I had the Honour to train with Hironori Ōtsuka, when I studied Wado for many years, Wado was a combination of Karate and Jujitsu created by him. he also sign my copy of Suzukis book along with Suzuki himself and other great instructors of the day, Wakemei, Maeda, Kobayashi etc.
There are many styles of karate but the wado ryu karate has something very special, I am very proud to be a student of following the teachings of the Grand Master Hironori Otzuka (legend of Japanese karate), Tatzuo Suzuki his oldest disciple (the direct teaching of Hironori Otzuka) and Fukazawa (the best in kata I've ever seen), the great legends of wado ryu.🥋⛩🙇♂
Yes, this is an old man, Hironori Ōtsuka. To those who do not know who he was and what he is demonstrating right here, I´d like to point out that you are honoured to watch the Founder of Wado-Ryu-Karate-do demonstrating his Wado-Ryu-Karate. Congratulations, you have entered a time tunnel. He was born 1892 and began studying Karate in 1922 under Gichin Funakoshi, who is known as the founder of modern Karate and creator of the Shotokan-Karate-do. Well, you are touching the roots of traditional Karate right here. Maybe those who feel uncomtortable or those who show some flame here, might think about it. Anyone who makes the decision to study Karate will go through defined basic forms of idealised Kumite, which might be unspectacular. It takes some time, but the Karateka will step up while developing physically, technically and mentally. This is the deepest root of the Wado-Tree. It derives from Shotokan and Ju-Jutsu and was defined by Hironori Ōtsuka, when he founded his own Dojo, from 1934 on, and developed Wado-Ryu. I feel lucky to have studied both, Shotokan and Wado-Ryu (R.I.P. Teruo Kono).
@@poopgame5732 I don' t mind reading some flame. You are obviously not seriously interested and probably have never studied traditional Karate-Do. That is okay with me as long as you stay on your way through never ending foggy darkness of lacking knowledge and character.
@@poopgame5732 Im doing the same too man. Just started today so trying to get a better understanding of how Wado looks first hand from the man himself. Beautiful art. Beautiful form.
I can't, the movement is soo smooth! like it's not even sharp, but you can feel the power in it! I don't want to be philosophical but I can't describe this as anything more than, water. It looks like it has a lot of force in it but it isn't sharp it's almost calming and smooth like water. Just the technique alone with sharp and powerful movement like the black belt in my dojo isn't mastery, this is. Wow, just wow.
Suzuki used to come to Sliedrecht (Holland) 'cause he had some kind of relationship with my teacher Teun Tromp. I've had the privilege to attend some training sessions and speak to him. Great karateka! This was about 20 years ago. Also I met and trained with Naoki Ishikawa... May he rest in peace. Man, those were great times!
I hate people that say "Karate sucks lolz" or whatever without even attempting it. Not every style is for everyone, some people find certain styles better depending on their surroundings, location and personal likes and dislikes. But if you have never trained in Karate you can only look at the physical aspects of it, not the mental or spiritual aspects that others may enjoy. No one should enjoy or even like a little every martial art style, but no one should ever judge a style either, they all have their benefits and drawbacks.
At least karate employs weapons in it's curriculum ...which would be more useful to a person on the streets than grapalling on the ground. One could incorporate many uses using concealed weapons in everyday objects to their advantage in real life situations....
i have never really believed in styles that much, I've done wado ryu since i was in high school and since then I've practised wing chun and jiu jitsu a bit. and i found that styles give you techniques and how to execute them, but when it comes down to it the person who has learned the technique needs to know to make it work in a fight. i came second in a karate tournament the other day, last guy cheated but anyway, it was the visualisation and concentration before and during the fight that got me as far as i did. when you focus properly you instinctively use whatever techniques you know to fit whatever situation you're in. and if it doesn't work the first time make it work the second and so on
for example i fought a second dan wado ryu black belt who also had a black belt in lou gar. his guard was very difficult to get around at first, but as soon as i closed the gap i used a wing chun technique to move his arm just for a split second.
You're right in the sense that it takes the person to make a technique work. I'd say that a martial arts/boxing/kickboxing, etc, are like tool boxes. You can have a box with all the tools in, be told and seen demonstrations on how to use them, but if you haven't actually used them yourself, then it's unlikely you'll be able to get it right first time without proper practise.
The style matters just as much as the fighter, whether you want to believe it or not. There are some styles that are more effective than others, as has been proven time and time again through competition and on the street.
From what I've read, Karate was not invented for street fighting (or for sport for that matter). The combat aspect of karate was intended for self defense, not street fighting. Meaning if someone attacked you, instead of spending 5 minutes brawling it out with them you would end it as quick as you can by using strikes to the neck, throat, joints and other sensitive areas.Karate has more aspects than just the physical aspect, there are mental and psychological aspects as well that people dont see
You can learn any martial art..but to really draw your full potential in a fight is when there is no more cause and consequences is in the mind. not afraid of pain, get arrested or even,there is no more concern of life and death even your own... some people identify this as "animal instinct"...
