@MegamiDojoNYC He's on Facebook. To my knowledge, he is still teaching. I'm not really sure where. He definitely does still practice from what I've seen. His Gi snaps are one of the best I've ever witnessed.
I loved attending Grand Master Sensei Advincula's seminars back in the 1990's and 2000's. You know, so much of what I learned in Isshinryu is not allowed in Gracie Jiujitsu classes. They almost never practice striking, and you're not allowed to use small circle joint locks in Gracie Jiujitsu. In addition, the Combat Judo I learned from Grand Master Advincula and Sensei Mark Meyers even impressed a 3rd degree black belt Judo world champion. He was like, "That's very advanced Judo technique," and I told him I learned it in Seminar with Grand Master Advincula.
While living in Va. I heard Sensei Advincula was going to be doing a seminar in Williamsburg at a Shorin ryu dojo. Subject was on, “body mechanics.” It was interesting to hear the shorin ryu students asking their Sensei, “why are we not doing this?” Not only was I impressed by Sensei Advincula demonstrating the differences between Isshin ryu methods compared to others but apparently the shorin ryu students as well. I don’t think that Sensei ever invited Advincula Sensei back. 😆 That day, I began to train in Isshin ryu under Advincula.
I found a book on Isshinryu at a little free library box. It combines 2 styles that I've always been attracted to, so maybe it's a sign I need to learn 😊
I had been taught Isshinryu while I lived in Woodward Oklahoma but the man that taught me moved away and I wish that I could find him I really want to finish learning Isshinryu with everything in me
I'm a former 3rd degree brown belt in Isshinryu, and met Grand Master Advincula 4 times across 6 years. I had to quit full time training in 2000 due to school and work, but by 2009, I still had a group average punching power of 600 pounds when tested on a force meter, and I'm a natural Welterweight. When I was training full time, my punch was probably nearly twice that powerful. Still, a 600 pound punch for a 165pound fighter is around the same as a professional boxer, even though I was nine years out of practice at the time. My point here is if you learn to do it correctly the first time, you don't forget even 5 or 10 years later. I can still break a head-board from a bed using a palm heel strike, knee strike, or front thrust kick. I can double a head-board from a bed and break that with a thrust kick.
The kid in the back leaning against the wall, rolling his eyes, and yawning was annoying and discourteous, but this is still a great video with lots of good info; thanks for the upload!
No disrespect intended, with that in mind, punching from the hips is not ideal. Using the hips is essential, but punching from the hips is slow, telegraphs a lot, loses power and is energy inefficient. I'm confused. I came from shorin-ryu, btw breathing is definitely important, at least in my dojo, but typically wasn't taught to very early belts. Rather wasn't heavily emphasized.
In any class of Okinawa Te , this man was a legend . Thank you for this karate treat . Hai
The student he was using as the example was my former sensei, Sensei Ruberto. This was a great find. Thank you for this.
Haven't heard that name in 20 years. Is he still teaching? In my dojo in NJ, we heard he was a force to be reckoned with.

Well this was amazing! Enlightening as well! Isshinryu for life!
I started as a kid got an orange belt and I don't know where to go to learn it now the man that taught me moved away! 😞
I first met Advincula Sensei in early 90's. there are some memorable times
Advincula was a very though and skilled man according to my former teacher who met him in Calgary
Very good explanation
This is excellent

Refurbishing your bedroom must get pretty pricey 😂 jk, that's good stuff and yes "if you don't use it you lose it" doesn't always apply :) thumbs-up

"No disrespect" but Isshinryu will always be better. 😊
That kid in the back was making me cringe. God I would have been in big trouble with Sensei Gallant.
The "black belts" are leaning on the wall, bored. Gimme the absolute fear of a Nagle class any day. Soft. SOFT.
What a great instructor! I would love to learn from him. Is there any home program or online path to instructorship?
