- ADEYTO talks to the most dangerous man in Japan, MORIO HIGAONNA 東恩納 盛男, 3rd generation Founder of Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate.
Morio Higaonna born December 25, 1938 is a prominent Okinawan karate practitioner who is the founder and Chief Instructor of the International Okinawan Goju-ryu Karate-do Federation (IOGKF). He is a holder of the highest rank in Goju-ryu karate, 10th dan.
Higaonna has written several books on Goju-ryu karate, including Traditional Karate-do: Okinawa Goju Ryu (1985) and The history of Karate: Okinawan Goju Ryu (2001). Martial arts scholar Donn Draeger (1922--1982) reportedly once described him as "the most dangerous man in Japan in a real fight.

Fantastic kata displayed here !! I have been a practitioner of GoJu-Ryu for 45 yrs. now and i have NEVER seen a master with such POWER in his sanchin !! Master Higaonna is a beautiful man.I loved how he described the importance of kata and being rooted as a tree.I learned that at 5 yrs. old i am 50 now.....MUCH RESPECT HERE !!
I do gojo ryu and I'm a green belt+1. This is really amazing. I'm 14 btw
I never met him.
Everybody told me he is very strong !!!!
I'm black belt goju ryu karaté morio HIGAONNA school.
My sensei was Daniel PONDE.
goddamn just watching him do those moves are scary enough you can see the strength and power coming outta those blocks and punches. this man is a straight up killer
you see the samurai armor in the background? those were his enemies's carcasses
Higaonna sensei is fantastic. I could listen to him for hours!
You have to stand directly across from this legendary practitioner to truly appreciate the absolute power and chi that he demonstrates as I did way back in 1998 in Fort Smith, Arkansas when he tested and awarded me the rank of Sandan an experience which I will never forget, Osu Master Higaonna … Mike Iglesias, Orlando, FL
This was a wonderful interview and display of traditional karate by Sensei Morio Higaonna. Many thanks and greetings to all budo practitioners across the globe.
Anyone see his knuckles? Looks like he has been punching the side of a mountain. Never seen knuckles that messed up.
Looking at his hands, he could kill bears.
I love this master! Goju ryun I started at 9 years old. I began boxing at 5, kung fu at 12, bjj at 16, keysi at 29, and bushido. Karate really has not only helped me in combat, but life. Thanks to person posting this video. OSS!
After Mr. Miyagi trained Morio Higaonna he came to america to train Daniel-san in Kirate Kid... great legacy 👏🏾
Great Channel! Thank you for the subtitles! Higaonna Sensei is a great role model for all of us!
My Sensei trained under Morio Higaonna, so it is fascinating to watch these videos. Thanks!
It's profound - what he said, relating Kata to trees. The older generations learned Karate purely from Kata and traditional drills, and thus were able to get everything out of Karate. Nowadays with the advent of sports karate and increasing public life outside of karate, it's focused on the bare minimum, only on what's 'practical' in terms of scoring pts and maybe street defense. You just don't get the same kind of consciousness as the older masters.
I agree. He really made an impression on me with Katas and winning against yourself. I practiced matsubayashi for a few years but I'm a full time musician. Practicing scales and inversion are parallel to katas in the art of music and it's all about winning against yourself. Playing with a band (sparring) is easy. I'll never forget that
Also, it's not about what is just "practical" because some of the most practical moves are the hardest to execute and require the most practice sadly people now a days want what is easy and not effective. Real traditional karate is one of the most effective martial arts but people don't practice like the way people used to. (for example: Choki Motobu would practice naihanchi 500 times a day and fight other people). even to someone who practiced that much a day, someone like sokon matsumura was the best (choki motobu says so) which to me says something about the people of the warrior class who took martial arts seriously and was their entire life. not something you will see now a days.
am no martial artist,i did try shotokan karate and tae kwon do as a teen (am 39 now). would like to take up a martial art again someday.i suffer with depression and know that starting a martial art again would help me very much (both in fitness and spirituality,which i need to find both).
grandmaster morio came across as a true martial artist.watching him perform the kata was amazing to watch the power and control he was showing,BUT most of all he comes across as a genuine humble/modest man.
i wish him peace and good luck and to you all too :-)
p.s i got graded by master ohta for my shotokan orange belt waay back in the 90's at trowbridge sports hall uk (was the only belt i did unfortunately).also bought a bruce lee poster before the grading (well cool ;-) peace.