I'm absolutely sure wado ryu is an effective form of fighting, because, you know, blending karate with jujitsu produces a pretty complete self-defense system; and i have seen good, effective examples of this style on youtube. Still, if one were to judge wado ryu by THIS particular video, then he should conclude wado ryu is lame, a bullshit an ineffective. Giving the title "the best of wado ryu" was definetely not a good service to the style
+olly783 Not in the world, but probably a video where he was 90 years old was not the best service one could do to him. Neither one in wich he was repeating the same demonstration over and over again with only minor changes. And the title "best Wado ryu" is rebundant at best
KurtAngle89 yeah I suppose so. It probably got called that so it got sold more. And I think it's just a training demonstration of kumite gata he's doing
Olá, pessoal! Tudo bem? Fui aluno de Sensei (Sansei) Ricardo do Rio de Janeiro, que foi Campeão Brasileiro de 82. E Sensei (Sansei) Pimentel. Eu preciso que me indique aqui em João Pessoa, Paraíba. Qual é a academia de Karatê que pratica Wado-Ryu. Foi até a faixa marrom e não lembro muito, estou há 20 anos sem praticar. Quero retorna e treinar pra fazer exame de faixa preta. Hoje tem 47 anos. Você podem me ajudar?
Any Martial Art is better than no Martial Art or effective fighting form. However, saying that, I'm watching the first 15mins of this video and find it uncomfortable. I want to make it clear I'm no black belt, but I have trained in four different forms of Karate, trained in Aikido and used control and restraint techniques in real life situations. I've practised with Katana's and other various weapons and worked on combat knife techniques. Again I'm not coming at this as any expert. I think my discomfort while watching the technique is reminiscent of my own experience when I did Karate in that the situation is a fiction. By that I mean the movement is practised and learned in a submissive form within a given parameter. There is a single attack with a single response. The attacker is punching away from the target and stops when the opponent counters. This doesn't just apply to Karate, which I honestly respect, but all training I've ever been involved in. Another instance in the video is the defence/attack demonstration of avoiding a sword and countering. Given the tip of the sword is travelling extremely fast and if wielded by an expert the technique of avoiding the strike is at best slim. The flexibility to express movement and technique is only found in good sparring as unpredictability is key to learn attack and counter-attack, and it must fit with reality based scenario's where the attacker is always in motion and doesn't stop to wait for a counter but is making a 2nd or 3rd attack. My personal experience of this happened when I was part of a class being taught breakaway. The instructor didn't know me. He saw a fat out of shape old man who he asked to help him demonstrate how to break a hold. He instructed me on the type of strangle attack. I obliged. He countered and stopped. I countered back and held him on the ground in a choke, which, if I was a real aggressor, would have caused him serious injury. He admitted he didn't know how to break the choke hold and hadn't anticipated my response. He was very gracious. It was my frustration in that the techniques being taught were a lie and gave the participants a sense of security that was unjustified, which takes me back back to my observations above. Teach Martial Arts honestly. No attacker will stand still or wait for you to move. If armed, the weapon will be in motion and is likely to connect. So train attack-counter-attack-counter etc or better still don't get into a confrontation where your training is called upon. Thanks for reading.
Are you making this assertion solely based on this video or have you trained in this style? The higher up you progress the more Jujitsu it embraces and less karate. I read that they had trouble defining whether Wado Ryu was karate or Jujitsu with atemi waza. I find the JJJ elements more relevant personally for practical application though the karate aspects are great for body conditioning and fitness.
You have a right to your opinion, but it's just that- an opinion and one which isn't backed by much facts. Unless you have trained in this style, and others as contrast, you are simply making an uninformed assertion. I've trained in Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun, Goju Ryu, Kung Fu and BJJ. They all have merit. Wado Ryu, for me, is the best fit at this point of my life.

majin2912 I don't need to have gay sex to know it sucks (no pun intended). You can use logic and common sense and see that Aikido, most styles of Kung Fu after the cultural revolution, and Wado Ryu are garbage.
That turtle walk is obviously from kenjutsu, but it should really stay there. When you're both playing with 3 foot long razorblades, every inch could be life or death, and sometimes you just have to sneak a few in. In hand to hand, you can afford to jab away at someone who's just creeping around on his toes.
