The true spirt of Karate... Im happy, lucky that my face is also included! Thank you very much NHK WORLD to do such a big work! No better time to Join than now! Be in the nearest Dojo!
It's sad how traditional karate training has been lost over the years. People nowadays only see karate as a sport, and it only uses kicking and punching. Grappling, takedowns, throws, and joint locks have been ignored. Karate is fighting in close. not the over exaggerated style we see now. Jesse enkamp and iain abernethy are really good to watch
100% agree with you i study koryu uchinadi and all the techniques you mention in your true comment are in the kata we study and we study all these techniques ...
It hasn’t been lost at all. There are plenty of clubs in the UK who teach traditional methods, I imagine they are plenty worldwide if you look hard enough.
Karate was my first martial art. I have been crippled for 8 years and it is shocking. I always said I'm glad that's not me when I saw a cripple. Now it is me. I have learned to live with it and hardly notice any more. Truly wonderful for Uke! Thank you so much for this beautiful story. Thank you! Peace and One Love. Hippy Mike the artist
There are a lot of people like me! I live in assisted living and most of us never go out so you don't see it a lot! I live with other cripples and old folks with dementia. God Bless you!
These people should be very fortunate to be studying and relearning this art form that our ancestors have created. Did you know prior to WW II the USA military did not have this art yet until after the war. Okinawan people always believe it is best to be humble and disciplined I was told to use it when you need to and not to show off and seek glory. i've seen many guys abuse this art hopefully they learn the true meaning of it from the Sensei.
It is in the culture ingrained from their childhood. being humble and disciplined is a culure of the Okinawans and perhaps even the mainland Japanese. The west do not have such culture although christian religion propagate humbleness and humility. It is not the general culture of the west. So you can see western people being outwardly boastful of their being a karateka. You can see even in karate competition, seldom you see a japanese who hit a score or win jumping with joy or smiling like a child for winning a game. They are always non comital in their faces, they might be happy that they do not outwardly show it off perhaps because it is bad manners for them to do that after ably hitting or winning making as if you joy for the lost and pain of the loser.
@@diosdadoapias you are right in every way. Asian culture is absolutely NOTHING like the culture of North America, although I hope you weren't saying one is right and the other is wrong. There are definitely idiots that don't know how to act properly when they do well, but there are lots of classy Westerners;)
In Moo Sul Kwan we practice a black belt heyoung /kata named Chulgi, I see it practiced in this video in Okinawa, amazing. Our martial art has roots in Okinawa.
In my search of Bruce Lee,dance,( Okinawan dance), mimics a lot of karate movements,gestures ,martial arts etc I come up with a few observations.. Esp on Uke ,parrying,counters ,and intercepting the opponents attack.. I wonder if Lee had access to some of these old vintage karate videos ? A lot of this stuff is very very similar (idea wise) ..... Of course some techniques are too.. This is very good . Thanks
I believe Lifting weights and running and Karate.And they all go together.And I have been in Tokyo Japan for a Day and Night while going to Taiwan for US Military during the Vietnam war.
I learned Wado Ryu as a teenager. We did competition which I disliked as our karate was more geared towards competition rules. One example was I had a natural ability to stand on my opponents foot after I kicked or moved forward. This I was told would get me disqualified so It was almost trained out of me. I loved the kata and wanted to know the reasons for each move.
Pentu Prager that's an awesome technique, and how cool you were able to do it naturally! Having a sensei stand on a foot while you're trying to move can be super annoying 😂
It’s called Eisa drum dancing. It’s very Okinawan. Depending where you live you may have an Okinawan cultural group in your area. You’ll may have a chance to see it. It’s different from mainland Japanese Taiko. Also do a search on TH-cam for Eisa dancing you may see some martial arts incorporated in them. Karate in Okinawan is immersed into the culture more so than Japan.