I too suffer from depression and I can say that training in karate helps very much. It's never too late to take it up again friend :-)
Go on, fucker! I have a partner right now over his 45's and now 3 degree on Capoeira... he changed his whole life to the art, now his son, sisters and more family are changing into a better lifestyle through martial arts... c'mon you still can do a lot about it, don't feel bad and absolutely not let the system consume you ;)
I trained upto nidan (2nd dan) gojuryu in my 30s and of the many sports I have done that was without doubt the best, for fitness, agility, mobility and discipline. If anyone had suggested I could reach dan grade when I began I would have said they were out of their mind. But I enjoyed the training, and just kept at it. After I stopped (due to serious head injury - car accident) I never got it out of my mind and began training again within the last year.
I am 68. I love it. Go for it. Don't expect anything - just train. It will come, slowly.
i want to try karate or taekwondo soon! I think it would be good for self esteem i suffer in that area (low self esteem).
The level of restraint on the exertion of power in this kata is so intense and masterful, I can almost feel it's force and weight by only looking at it.
I am practicing karate 8 years ... He is empowered person much than 99 % of karate practiciants ... he can kill someone with simple backfist in head ...
have you seen his hands and knuckles ? i don't know man but that hands seems like it has knock a house down once.
anyway, what style do you practice ?
Yes bro i saw it at first :) well, you ate right , he almost literally can break it :)
I am practicioner of "Vado Ryu"
looking at his fist give me Thrill
Yep
Higaonna Sensei...
He always smile and looks kind for a man who had title most dangerous man in Japan...
Wish I could train with him Sometimes
His Physical appearance resembles to a tiger. Strength, smoothness & power can be felt. Great work Shihan. Keep up.
thank you for sharing this cultural treasure!
this is pure karate awesome
Great respect to a great man!Pity about the petty "my dad is stronger than your dad" attitude displayed by some of the comments below.
Unbelievable indeed! I was fortunate to attend a gasshuku.
Ah! Thanks so much for posting this great vid! It really made my day!
Don't compare styles to find the "best". Do only so in order to learn. Many people have many reasons to practise martial arts. I do simply so because i enjoy them nothing more and nothing less than that.I like learning techniques myself and teaching is, simply, my passion in life. And i could not care less wich is the "better". In the end martial arts and even pure self defence systems (not the same) are PRIMAIRELY the cultevation of a certain mindset. Respect and keeping an OPEN mind are just two of the principals i believe are central to any art. teh wholw comparisson thing is useless in that sence. We should not vieuw the different styl's as ''opponents" buat as ''friends".
True man! Golden words!
I couldn't help looking at the -quite possibly- authentic and historic samurai gear in the back. Would kill to get my hands on one of them. Adeyto, thank you for sharing these videos!
The interview portion is my favorite. In the suit dai-sensei looks like a kindly grandfather. When the gi is on its business time!
Shotokan karate-Do:
Karate began in Okinawa, derived from the art Tode or Te (meaning hand).
Legend has it that in the reign of 1429 a decree was issued prohibiting the practice of martial arts, as later the Satsuma clan of Kagoshima in 1609 prohibited the carrying of arms. Thus, Tode became a last resort of self-defense, practiced in absolute secrecy. It was not until 1905 that karate became an official discipline in physical education. It was transformed into content and techniques of Okinawa and called Karate-Do by the master Gichin Funakoshi in 1929.
Japan’s increased popularity of self-defense in the 1920s and 1930s helped modernize karate. In order to improve the understanding of terms by athletes, Master Funakoshi also changed them. In turn, there was only the practice of katas, so the master divided the practice into three types: fundamentals (Kihon), Kata and Kumite. Kumite being especially appreciated by young students.
In 1957, the first Karate-Do championship was held (of all Japan), promoting the Japanese Karate Association (JKA).
From Karate several styles have been created. The World Federation of Karate (WKF); recognizes the following styles:
Shotokan-Ryu;
Shito-Ryu;
Goju-Ryu;
Wado-Ryu.
The World Union of Karate-Do Federations (WUKF);
recognizes the following styles:
Shotokan-Ryu;
Shito-Ryu;
Goju-Ryu;
Wado-Ryu;
Shorin-Ryu;
Uechi-Ryu;
Kyokushinkai;
Budokan;
Shotokai;
"The ultimate goal of Shotokan Karate-Do is not to win or defeat, but to improve the character of its participants."
The technical repertoire of the Shotokan style was based on that of the Shorin-Ryu...

You can feel the power. Thank's!
Was the camera shaking just for effect? Or what was that?
Real karate power. Only that!
That's one bad ass old dude right there!
Man I miss goju-ryu, I miss the classroom. I still do the very basic kata every morning. But I miss the strength this gave me.
i started learning martial art so i could protect someone very special to me.
why would i get my head caved in every day from MMA if i love someone.