J.A.C'ked You obviously don't understand the full advantages of the Turtle Walk. lol I taught Wado Ryu for a few years.....studied from 1990-2002.....reached 2nd Dan (2nd Black). My Masters were David Deaton & Cecil Patterson...under Grand Masters Hironori Otsuka and his son Hironori Otsuka II, who took over after the death of his father. It doesn't matter what type of fighting you are doing. A few extra inches is still a few extra inches. It was mainly for smaller fighters. If a 5'2" person can close in the gap against a 6'9" opponent, he gets more advantage because the taller fighter has such a longer reach...I can put out 2-3 jabsand his one kick can keep me back...but, by slowly, and unnoticeably, moving closer, not only does it get my attacks within reach, but it makes it more difficult on the taller opponent. Longer arms struggle to fight up close against smaller opponents. Also, in the beginning of this video, you can see Otsuka sidestepping at a 45 degree...opposed to straight sideways..he wasn't a big man...5'5"...so, every chance he could get to be closer was taken to advantage.
Traditional karate cant be use in ufc, because that would mean using competition rules. Traditional karate is meant to disable or even kill your opponent quickly when they attack you. Most of the techniques Knife hand, ridge hand etc would not be allowed so it wouldnt really be any indication of how useful it is or its effectiveness.
This video did not show the titled "Best of Wado ryu karate" Ever so that i could say this video is probably over 15 years old. From then, Wado ryu has become a very effective state of Karate As jujitsu preforms the complete power of what you can do without offense on your side. And the karate it self is a big mash up of thousands of styles and one simple yet popular style is not the best. I train with Wado ryu but i do not take it's side on everything and it cannot control what i do with my body, But help control my body. Slowly making it stronger a smarter to the point where it is all just reaction. But I am unable to explain every bit of this style, see i'm just a kid.
those pointless, distracting arguments have been going on a lot longer than that. I remember those arguments from the early 70's and they were stale then.
You dont know what you are talking about. There's no power or damage in TKD especially, a lot of flapping around to 'tap' an opponent on the face a few times is not quite as effective as a ridge-hand to the throat, now is it?
Ahem, you mean practitioner I'm sure. Look, I know everyone thinks that because they have done one or another martial art they think they know it all, take you for example, but you're talking to a master of Muay Thai, a trainer and practitioner of Vale Tudo/Shootfighting, I train in a Gracie gym for my BJJ... Been a member of 2 boxing clubs, started martial arts at 12 for christs sake. If you're trying to put 'power' into TKD moves, you're not only doing it wrong, you'll hurt yourself.
I do not like to see pulled punches and kicks. It is especialy silly when you can toss them to the mat but can not strike them with at least medium contact or light contact. It is rather comical. All Martial Arts that perform that way are just not right. You need to demonstrate and perform techniques at varying degree's of speed and contact! Nothing against the style itself or the people involved as this is seen in many different styles of Karate. Imagine Judo or Boxing performed like this! It would be like ordering a decaf, sugar free, cream/milk free coffee or what my local barista's at Starbucks call a "why bother"! This is why so many martial artist when they truly need to use their martial arts training in life and death situations end up terrible hurt! It is also why so many I hate to use the term "traditional" martial artist can not defend themselves even against a friendly MMA challenger or high school wrestler. We see this is Kungfu, Karate, TKD etc....To be clear not talking about the opening scenes with the very old master of master's!
I think it really depends on the school. Ours is in direct lineage to Ohtsuka and we have two avenues we train- the formal which is fine for dojo but one of our instructors teaches us the street variations of these techniques. They can be minute ones but they make a difference. We also train in street clothes for those classes. Not saying any martial art of even MMA is guaranteed to make anyone a bad ass. some people are naturally better fighters than others. Traditional systems focus on self improvement so a person isn't likely to get into a fight over something stupid in the street.
I took Wa do Ryu from Toshio Osaka my high rank was blue belt 10 yrs later I got sucker into a Hawaii vacatio package, soon after received word nobody can make it off the islands natives closed in on tourist with tazers, stun guns and pinapple knives slashing rib cages of the prettiest woman you eber laid eyes on. I pulled over the head cannibol said hey why don't we make this a new Hawaiian punch game you how , any of mine and me how many of yours the one with biggest stink pile wins everything ancient Hawaiian no gun me punch & kick tell send your errand boy the message I come to each island I cheat no one everyone has a chance to kill me on my vacation. The message runner disappeared over the hill I said the Hwaiian Punch tornment know begins, push 3 natives against th wall kill all 3 with 1 punch counted out loud 3 then push 2 more up punch counted first hour 1800 then down the hill to 2000 more. On 1 island I fought for 4 days 3 nights only 2 breaks one 7 minute the other 12 minutes documented kill 60,000 total fist and kick 80 plus an additional 40,000 by airwolfing total points 120,000 and I was also blood crown Malta King is that kool or not? And o yes tjere was a punch trade aan Osaka Punch for an Obama Punch!