Okinawan karate roots are in shaolin temple . Some movements are this same. Conditioning body in the temple was called 74 arts of shaoling temple. One of them was ability to receive punch or kick in to the body . Another I think called iron fingers was about toughening your fingers that you can drive them into human flesh . was said it took 3 years everyday training to master ship any of the shaolin arts and here those Okinawans do similar things .
Okinawan Karate roots are in Tegumi and Mötu. Okinawan Karate mey have have SOME elements derived from- or inspired in- chinese martial arts, but it preserves its unique caracteristic that differenciate it from any chinese, japanese or thai martial art, that is lineality and tempus (one movement for blocking, other for stricking).
Red Corsair You can find Okinawa techniques in shaolin styles like the tiger style and the crane style especially , also the way way of training is similar. In the old times what is now okinawa was a separate country from japan and was a vassal state of china , it was called ryukyu( 14 century) .Many chinese monks etc travelled to okinawa teaching them martial arts . They had a big culture exchange. There are lot of information about that time. Karate before started being called Karate was called ' Tode' in Japan what translates 'chinese hands'
It’s more static and stiff due to the emphasis on wa, because of geographical characteristics of Okinawa. It’s odd that Chuan fa didn’t evolve similarly on Taiwan
Recieving in my mind is similar to catching a cricket ball at speed, if you just try and catch it you'll either hurt or break a finger, instead you must take energy out of the ball by catching whist drawing it towards you or away and slowing it's momentum.
It always fascinated me how people thought Shotokan was such an aggressive art when all the katas began with defense rather than offense. It definitely showcases the difference in mentality between the Japanese and Okinawans.
The two work together. If you dissect the katas, you'll notice that the mentality is IN the kata itself. You didn't need a separate dojo-kun to anchor yourself. You're at peace when you practice. Instead of militarily repeating movements, you're able to create your own movements.There's no competition because there is nothing to compete over besides your own development. That's why you need real masters to watch you, not some upstart black belt. That's the true essence of old martial arts.
FoieGras You say that the Japanese are more agressiv than the Okinawans and people think that Shotokan (as japanese Karate) is agressive. I just said that it has to do with the competition focus of Shotokan. But not even alle Shotokan Dojos have the competition focus. Your reply has nothing to do with mine.
Precisely, the style itself is built for competition. Didn't used to be that way but it evolved with that mindset. No, not all dojos have a competition focus, but it's the same style. The katas are built for something entirely different from its original purpose (either just exercise or competition).
FoieGras Most Shotokan Katas where created before it gets involved in competition. Also the Kata dont have to be agressive for competiotion only the kumite.
Awesome documentary, I think Okinawan karate is real karate, Japanese karate, also good, but American Karate? I don't consider that karate, at least not to my eyes anyway, I think it lacks all the training that Okinawan and Japanese karate has, I'm a kyokushin practitioner, and I have nothing but respect for okinawan karate. Osu!
I had practiced Wado Ryu Karate for 10 years in the past and I want to get back to Karate training. I can't pick between Kyokushin and Goju Ryu karate, I haven't done much sparring/kumite during my karate practice so Kyokushin would be great to fill my lack in this. However from the videos and articles I've read about it that Kyokushin seems a bit less "strategy oriented", more brutal force and less skilled techniques. Finally the fact no punch to the face are allowed in sparring seems to be problem. Could you please tell me your opinion about this ? That'd help a lot Thanks ! OSU !
***** well everyone has an entitled to their opinion, but the part about Kyokushin being less skilled is not true, and yes it's true that punches to the face is not allowed in kumite, but doesn't mean they don't train for face contact, I should know, I do Kyokushin, and also about less strategy oriented? Not true, it would depend on what school you go to, in the Kyokushin school I go to, we learn strategy, and we learn to fight smarter, but not harder, if you really wanna do Kyokushin, then try it, you never know what you'll find, I hope my comment helps!
