This is a very rare video prepared for the 50th Anniversary of the Keio University Karate Club's founding (placing it around 1974 - two years before Mr. Obata's passing) by the club's alumni association.
Isao Obata was a direct student of Shotokan founder Gichin Funakoshi and a founder of the Japan Karate Association (JKA).
Master Obata was Master Kazumi Tabata's teacher. This film was found among Master Tabata's personal effects after his passing.
[Special thanks to Stuart Chassen for the video, and to the original video makers who had the foresight to create what would become a document of historic importance.]
This is Part 1 of 2. The second part contains kobudo and several advanced kata. Here is the link to Part 2: • RARE HISTORIC Shotokan...
The performances are (Kata Name/Performer/Graduating Class):

Great film. Very nostalgic for me as I trained at Keio Dai!
This is wonderful!! Thank you!!
Fascinating stuff. Thanks for posting these videos. Some really interesting variations that will give me much to think about.
These Kata have the look of something much older akin to pre WWII and a hint of the ShotoKai styling or even KenKoJuku.
His kata is amazing and he uses koshi y all movements very different to kata of competition..
This is why I started Shotokan in 84. Systematic Structure and movement. You add the freedom of Kung Fu to the Static Power of Shotokan. You create a Whip like Ball and Chin of Steel.
Really cool to see kata hasn’t changed much.
Fantastic video
When i now started karate my sensi engraved these thoughts into us:
"A fight should end as soon as possible. "
"One hit, one technique or one opportunity is all you got in a life and death situation."
"We train so we intend to live."
"Our intentions, defend yourself as effective as possible."
"Karate was not meant for show man ship or showing off. Its a way of life. The weapons are our body, the hands, the feet, the head, the fingers, the toes, the shoulders are for offensive use and defence purposes. We train to be mentally sound, physically fit and ready to respond to our present situations that may deem a danger to our wellbeing."
this is so beautifully said. Nothing left to comment on.

Outstanding footage! Would it be possible for you to upload the second part you mentioned, including additional advanced kata and kobudo? I'm really interested and I bet I'm not the only one! Thank you!
We will for sure be posting that. Just need to do some translating. Stay tuned...
@@nackc yes, please. That'd be great. We're really looking forward to it in my club. Let me know if we can help. Many thanks.
@@nackc I really appreciate your kindness. Thank you very much again!!!
I completely agree. It will be very interesting
OK, folks. Part 2 is up. th-cam.com/video/fS95cXvQ72o/w-d-xo.html
Gracias a caballeros como ellos, gracias a sus esfuerzos y perseverancias, hoy estamos donde estamos. Gracias. Oss.
Not much has changed. Nice to see that it’s as pure as it was then. I’m doing Tekki Sandan for the month. 😂😂😂😂Very confusing. Got 1 and 2 down. But still working on 3. This is so awesome.
To Shoto Juku: I thought the same, some of the moves and rhythms appears very similar to the (old) Kenkojuku style. Nice to see this old footage and be able to have a connection with these practitioners... almost knowing what they were feeling at the moment....
Amazing! Thank you very much! Could you give your contacts?
Thank you. You can contact Greg at greg@nackc.us
Excelente documento histórico de la jka, gracias
Not JKA, Keio University. :)
Quite interesting.
Wow!
Molto interessante
There are more throws, arm locks, etc in
these katas.
❤❤❤
To the people who said shotokan is only competition maybe needs to see this!
I ripped my hamstring twice over the years doing Kangku Dai. Especially the last Maegeri.
Ouch!
is there no footage of the heians from that time?
Not that we have, no. Sorry.
@@nackc it's okay, hope I can find it one day
Oss shihan

This is the real shit right hear.
Actually, while they were proficient in their era, and masters in their own rights, Karate has changed and advanced. Consider, sports science, nutrition, general health and wellness among the masses is better. Think football, do we play better now than 50 years ago? Of course we do. Body structures are different, and technique is scientifically applied. The same can be said for Karate. And no, I am not saying Karate is purely a sport.
Hi; a punch to a plane or point or mae geri of an older Karate Master like Higaonna Sensei; Sadaharu Sensei; Kiyohide Sensei; Taira Sensei; and many older and newer than they is in my opinion stronger and "lethal" for self defense than a cardiovascular trained sport guy. Karate is completely diluted in 75% of the cases right now
@@TheReverb1 you are afraid of progress Gigo Funakoshi Nakayama and Kanazawa have made shto kan what it is today we have evolved for the better!
@@brucelevine6517 I am not afraid; I am part of it but is not evolved for better; evolved for sports. Karate is Budo; sports and recreational oriented activity. I aim for the first way.
@@brucelevine6517 Nope. They went the wrong way. Style (over substance) and sport are a bad choice.
Most people here are afraid of evolution. And don t know history of karate…
Funakoshi, Gigo, nakayama and other made evolution… like Itosu before them.
And for a Hundred years we ear the same : that a not true karate, that s not tradition!😂
If one would be good at self defense, i suggest train shotgun
теперь я понимаю почему каратистов все бьют
*Nothing that's been uploaded onto TH-cam or the internet is "rare" anymore. Try to think a little!*
These forms would never save u in a real fight with take downs sorry
Baloney. 70 % of the moves in those classic katas involve grappling. Beginners only see kick, 'block', punch. Look harder. Note there are wrist locks, arms bars,
throws, holds, stomps, chokes, and gouges.
@@bradlong7941 You are sooo right!