I may not be legend in karate but I am profit prophesized by Hirohito at the surrender ship cameras catch him speaking to one of his diplomats says, something like, One day a Blue Belt with blue eyes will come to the land of where it all began with a dove in his hand and revenge to the number of Hiroshima (140,000) solo, name Gibson, he says twice, and he well punish the world with a Frankenstein monster (Zoobama). Well, the shit always comes down to me I did not plan it but I took my Zoowaii Vacation one thing lead to another a Punch Festival I invited myself to all their islands everyone gets a chance to kill me I cheat no one send your messenger runner boy tell all them, soon as he over the hill the punch fest begins ... well during the the punch fest ran out of katas which I never like doing at the dojo began asking my sins say out loud Osaka, Osaka ... what should I do there's to much repetition they might lay me up I had to do new movements and if I'm wrong I'll die! Well, some upper up don't know if he was chief he stop the festival me wearing a 2 and half foot malt blood crown ask we like the name Osaka do you have another one we could shadow with I said yes turn turn to my left slam my fist though the skull of a contestant while saying Obama! Gulps yuck, okay writes the name down Obama. Well, always herd of those island curse ask them not to follow me back to the mainland we settle here well the big chief did says your Malta King of all the islands come back and claim it. Shit, such an honor such a thing I was against and now king of it uh ah not going. Work out a curse Zoobama. Well it happen my Honorable sin_say was Toshio Osaka 8th dan well fulfilled Hirohito prediction.
The only thing I hate about youtube is it's word restriction. The Late honorable Sensei Tatsuo Suzuki 8th DAN Hanshi of Wado Ryu Karate died On the 12 July 2011 at age 83 his Dojo was in Fulham London SW6 and he was truly a really nice person a really Great Man may he now R.I.P. XXX You will always be remembered.
The original Okinawan Karate styles such as Shorin Ryu and Shorei Ryu only go back as far as the mid to late 1800's. The native Okinawan fighting style called "Te" is centuries older, but it wasn't until the late 1800's that they began combining it with Chinese martial arts to create the first Karate styles.
As a Japanese jujitsu black belt I can say it is impressive to see how he is always maintaining the relative bio mechanical advantage. It is easy to see how these techniques can be applied to sparring or self defence.
Style matters as much as the fighter? Maybe to a point in that a great fighter has a style that doesn't suit his abilities, karate is a great art (in the right hands) so saying that each art holds stances and techniques that may leave yourself open to an other art, but would do the same to one that beats the one that beats yours, aikido may beeat karate but lose to savatte which in turn could be beaten by karate (just an example, I'm not saying it would definitely go that way)
All and all...a few lessons i learn first before even touch the mats are respect and humility over other people, arts etc,..even most of the technique are not to my liking...i learn to respect it...cos they are there before i came...we owe it to those people who paved the ways so we can have the luxury to choose what works for our self.. if you do not like it or you discover it won't work for you..leave it then...with respect..not mockery... take a Ritsu-rei and say Yosh!!
So you rather take a ridge hand to the bridge of the nose from a tkd artist than round kick to the face or a sliding side kick to the ribs? Either way what ever works, use it. Not all tkd is the bouncing sport kind.

I live in Ukraine, and it's no wado clubs here 8n my subregion by now. So, I started to train wado by videos, since I have get some boxing and kiokushin experience. And I really need some person to talk about wado. Please, if you practice wado ryu and want to talk, write me. Ps: do you produce, that in first gata Otsuka sensei, doing evasion with step outside, lean little forward under his knee, like in Takagi yoshin ryu. But all I saw on vids his students did it backwards, which I think, very unnatural and hurting.
There no such thing a martial art is better than the other...it's just the individual...I took Bruce Lee's words; discover what works for you, your mind and body..do not restrict or be tied by forms..learn as much as you can in order to discover you ability...and hone that ability...the rest is just a state of mind...
Actually you would try to end a street fight quickly too so I dont see how you can say that.The only time a 5 minute brawl happens depends on the fighters attributes.A reverse punch might stop an average person of equal weight and size.That same move will NOT stop a 350 lb drunk man thats used to bar fights.See what im sayin?
There are circular attack and defenses in Wado Thomas. Pinan Yondon displays a lot of Chinese influence in its waza. I study Wado currently but also did Kung fu in my 20s. For me, Wado is the most well rounded and practical MA because it employs both atemi waza and Jujitsu techniques such as trapping and grappling. I've done 4 different MA and Wado is a good fit. Also, if I may- none of the posted Wado demos show a lot of the really nasty stuff we train in. And I'm glad. Only guys that tr
@THE MARTIAL ARTS CHANNEL Sorry, but you really don't know what you are talking about. Karate was developed in the 1800s when Chinese martial artists immigrated to Okinawa and began training the Okinawans in Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu. The earliest practitioner of Karate was Sakugawa Kanga, who lived from 1733 to 1815 and began training in Kung Fu under a Chinese Kung Fu master named Kusanku in 1756. Sakugawa Kanga then began training other Okinawan students in what would eventually become known as Karate in 1762, and first Karate schools began to emerge in Okinawa in the early 1800s. Karate did not exist in the 1600s.