Yes it helps a lot ! I hope my question was not offending, it was not my intention. From what I read and watched on the internet, it seems to me that Kyokushin kumite was more like a contest of who can't take pain anymore than actual contest of skills. In many fights, it appears to me that fighters just stick to each other and kick their midsections until one of the them give up. Thanks for your educating me about Kyokushin Karate Thanks OSU !
alterdestiny on what part? And how am I biased? I'm just speaking my opinion, so please don't try to belittle me with name calling, and why reply to a 2 year old comment anyway?
Sanchin: the worst misunderstood kata in occident. Sanchin comes from China and its objective is to condition the body, breathing and muscles for learning karate. And the hits during the performance are called "shime", aimed at correcting the posture, hardness and also softness of the positions (dachi). Goju ryu uses a lot of body conditioning too, most of it comes from China.
I think Kevin suffers from post traumatic stress due to his old job in the military. He is still in shock of death and stops him from receiving blows properly.
I am learning okinawan karate by seeing youtube particuarly this video and other karate videos on youtube particularly Euchi Ryu I am using a home made wooden bat to strike my shin bone. and kick the plywood of my cabinet with my toes, and hitting the drawer of my table with my extended knuckles while viewing this video. also strengthening my fingers for spear hand or nukite strike hitting my fingers on the top of my table.
dosdadio siapa great job keep swinging and banging! did great work since younger strengthening my hands but I'm just now starting to properly Harden the tips of my toes and feet
In the Ming Dynasty The Emperor of China himself wished for the friendly Tributary Kingdom of Okinawa to enjoy a higher level of Cultural and Intellectual Life. He sent 36 families. Imagine their sorrow and hardships! These families helped anchor and spread Chinese Learning to the Okinawa Island people.
Ah, I see what you mean, some one wrote Tee below the Kanji (chin. character) for Hand. Perhaps he wanted to indicate that the "e" is long, but AFAIK it is a short pronounced "e", sounding like the 'e' in bed or self. However around 5:30, the narrator says: "tee" as in "tea" *in the local dialect*, which might make sense.
Karate(empty hand) meaning to fight with your hand empty of weapon- this is my understanding. but this word is more associated with the martial arts of punching and kicking. but the word karate seems to be generic in meaning fighting using only your hand without weapon whether you strike with your fist ,kick with feet and grabbing your opponent throw him or choke him or whatever technique so long that you are not using man-made weapon except your natural weapon.
The original meaning of kara is Chinese so the name was China/ese Hand. Also there was always a close ink to Kobudo. Styles like Shito Ryu or Isshin Ryu even have own weapon katas.
The kanji character is spelled - depending on the context it is used- "Kara" when it means "empty/bald", "emptyness/vacuum", "desolation", and it also means "whole" or "complete/full" (it´s a complex deal for us occidental/western people to understand the causes of its apparent ambiguity). For example, is read "Kara Te" and it means "the empty/bald hand", or "the whole hand" (i.e.: Karate is the use of nothing but your hands to defend you and to strike your agressors/opponents). The same kanji It can be read "Söra", or "Kü" when it means "sky" or "air". For example, is read "Kü Chü" meaning "air" or "atmosphere"; is read "Kü Kï" and has the same meaning; is read "Oz Söra" that literally means "large sky", firmament. The most common japanese word for chinese is spelled "kan" (like in "Kan Ji": chinese character), that comes from the name of the "Han" dinasty that rules China when Japan adopted the chinese alphabet.
@@RoteCorsair In 1924 Keio University established the first university karate club in mainland Japan, and by 1932 major Japanese universities had karate clubs. In this era of escalating Japanese militarism the name was changed from 唐手 ("Chinese hand" or "Tang hand") to 空手 ("empty hand") - both of which are pronounced karate in Japanese. - Wikipedia
No, it's pronounced "tee" which means "skill", "hand" and was the name of the primitive karate before that term was coined and styles (ryu ha) were developed. Also named "Toudi" (toudee).
"Tay" is better than "tee." But its more like "teh." Like the short 'e' in English, rhymes with the 'e' in bet or get. Also, it's not Ka-RAH-te, although that's kind of how I say it in English. THe Japanese pronunciation would be closer to KA-rah-teh. I don't know, something like that.
