane Kung Fu in Fujian in mid/late 1800s. RRK was a whooping crane crane master. Where's the surprise? Goku IS a modified form of white crane. Nothing Japanese about its source, or the advanced levels of it.
Shorin Ryu and Goju Ryu are the two closest styles of karate to king-fu. They come directly from it. So they will be similar, with a few twists.
@@timothymarshall2365 Uechi as well 🙂
seems like kungfu
Yes, so many similarities. The tv show Kung Fu is one of my favorite tv shows of all time so I'm very happy to hear this.
Goju has a lot of kungfu in it. Crane if I think quickly. Goju meaning hard and soft. Shotokan is much more linear. Goju loves to do body conditioning and close fighting. When you look at a seminar of the highest goju sensei's, most is breaking. Breaking bones etc. With other words... taking down the attacker as fast as possible also with the idea of the person not entering into the fight again.
@@mizmera Yes, techniques from the kata are designed to control the opponent quickly and not box or kickbox. Thank you for your comment.
how very kung fu!
vwey?
Yes, so many similarities between Chinese and Okinawan martial arts.
This is not real content, but advertising. An unfortunate misuse of the medium by an impressive practitioner. I hope you go back to providing some real value to your viewers with a longer complete sample… not the whole thing obviously but not these shards. Peace.
First, let me say that I appreciate your perspective and your honesty in expressing your view of this video. It is indeed advertising - or an announcement of a new video opportunity to purchase if you like. In fact we are currently offering the complete video (3 hours of content) for free with purchase of the May 2023 UK seminar video - gkcglobalshop.com/products/gkcglobal-seminar-staines-uk-may-2023 - that's four hours of content for under US$40 !!
Bear in mind that participants paid a significant sum to attend these events, so while we do provide a plethora of free content, that I hope you enjoy, it's the paid content that contains all the details at length, and as such would not be fair to give it away for free. It's also worth noting that the full videos require hours of editing time to produce, and as full time professionals we do require compensation for our work. If you are interested in our work I recommend purchasing the full videos - you will be in good company among the thousands of practitioners (many very senior) from around the world who continue to do so - you won't be disappointed.
While this video is indeed short, as one of the other commenters mentioned, a lot can be gleaned from its study.