I started martial art because I love someone. trust me, i already became strong.
That was a nice read.
The real Man of Steel !!
Finally a demo that isn't about the hard body demonstration.
I especially appreciate the philosophy on kata. Having trained in Goju Ryu (Shodan) and now in Shorin Matsubyashi Ryu (Yon Dan) I can see the similarities in philosophy.
This armor collection is soooo cool!
Thanks for share this video copilations.! :)
respect 70 years old. I would be happy to do this when i´m 50
happy belated birthday sensei higaonna
I watch this everyday before I workout.
In the kata Supaempi it's interesting how his left tsuki waza turns earlier than his right punch twist.
I have a lot in common with this Master Sensei.... I too have had a motorcycle crash -_-
LOL! oh boy that was pure comedy! haha nice humor man!
Mach'allah very technical master i love so much Morio higaonna
Awesome Sensei!
I'd love to train in a room with all that samurai armour. What an inspiration that would be!
Is he saying that he injured his knees from throwing kicks or from taking kicks to the knee?... Does anyone know...
Grande Mestre verdadeiro OKINAWAN GOJU-RYU: OSS.
when this guy trains he makes the ground quake.
your hand Sir ... it's the ATOMIC BOMB syndrome it hope I'm wrong ... you always wear a happy smiles ... thank you
You people commenting are sad! Saying one style is the end all be all is like saying we are all the same person or we all have the same blood type..... Master Higaonna found what works best with him and his body and that is goju ryu! Everyone is not going to do the same thing. Just because his way is karate doesn't mean it is mine or the next persons, Just because bruce lee was a master of jeet kune do doesn't mean it'll automatically make me a badass and instantly be awesome! It's about knowing yourself and what works with your body, mind , and spirit. There is so much more to martial arts than just the physical and how many guys you can take down.. I know we all want to be physically strong and be able to beat anyone we end up having to fight trust me I am the same way and I want to be strong but in order to master anything at all in this world you must first know yourself! Can't make it too far in anything unless you know yourself... Stop the bickering!
Hail to the KING!
But its fun. Same thing for racing, the olympics, any major sport its entertainment, its self betterment (for those who participate) its a spice of life, its a hobby its not pointless. The competitions aren't pissing contests they are about self betterment
Looks like excellent karate really!!!
OOSSS!!!! muito bom!! viva a arte de treinar Karatê
this actually looks cool in movies
He fell off hard on his motorbike but left as soon as the doctor came lol
You DO NOT mess with guys like this: they destroy entire villages with a single glance. OSSU!
I wonder if Hagaonna sensei started training @ tools like Makiwara or Chiishin from his very beginning of Karate studying.
Can someone tell me ?
Cuz I heard something like
"You should practice a couple of years, before using esp. impact-tools"
Thanks,
and OSU
@cbacchus Who cares about who would win or who would lose? This man is doing something that he has a passion for, same goes for those UFC fighters that you and over half the country worship and swear by. Not every encounter is gaurunteed to turn out the way you think it will, and it would be wise not to underestimate anyone, regardless of their appearance or assumed limited capabilites.
He looks like he’s constantly smiling
These guys look like bone breakers. The way they train and move
No budismo, o termo Karma refere-se às nossas intenções, que podem ser boas, más ou neutras. Boas intenções geram bons frutos, más intenções geram maus frutos. E é a intenção nossa de continuar a existir que nos levaria, após a nossa morte, a reencarnarmos em outros corpos. Considera-se que, ao gerar carma, os seres ficam presos ao ciclo de reencarnações (samsara) e que a última meta da prática budista é extinguir o carma e, desse modo, libertar-se do ciclo de renascimentos...

- Shotokan karate-Do...
His fists are no joke!
очень интересное видео
of course! I'm sure he came to Tokyo by plane!
Hello i would like to ask if usa goju ryu is as great as the original goju ryu.
Tray Keller Not even in the same league. USA Goju to me isn't goju ryu. Too many changes have been made, and not for the better.
Do you understand the term "You're only as strong as your weakest link"? It's pretty evident in the first UFCs. The best mma fighters are level higher than "jacks" in several disciplines. All the mma champions are black belts or higher ranking in wrestling, striking and grappling. GSP for instance is a 3rd dan black belt in Kyokushin kaikan,1st-degree Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Gracie Barra Montreal, Black belt in Gaidojutsu, Black belt in Shidokan.
the same response that everyone ever gets when MMA fanboys think they're right. the only thing you know its "SPORT" karate. not REAL karate, a Real martial artist would kill your best MMA brawler in the cage, just because they had their life training every technique to exhaust themselves. There are some techniques that are exclusive for Killing the oponent in one single blow. like a punch in the throat.