The ultimate aim of all martial arts, as far as the body movements are concerned is that each limb should be able to move swiftly and forcefully without having to depend upon the core of the body. Novices emphasis too much on the core and hip and leg synchronization, but to be able to use the skill practised in dojo and to carry it with you for life, this level must be achieved otherwise its nothing more than another recreational activity, another sport, another neighborhood business. Humankind is on the brink of losing history now. All will be lost like tears in the rain.
I did both karate and Taekwondo. I hate Katas, I just like Kumites. I am easily able to fight my opponents there, Katas are literally a waste of time. It looks cool. That's it
Kata are a waist of time if they're just practiced in the air ad nauseam. But they can be useful as a record of infighting concepts, basic grappling etc. when done with a partner: th-cam.com/video/ylULQU-ouhU/w-d-xo.html Most importantly, you have to practice applying the kata in live sparring: th-cam.com/video/wA3ZLONLq50/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/mJuwmsC9KZU/w-d-xo.html Of course, if you're just interested in competitive fighting then yes I agree, kickboxing, muay thai, mma etc. is usually the way to go.
Kevin's teacher should be giving him what he needs There are no bad students, only bad teachers. He should be working with him. 1 on 1 giving him what he needs. That is a teacher's role. Students need nurturing, no different Then a newborn child....
these guys would definitely kick my ass with the speed and rock hard punches and kicks, but not with the techniques since nobody attacks by stepping through like that anymore.
I am not sure I can practice Okinawin Karate. I am not sure that is legal where I am at. But I have heard this is the difference between American Karate, and Okinawin Karate. The Okinawin's were able to win a war with it. I am not sure about how American Karate is used.
charlie mashara I don't know who told you it's not legal to practice Okinawan Karate, but that's not true, if you wanna practice Okinawan Karate I say do it, and don't take this the wrong way, but you won't get anything from American Karate, just saying!
I am not sure if they saw me practicing forms, they would let me do that. A lot of stuff could get me in trouble if I did that. For example, striking someone in self-defense could get me in a lot of trouble.
I think Kevin thinks too much. His movements come from his body and not from his mind. He should forget about techniques, have an empty mind and then the techniques will come naturally.
No it did not It came from China There were 3 initial families teaching same thing The real story is available Jigoro kano was instrumental in the development of the ruys Which are not different at all As a matter of fact what came to be known as karate Took all the kicks from savate there were no kicks as known today Funakoshin added those in I cant watch a video that opens with erroneous information.
Not sure where you get your information, but its kind of all over the place. Funakoshi has no influence whatsoever on Goju or Uechi Ryu, or even Shorin, which is what Shotokan comes from. They all have kicks. Some of them may have gotten HIGH kick from Savate, but it's not universally true. Kano created Kodokan Judo, in Japan. The "Ryus" of Karate are from Okinawa, not sure what you mean by Kano creating the Ryus.
Okinawan Uechi Ryu Karate Do 🥋 . Sport Karate no good not real . Full Contact Kumite eg: Kyokushinkai , Ashihara, World Oyama , Uechi Ryu , Enshin, Seidokaikan, Seido , Kudo very powerful, violent and real Karate 🥋. OSU
TheSilence1 Thanks ! My sensei, Tstutomo Oshima, pronounced my name with an r as there is no l in Japanese: Jhon Aragame. My Korean sabum, Lee Jhong Hyan also pronounced my first name as Jhon. It is very difficult to transliterate one language into another and little is funnier than listening to a mono-linguistic, especially an American, trying to pronounce words of another language, especially, Asian.

However around 5:30, the narrator says: "tee" as in "tea" *in the local dialect*, which might make sense.
They had their own endogenous martial art called te before they mixed it with Chinese martial art.