street fighters miss the precision, control, and defense that comes with the martial arts. Your typical street fighter is found in the UFC. Many of those fighters don't have the defense or range ect. that martial art fighters have. I'm pretty sure if one of those black belts were fighting in the street they wont stop attacking until their opponent is down for good. The martial arts is good only if it can be applied to all things in life and not just at tournaments
Foot, knee, hip and torso positioning reminds me of wing chun. Was there some potential cross pollination there? Would be interesting history if there was
Hi, kung fu guy here. I'm sure stuff like xingyi, wing chun and southern mantis would disagree with circular. Also, in a way, being linear suggests that the attack is more direct and therefore more efficient, rather than taking a circular approach; the above arts mentioned generally take the mentality of "taking the shortest distance" (which translates to straight punches and straight kicks more times than not). And I'm sure Bruce Lee would agree with that, having the wingchun/jkd ideas.
agreeable, but the disadvantage for linear attacks is that they are so much easier to block if you do it correctly. Circular attacks might attack peripherally so it is more difficult to block or see it
As a boy it completely changed my life. Whereas I would always respond to bullies and fight them, getting in trouble. When I started Karate, I was so much more disciplined, even as a kid. Eventually of course it became funny to see someone act in such a way, but in my earlier years before I knew how to deal with people who act in childish ways, without Karate, I would have been in so much trouble for fighting and such like.

This was a very interesting video to watch. A martial treasure to be sure. Cheers from a Wing Chun practitioner.
I can't believe there are still people out there argueing over which style is better. That's like crap we used to do in the 90's.

Beautifully simplistic...masters of masters is well deserved

You're right in the sense that it takes the person to make a technique work.

What is wado kai has it got different moves
I can see the Jiu jitsu, in Wado ryu karate being a former Jiu jitsuka myself.
@keisuke185 your comment shows you know nothing of martial arts. Its not the style that makes the fighter, its the fighter.
I'm absolutely sure wado ryu is an effective form of fighting, because, you know, blending karate with jujitsu produces a pretty complete self-defense system; and i have seen good, effective examples of this style on youtube. Still, if one were to judge wado ryu by THIS particular video, then he should conclude wado ryu is lame, a bullshit an ineffective. Giving the title "the best of wado ryu" was definetely not a good service to the style
so Otsuka the guy who started Wado ryu is lame?
+olly783 Not in the world, but probably a video where he was 90 years old was not the best service one could do to him. Neither one in wich he was repeating the same demonstration over and over again with only minor changes. And the title "best Wado ryu" is rebundant at best
KurtAngle89 yeah I suppose so. It probably got called that so it got sold more. And I think it's just a training demonstration of kumite gata he's doing
People forget about what is important: do your best and don't disturb me.
Olá, pessoal! Tudo bem?
Fui aluno de Sensei (Sansei) Ricardo do Rio de Janeiro, que foi Campeão Brasileiro de 82. E Sensei (Sansei) Pimentel. Eu preciso que me indique aqui em João Pessoa, Paraíba. Qual é a academia de Karatê que pratica Wado-Ryu. Foi até a faixa marrom e não lembro muito, estou há 20 anos sem praticar. Quero retorna e treinar pra fazer exame de faixa preta. Hoje tem 47 anos. Você podem me ajudar?
Yes, what is that?
Bom dia saudoso mestre
is a very good ryu, i now
Any Martial Art is better than no Martial Art or effective fighting form. However, saying that, I'm watching the first 15mins of this video and find it uncomfortable. I want to make it clear I'm no black belt, but I have trained in four different forms of Karate, trained in Aikido and used control and restraint techniques in real life situations. I've practised with Katana's and other various weapons and worked on combat knife techniques. Again I'm not coming at this as any expert.
I think my discomfort while watching the technique is reminiscent of my own experience when I did Karate in that the situation is a fiction. By that I mean the movement is practised and learned in a submissive form within a given parameter. There is a single attack with a single response. The attacker is punching away from the target and stops when the opponent counters. This doesn't just apply to Karate, which I honestly respect, but all training I've ever been involved in.
Another instance in the video is the defence/attack demonstration of avoiding a sword and countering. Given the tip of the sword is travelling extremely fast and if wielded by an expert the technique of avoiding the strike is at best slim.
The flexibility to express movement and technique is only found in good sparring as unpredictability is key to learn attack and counter-attack, and it must fit with reality based scenario's where the attacker is always in motion and doesn't stop to wait for a counter but is making a 2nd or 3rd attack.