I just read all of the comments, and didn't see anyone mention the fact that he has six toes on each foot. Wonder if that helps.
+John Wanamaker Maybe because he hasn't six toes on each foot
+Augustin Decroix (DrGus) Either that is an extra toe, or the world's largest callus on the outside of his foot.
these type of men won't be allowed inside mma .....for obvious reasons other than wat ur thinking....
+Razzle Dazzle You cannot put them into competitions. Honestly, they wouldn't do it anyways these men are not entertainers.
+Matt X exactly, these men are humble and wouldn't fight for sport. It would make them strip away from their practices as martial artists.
Because they wpuld get demolish?
A master of one discipline is a novice in another, so you are correct he wouldn't recognize what to do and it would be beaten fairly quickly.
They did, once.
I wonder what would happen if he fought mcgregor.
大师就是大师
5:47 dat power!
I want one of those suits of armor
karate is for a thing only, to fight.
that is good
so much money in armor in the background
1:38 I shit my pants when I saw those knuckles..!!
His knuckles...
I don't think so. Most mma fighters are just browlers with no technique. All the time I watch mma I get frustrated by the lack of techique, wrong positions, bad leg technique, bad close combat etc, with some exceptions like GSP.
katas were formed in a way to teach karate, years ago they we're not aloud to teach the art so had to develop ways of teaching without documentation. katas are formed to coincide with endless bunkai, repetitive training develops feeling, structure and technique, every body has their opinion on different martial arts. the difference is in traditional styles (not sports) such as goju ryu you train so you don't need to fight, you train to damage, and kill with minimal fuss. Doing 6 x 3 minute rounds is not what it's about. destroying your opponent in a couple of moves is.... unfortunately mma has rules. karate doesn't.
I do mma and mma is not a martial art if some one asks a mma fighter what they study they dont say MMA lol ?? what would that even mean? I study boxing and jujitsu and work with wrestlers, and the guys who pratice those arts specifically would beat my ass no problem in there martial art if we fought with there rules i know boxers who could knock me out 15 seconds with out breaking a sweat if i met them in the ring so what does a mma fighter prove by saying in the cage i would destroy you ?? uhh ok so you can win in your sport that you train for specificly? give me a break these karate guys are awesome and in there sport would destroy mma fighters and the argument about who would win in a street fight? what mma fighter is walking around picking fights with ppl in the streets or a karate master ?? u know who wins in a street fight the guy with the gun every time unless mma fighters learn to catch bullets with there teeth as a mma fighter you should show respect to all martial arts and the ppl who study them because we copy there arts to make us better at mma. sorry grammer is awful gg bros
min 1:36 ..... look those hands !!!! hardcore training
I don't know what you think I said but I''l repeat it in a much simpler way. Comparing karate and MMA is a waste of time. The two disciplines could not be any more different.
Oss!
namo buddhay🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
His hands look like they're made of stone.
This is a man of respect people, so stop with the silly ufc comparisons, but unfortunately that's what the Ipod generation goes for first instead at respecting a man who is at the top of his craft , very knowledgeable about health , martial arts and probably knows a lot of shit .
ワンダフル！
OSS!!!
No doubt MMA fighters are tough.You do however, need to understand that the martial arts passed to the western world are not what thay are in Okinawa / Japan. Everything you see is not so.The gekesai kata were really to pacify curiousity of the western world. No blocks here, everything is designed to destroy.Over here, we merely play! (Sensei Terauchi!). Campfire regards to Sensei Coleman.
I hate their demonstration because they are striking to the side to help each other block. I started at a dojo last week and the black belt was doing the same thing to me during kumite. I told him to stop because I actually wanted to learn a thing or two...
Karate is a bit angular and telegraphed for my taste.
my girlfriend trained karate,
came to blue best
and 29-1 in battles
+ssrider7 you have a badass girlfriend
+ToxicTV thank you man.
lol she can be pretty badass yeah.
your girlfriend is stronger than you so If you cheat on her, you will get your ass beat up lol.
+King of Darkness hehe shes pretty tough.I also trained boxing years ago.
when she gets nervous to the top she can be pretty violent...like in march she gave me black eye when i was doing some shit in drunk state,lol!
ssrider7 That's why you should never date a Karate girl Lol. Jk.
TSR
The real BUDO KARATE....OSS.
The man looks like he has hands that belong on a bear!