Karate(empty hand) meaning to fight with your hand empty of weapon- this is my understanding. but this word is more associated with the martial arts of punching and kicking. but the word karate seems to be generic in meaning fighting using only your hand without weapon whether you strike with your fist ,kick with feet and grabbing your opponent throw him or choke him or whatever technique so long that you are not using man-made weapon except your natural weapon.
The original meaning of kara is Chinese so the name was China/ese Hand. Also there was always a close ink to Kobudo. Styles like Shito Ryu or Isshin Ryu even have own weapon katas.
The kanji character is spelled - depending on the context it is used- "Kara" when it means "empty/bald", "emptyness/vacuum", "desolation", and it also means "whole" or "complete/full" (it´s a complex deal for us occidental/western people to understand the causes of its apparent ambiguity). For example, is read "Kara Te" and it means "the empty/bald hand", or "the whole hand" (i.e.: Karate is the use of nothing but your hands to defend you and to strike your agressors/opponents). The same kanji It can be read "Söra", or "Kü" when it means "sky" or "air". For example, is read "Kü Chü" meaning "air" or "atmosphere"; is read "Kü Kï" and has the same meaning; is read "Oz Söra" that literally means "large sky", firmament. The most common japanese word for chinese is spelled "kan" (like in "Kan Ji": chinese character), that comes from the name of the "Han" dinasty that rules China when Japan adopted the chinese alphabet.
@@RoteCorsair In 1924 Keio University established the first university karate club in mainland Japan, and by 1932 major Japanese universities had karate clubs. In this era of escalating Japanese militarism the name was changed from 唐手 ("Chinese hand" or "Tang hand") to 空手 ("empty hand") - both of which are pronounced karate in Japanese.

Okay.... dumb question: I always thought the correct way to pronounce it was "TAY"... and not "TEE". Am I wrong???
I think the Japanese pronunciation is TAY, the commentator must be not familiar with the Karate names.
@@chrisvac Ahh.. okay. I was just checking. You never know when someone knows more than you do.
@@grappler240 It's a good question, thanks for your comment. Take care!
No, it's pronounced "tee" which means "skill", "hand" and was the name of the primitive karate before that term was coined and styles (ryu ha) were developed. Also named "Toudi" (toudee).
"Tay" is better than "tee." But its more like "teh." Like the short 'e' in English, rhymes with the 'e' in bet or get. Also, it's not Ka-RAH-te, although that's kind of how I say it in English. THe Japanese pronunciation would be closer to KA-rah-teh. I don't know, something like that.
hay videos que no se como pueden tener tan poca verguenza de hacerlos.
And some Kung Fu from Hong Kong.
Awesome
The ultimate aim of all martial arts, as far as the body movements are concerned is that each limb should be able to move swiftly and forcefully without having to depend upon the core of the body. Novices emphasis too much on the core and hip and leg synchronization, but to be able to use the skill practised in dojo and to carry it with you for life, this level must be achieved otherwise its nothing more than another recreational activity, another sport, another neighborhood business. Humankind is on the brink of losing history now. All will be lost like tears in the rain.
Verdadeiros karatê as,esses treinam mesmo
I did both karate and Taekwondo.
I hate Katas, I just like Kumites.
I am easily able to fight my opponents there, Katas are literally a waste of time.
It looks cool. That's it
Saral Thakur then you're better off doing Kickboxing or Muay Thai or something, why practice Karate if you think Kata was a waist of time?
Kata are a waist of time if they're just practiced in the air ad nauseam.
But they can be useful as a record of infighting concepts, basic grappling etc. when done with a partner:

Most importantly, you have to practice applying the kata in live sparring:

Of course, if you're just interested in competitive fighting then yes I agree, kickboxing, muay thai, mma etc. is usually the way to go.
if this is what you think of kata, you are doing it wrong
Katas are definitely not a waste of time, if done right.
2:06 to be coninued
That's where nobody gets in because it's all about violence or so they say. :)
Kevin's teacher should be giving him what he needs There are no bad students, only bad teachers. He should be working with him. 1 on 1 giving him what he needs. That is a teacher's role. Students need nurturing, no different Then a newborn child....