My personal experience of this happened when I was part of a class being taught breakaway. The instructor didn't know me. He saw a fat out of shape old man who he asked to help him demonstrate how to break a hold. He instructed me on the type of strangle attack. I obliged. He countered and stopped. I countered back and held him on the ground in a choke, which, if I was a real aggressor, would have caused him serious injury. He admitted he didn't know how to break the choke hold and hadn't anticipated my response. He was very gracious.
It was my frustration in that the techniques being taught were a lie and gave the participants a sense of security that was unjustified, which takes me back back to my observations above. Teach Martial Arts honestly. No attacker will stand still or wait for you to move. If armed, the weapon will be in motion and is likely to connect. So train attack-counter-attack-counter etc or better still don't get into a confrontation where your training is called upon.
Thanks for reading.
it's just a training video to show how to do khion gumite and kumite gata
Are you making this assertion solely based on this video or have you trained in this style? The higher up you progress the more Jujitsu it embraces and less karate. I read that they had trouble defining whether Wado Ryu was karate or Jujitsu with atemi waza. I find the JJJ elements more relevant personally for practical application though the karate aspects are great for body conditioning and fitness.
You have a right to your opinion, but it's just that- an opinion and one which isn't backed by much facts. Unless you have trained in this style, and others as contrast, you are simply making an uninformed assertion. I've trained in Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun, Goju Ryu, Kung Fu and BJJ. They all have merit. Wado Ryu, for me, is the best fit at this point of my life.
majin2912 I don't need to have gay sex to know it sucks (no pun intended). You can use logic and common sense and see that Aikido, most styles of Kung Fu after the cultural revolution, and Wado Ryu are garbage.
Well, if that's your prerogative. I don't agree.
That turtle walk is obviously from kenjutsu, but it should really stay there. When you're both playing with 3 foot long razorblades, every inch could be life or death, and sometimes you just have to sneak a few in. In hand to hand, you can afford to jab away at someone who's just creeping around on his toes.
J.A.C'ked You obviously don't understand the full advantages of the Turtle Walk. lol
I taught Wado Ryu for a few years.....studied from 1990-2002.....reached 2nd Dan (2nd Black). My Masters were David Deaton & Cecil Patterson...under Grand Masters Hironori Otsuka and his son Hironori Otsuka II, who took over after the death of his father.
It doesn't matter what type of fighting you are doing. A few extra inches is still a few extra inches. It was mainly for smaller fighters. If a 5'2" person can close in the gap against a 6'9" opponent, he gets more advantage because the taller fighter has such a longer reach...I can put out 2-3 jabsand his one kick can keep me back...but, by slowly, and unnoticeably, moving closer, not only does it get my attacks within reach, but it makes it more difficult on the taller opponent. Longer arms struggle to fight up close against smaller opponents. Also, in the beginning of this video, you can see Otsuka sidestepping at a 45 degree...opposed to straight sideways..he wasn't a big man...5'5"...so, every chance he could get to be closer was taken to advantage.
J.A.C'ked lol i know right.. if you notice someone turtle walking just simply reset to a new position.
Its kind of like Iaido
Is this lazer tag?
nice
very good!
The narrator in the beginning sounds like Charlie Sheen.
Yep, pretty much.
very godd
Traditional karate cant be use in ufc, because that would mean using competition rules. Traditional karate is meant to disable or even kill your opponent quickly when they attack you. Most of the techniques Knife hand, ridge hand etc would not be allowed so it wouldnt really be any indication of how useful it is or its effectiveness.
This video did not show the titled "Best of Wado ryu karate" Ever so that i could say this video is probably over 15 years old. From then, Wado ryu has become a very effective state of Karate As jujitsu preforms the complete power of what you can do without offense on your side. And the karate it self is a big mash up of thousands of styles and one simple yet popular style is not the best. I train with Wado ryu but i do not take it's side on everything and it cannot control what i do with my body, But help control my body. Slowly making it stronger a smarter to the point where it is all just reaction. But I am unable to explain every bit of this style, see i'm just a kid.
You still have a lot to learn about the style I guess. I train in Wado-Kai. I am also a kid.
those pointless, distracting arguments have been going on a lot longer than that. I remember those arguments from the early 70's and they were stale then.
Kyokushin the best
No kyokushin
wadoryu
absolut now reality
Well, it is a pity if this was "Best of Wado ryu Karate". I expected much more.
He's old duh, I expect him to fly and walk on water.
good vid.
You dont know what you are talking about.
There's no power or damage in TKD especially, a lot of flapping around to 'tap' an opponent on the face a few times is not quite as effective as a ridge-hand to the throat, now is it?
consistent kumithe fighter becomes a worthless streat fighter while an effective streat fighter becomes a disqualified Kumithe fighter
Ju jutsu!
I laughed at that little old man a lot
We all feel sorry for you. I dub thee "unenlightened".
@TehDubious obviously you don't know the difference. Honestly I'd rather get hit by a boxer than a Karate Grandmaster just saying
Ahem, you mean practitioner I'm sure.
Look, I know everyone thinks that because they have done one or another martial art they think they know it all, take you for example, but you're talking to a master of Muay Thai, a trainer and practitioner of Vale Tudo/Shootfighting, I train in a Gracie gym for my BJJ... Been a member of 2 boxing clubs, started martial arts at 12 for christs sake. If you're trying to put 'power' into TKD moves, you're not only doing it wrong, you'll hurt yourself.
No it's not..
I do not like to see pulled punches and kicks. It is especialy silly when you can toss them to the mat but can not strike them with at least medium contact or light contact. It is rather comical. All Martial Arts that perform that way are just not right. You need to demonstrate and perform techniques at varying degree's of speed and contact! Nothing against the style itself or the people involved as this is seen in many different styles of Karate. Imagine Judo or Boxing performed like this! It would be like ordering a decaf, sugar free, cream/milk free coffee or what my local barista's at Starbucks call a "why bother"! This is why so many martial artist when they truly need to use their martial arts training in life and death situations end up terrible hurt! It is also why so many I hate to use the term "traditional" martial artist can not defend themselves even against a friendly MMA challenger or high school wrestler. We see this is Kungfu, Karate, TKD etc....To be clear not talking about the opening scenes with the very old master of master's!
ok
Coming from a 12 year old black belt.
If you are looking learn Karate to fight or be a bad ass , then this art is not for you, better of learning/or training in MMA ..
I think it really depends on the school. Ours is in direct lineage to Ohtsuka and we have two avenues we train- the formal which is fine for dojo but one of our instructors teaches us the street variations of these techniques. They can be minute ones but they make a difference. We also train in street clothes for those classes. Not saying any martial art of even MMA is guaranteed to make anyone a bad ass. some people are naturally better fighters than others. Traditional systems focus on self improvement so a person isn't likely to get into a fight over something stupid in the street.
well said Sensei thank you for a well informative lesson
Looks like a bunch of crap to me.Hapkido or TKDwould tear them apart.
I took Wa do Ryu from Toshio Osaka my high rank was blue belt 10 yrs later I got sucker into a Hawaii vacatio package, soon after received word nobody can make it off the islands natives closed in on tourist with tazers, stun guns and pinapple knives slashing rib cages of the prettiest woman you eber laid eyes on. I pulled over the head cannibol said hey why don't we make this a new Hawaiian punch game you how , any of mine and me how many of yours the one with biggest stink pile wins everything ancient Hawaiian no gun me punch & kick tell send your errand boy the message I come to each island I cheat no one everyone has a chance to kill me on my vacation.

And o yes tjere was a punch trade aan Osaka Punch for an Obama Punch!
I may not be legend in karate but I am profit prophesized by Hirohito at the surrender ship cameras catch him speaking to one of his diplomats says, something like, One day a Blue Belt with blue eyes will come to the land of where it all began with a dove in his hand and revenge to the number of Hiroshima (140,000) solo, name Gibson, he says twice, and he well punish the world with a Frankenstein monster (Zoobama). Well, the shit always comes down to me I did not plan it but I took my Zoowaii Vacation one thing lead to another a Punch Festival I invited myself to all their islands everyone gets a chance to kill me I cheat no one send your messenger runner boy tell all them, soon as he over the hill the punch fest begins ... well during the the punch fest ran out of katas which I never like doing at the dojo began asking my sins say out loud Osaka, Osaka ... what should I do there's to much repetition they might lay me up I had to do new movements and if I'm wrong I'll die!

Well it happen my Honorable sin_say was Toshio Osaka 8th dan well fulfilled Hirohito prediction.
Bullshido
wasted my time
muay thai is better
The only thing I hate about youtube is it's word restriction. The Late honorable Sensei Tatsuo Suzuki 8th DAN Hanshi of Wado Ryu Karate died On the 12 July 2011 at age 83 his Dojo was in Fulham London SW6 and he was truly a really nice person a really Great Man may he now R.I.P. XXX You will always be remembered.
I had the privilege to train with Sensei Suzuki around 1974. My Sensei was John Taylor in Lincoln.
The original Okinawan Karate styles such as Shorin Ryu and Shorei Ryu only go back as far as the mid to late 1800's. The native Okinawan fighting style called "Te" is centuries older, but it wasn't until the late 1800's that they began combining it with Chinese martial arts to create the first Karate styles.
O te já era o karatê com influência direta dar artes marciais chinesas.
@@juniorpontes8727 no habla.
As a Japanese jujitsu black belt I can say it is impressive to see how he is always maintaining the relative bio mechanical advantage. It is easy to see how these techniques can be applied to sparring or self defence.