TEACH him to block. It can be done, but you have to work up to it. Lots of practice.
This is for fighting.
Nope.
real karate
Salento T-shirt. The must beautiful Town in Quindio, Colombia.
ho lesame verso il 10 di giugno spero bene cintura marrone
these guys would definitely kick my ass with the speed and rock hard punches and kicks, but not with the techniques since nobody attacks by stepping through like that anymore.
Rizal Djohan you can't stop your ego can you buddy
42:55 rising block with the right arm done at speed wouldn't block anything. Black belt cannot do the basics. Shame.
There are no real blocks in karate you recieve
It's actually Te, not Tee.
Yes that had me thinking about golf :)
Osu!
Anything on Isshin Ryu in this video.
+MrOphachew Look for Shinshinkan Isshin Ryu they have excellent videos
I mean it. Impossible to get in. Zen, Karate and so on. Provably impossible. The proof is about 6 A4 pages.
the true spirit of CHINESE KUNGFU
They could have at least used the Okinawan word "Di" or the correct Japanese word "Te" pronounced Tay! :(
I am not sure I can practice Okinawin Karate. I am not sure that is legal where I am at. But I have heard this is the difference between American Karate, and Okinawin Karate. The Okinawin's were able to win a war with it. I am not sure about how American Karate is used.
charlie mashara where do you live? And does it have Okinawan Karate?
There is a American Karate place in town. I live in the United states. In state called Wisconsin.
charlie mashara I don't know who told you it's not legal to practice Okinawan Karate, but that's not true, if you wanna practice Okinawan Karate I say do it, and don't take this the wrong way, but you won't get anything from American Karate, just saying!
I am not sure if they saw me practicing forms, they would let me do that. A lot of stuff could get me in trouble if I did that. For example, striking someone in self-defense could get me in a lot of trouble.
charlie mashara what? Who tells you these things?
Lefta circle wax on wax off
I think Kevin thinks too much. His movements come from his body and not from his mind. He should forget about techniques, have an empty mind and then the techniques will come naturally.
No it did not
It came from China
There were 3 initial families teaching same thing
The real story is available
Jigoro kano was instrumental in the development of the ruys
Which are not different at all
As a matter of fact what came to be known as karate
Took all the kicks from savate there were no kicks as known today
Funakoshin added those in
I cant watch a video that opens with erroneous information.
Not sure where you get your information, but its kind of all over the place. Funakoshi has no influence whatsoever on Goju or Uechi Ryu, or even Shorin, which is what Shotokan comes from. They all have kicks. Some of them may have gotten HIGH kick from Savate, but it's not universally true. Kano created Kodokan Judo, in Japan. The "Ryus" of Karate are from Okinawa, not sure what you mean by Kano creating the Ryus.
Okinawan Uechi Ryu Karate Do 🥋 . Sport Karate no good not real . Full Contact Kumite eg: Kyokushinkai , Ashihara, World Oyama , Uechi Ryu , Enshin, Seidokaikan, Seido , Kudo very powerful, violent and real Karate 🥋. OSU

Tee..........do you mean Ki ?
Tee, as in the Okinawan word for hand. Karate means "empty hand".
We've always spelled it with one e, as in Kara te.
there are no letter e's in Japanese. :)
By the way, Here's a theory that I think you might enjoy reading about. www.karatebyjesse.com/karate-name-meaning/
TheSilence1 Thanks ! My sensei, Tstutomo Oshima, pronounced my name with an r as there is no l in Japanese: Jhon Aragame. My Korean sabum, Lee Jhong Hyan also pronounced my first name as Jhon. It is very difficult to transliterate one language into another and little is funnier than listening to a mono-linguistic, especially an American, trying to pronounce words of another language, especially, Asian.

This is not Okinawa karate this is mainland Japan sports rubbish .