Style matters as much as the fighter? Maybe to a point in that a great fighter has a style that doesn't suit his abilities, karate is a great art (in the right hands) so saying that each art holds stances and techniques that may leave yourself open to an other art, but would do the same to one that beats the one that beats yours, aikido may beeat karate but lose to savatte which in turn could be beaten by karate (just an example, I'm not saying it would definitely go that way)
Thats only true for the japanes styles. The okinawan styles are much older.
All and all...a few lessons i learn first before even touch the mats are respect and humility over other people, arts etc,..even most of the technique are not to my liking...i learn to respect it...cos they are there before i came...we owe it to those people who paved the ways so we can have the luxury to choose what works for our self.. if you do not like it or you discover it won't work for you..leave it then...with respect..not mockery... take a Ritsu-rei and say Yosh!!
So you rather take a ridge hand to the bridge of the nose from a tkd artist than round kick to the face or a sliding side kick to the ribs? Either way what ever works, use it. Not all tkd is the bouncing sport kind.

I live in Ukraine, and it's no wado clubs here 8n my subregion by now. So, I started to train wado by videos, since I have get some boxing and kiokushin experience. And I really need some person to talk about wado. Please, if you practice wado ryu and want to talk, write me.
Ps: do you produce, that in first gata Otsuka sensei, doing evasion with step outside, lean little forward under his knee, like in Takagi yoshin ryu. But all I saw on vids his students did it backwards, which I think, very unnatural and hurting.
А подсечки где? Мае Гери? Столько моментов было.
There no such thing a martial art is better than the other...it's just the individual...I took Bruce Lee's words; discover what works for you, your mind and body..do not restrict or be tied by forms..learn as much as you can in order to discover you ability...and hone that ability...the rest is just a state of mind...
aiming for a double grading to hit my blue belt in the wado ryu style of karate in July 2021, tis year! Wish me luck!
Actually you would try to end a street fight quickly too so I dont see how you can say that.The only time a 5 minute brawl happens depends on the fighters attributes.A reverse punch might stop an average person of equal weight and size.That same move will NOT stop a 350 lb drunk man thats used to bar fights.See what im sayin?
There are circular attack and defenses in Wado Thomas. Pinan Yondon displays a lot of Chinese influence in its waza. I study Wado currently but also did Kung fu in my 20s. For me, Wado is the most well rounded and practical MA because it employs both atemi waza and Jujitsu techniques such as trapping and grappling. I've done 4 different MA and Wado is a good fit. Also, if I may- none of the posted Wado demos show a lot of the really nasty stuff we train in. And I'm glad. Only guys that tr

Karate is only a little over 100 years old, just a little older than Judo, which makes it a relatively young martial art compared to others.
@THE MARTIAL ARTS CHANNEL Sorry, but you really don't know what you are talking about. Karate was developed in the 1800s when Chinese martial artists immigrated to Okinawa and began training the Okinawans in Chinese Shaolin Kung Fu. The earliest practitioner of Karate was Sakugawa Kanga, who lived from 1733 to 1815 and began training in Kung Fu under a Chinese Kung Fu master named Kusanku in 1756. Sakugawa Kanga then began training other Okinawan students in what would eventually become known as Karate in 1762, and first Karate schools began to emerge in Okinawa in the early 1800s. Karate did not exist in the 1600s.
street fighters miss the precision, control, and defense that comes with the martial arts. Your typical street fighter is found in the UFC. Many of those fighters don't have the defense or range ect. that martial art fighters have. I'm pretty sure if one of those black belts were fighting in the street they wont stop attacking until their opponent is down for good. The martial arts is good only if it can be applied to all things in life and not just at tournaments
Foot, knee, hip and torso positioning reminds me of wing chun. Was there some potential cross pollination there? Would be interesting history if there was
all that shit doesnt help you in real fights !
Hi, kung fu guy here. I'm sure stuff like xingyi, wing chun and southern mantis would disagree with circular. Also, in a way, being linear suggests that the attack is more direct and therefore more efficient, rather than taking a circular approach; the above arts mentioned generally take the mentality of "taking the shortest distance" (which translates to straight punches and straight kicks more times than not).
And I'm sure Bruce Lee would agree with that, having the wingchun/jkd ideas.
agreeable, but the disadvantage for linear attacks is that they are so much easier to block if you do it correctly. Circular attacks might attack peripherally so it is more difficult to block or see it
As a boy it completely changed my life. Whereas I would always respond to bullies and fight them, getting in trouble. When I started Karate, I was so much more disciplined, even as a kid. Eventually of course it became funny to see someone act in such a way, but in my earlier years before I knew how to deal with people who act in childish ways, without Karate, I would have been in so much trouble for fighting and such like.

Karate is a sport and very old martial art which is not the best for steert fight
Very good and very interesting moves. I'm looking for a place to train Koryu Uchinade in Surrey, England.
it is better not to hear the commentator on the video, just watch!
Really?
