Toyama sensei was such an amazing person he would be strict as was sensei Uechi, but such a warm hearted person that would give you his shirt off of his back.
A very good demonstration of a great style. Unfortunately, difficult to find good dojos for this. I like their hand techniques very much and this demonstration shows the importance of this aspect in hand to hand combat. Thank you for uploading this short film, chrisvac!
Arepita Grande thank you 🙏🏻 It is indeed not easy to find good dojo’s with this level of technical skills and strong Spirit that adds up to the training. Okinawa is definitely the best place to go to train karate. I would love to love there one day. God bless
This is an excellent short tribute to these Karate Sensei Masters. I am proud to be Uchinanchu and that our ancestors have created a disciplined art that teaches one should not seek glory in beating up an opponent for the win attitude or prestige of medals and trophies. Karate is making the body & mind strong as one it takes a lifetime to achieve this. Our Ryukyu Buyo is based on many karate movements and the precision of the foot and hand movements to music. Okinawan karate and all the arts teach you to be humble. Hopefully the foreign students who learn this really know the essence of Ryukyuan art..
This is my art form, I am so proud to see it practice with such grace. I am but still a green belt but I hope to grow in this discipline that I could be as those who demonstrate our art.
As a black belt in Uechi I can say I really enjoyed the journey. There were some benefits. After Uechi I moved on to boxing and BJJ. I can tell you I learned more useful things for actual combat in 6 months boxing BJJ than I did in 6 years Uechi. For karate styles I think it's the best. But still not what boxing and grappling will do for you in a fight . Toughen you up for sure
Even when attacked, the aggressive defense of Uechi-ryu karate is said to sometimes cause the opponent's limbs to be destroyed. It is a formidable style.
Any uechi stylist out there to answer my question? When narihiro Sensei is performing sanchin kata, what is that cracking noise coming from? His breathing? Etc
@kingalfred8719 Thank you for your question. I have studied Uechi Ryu since 1988 and I am a 3rd degree black belt in this beautiful art! The sound you hear during Sanchin is nothing more than the placement of the tongue against the back of one’s front teeth during breathing as a way to let the Sensei know you are breathing properly upon each exhale of air. The noise is the air exhalation from the mouth and the sound is magnified when the tongue is placed against the back of the front teeth. Breathing is from the diaphragm (hara/stomach) and NOT the chest. The stomach / lower abdomen must always be filled with air on exhale. Breathing is NEVER done from the chest like most westerners. For clarity: It is NOT caused by any grinding of the teeth as you may have read in other comments. (LOL!) Hope this helps! Cheers!
+Steve HILL Hi Steve I am sorry I can't figure out what is the title of the song but you can join Ryukyu Martial Arts group on Facebook and they will know for sure. Have a blessed day
+karayuschij correct. but the boards are just demonstrations to show what can a blow like that can do to you. Imagine hitting you in the head with a punch like that.it'll break your skull in half.
More in Uechi-Ryu than in Kyokushin or Muay-Thai? Funny enough there are many very old master who are still fit and healthy. I've been to a Uechi-Ryu class the head master is from Okinawa and is 80 years old. But sure I guess you are right
@@jean4j_ I just think that to much conditioning over an extended period of time ( many years ) causes more damage than it worth for the benefit you receive.
What you're seeing is splintering from the first attempt, not a cut. If you go back to 1:21, before his first attempt, you'll see there is no cut or breakage.
That is the issue with some traditional styles. I'd rather be able to destroy opponents fast and take down multiple. The focus should be on fighting. This is the issue with stuff like Kyokushin too but I know this style is much much better. Hopefully this video is just focusing on thos part and that when training they focused on the more important stuff like self defense.
@@jean4j_ Oh noooooo. I will always talk crap about Kyokushin every chance I get. That's a stupid style and the worst of all popular Karates easily. Uechi Ryu is much better from what I see.
What a load of horseshit that goes unchallenged for decades. Kick with the toe and hit with the bent thumb is just plain silly. And, of course, a lot of board breaking without showing the fragility of the boards.
@@petercarlson811 and you think conditioning training with boards etc is to fight boards ? funny logic (not hating here just saying) i suggest you refrain from commenting about something that you don't really understand, have a good day sir :)
You really don't know much about Uechiryu karate, or Karate in General do you? You don't seem to get out much, why don't you take a trip to Okinawa and challenge this Kyohide guy and tell him what he does is horse shit. Let me know how your fight with him turns out.
Toyama sensei was such an amazing person he would be strict as was sensei Uechi, but such a warm hearted person that would give you his shirt off of his back.
This is what a real sensei looks like
Uechi Ryu is my favorite karate style.

By far the best presentation of uchie ryu karate.
This is my art form, I am so proud to see it practice with such grace. I am but still a green belt but I hope to grow in this discipline that I could be as those who demonstrate our art.
Antonio Miller stay with it my friend, i am 48, and have been practicing Uechi Ryu since i was 13. You will be rewarded.
Very inspirational for us older folk .. thanks for sharing.
beautiful video, it proves to show how powerful karate is and that its not for fighting but for perfecting yourself.
Not for fighting in the cage, every hit is meant to kill or permanently injure.
Uechi ryu is actually for self defence
As a black belt in Uechi I can say I really enjoyed the journey. There were some benefits. After Uechi I moved on to boxing and BJJ.

man best art ever master sensei

It is a formidable style.
fantastic!!!!!
This is Mastery
Respect!
What was that cracking sound at 2:40?
I believe teeth, he is tightening his mouth muscles.
From his feet gripping the floor
Indeed^^
they gonna have a strong grip and hard bones
チューブトレーニングがすごいですね、実戦で新城清秀先生が使うのを考えるとめちゃくちゃ恐ろしい。
Any uechi stylist out there to answer my question? When narihiro Sensei is performing sanchin kata, what is that cracking noise coming from? His breathing? Etc
He is closing his teeth tight since the exercise require to tense the whole body, some Senseis use this method also for their teeth/mouth
Tooth grinding
Teeth grinding, which is absolutely devastating for the outer layer of the teeth.

I would love to study Uechi-Ryu. I live in Arizona USA. If anyone happens upon this post and knows of a place I would be grateful to learn of it.
Haseeb 2 Thank you so much for the reply. I believe their was a place under a Sensei Sandler but I believe he passed away.
Grand !!!
Does your fantastique style use chi ishi as morio HIGAONNA school ?
Goju and Uechi in particular but also Shorin
@@chrisvac merci.
@@chrisvac belle vidéo du padre Pio aussi.....
Bravo !
@@didiervidry7687 I love Padre Pio, thanks for checking my library
I am a student of Uechi Ryu in Italy. but you can't practice like in Okinawa 🙏🏻🥋👺

Scariest form of karate
What show is this from? Would like to check out the full thing.
3 major schools of okinawan karate, there are 2 volumes
Energetic.
RESPECT
Round it up to 60 pounds each on those weights in each hand doing the Sanchin walking exercises.
like
Oss
55lbs!
At first karate is seen as an offensive or defensive art. It becomes self preservation the more you practice.
too strong...imagine that sensei was 20....he could kill a small size tiger
He was a 9 time world champion. One of his most memorable moments was a 3 second knockout with a High Roundhouse kick with the toes
Wonderful but is not it too hard and lengthy & of course not for all martial artist
tiger crane

@@jean4j_ I just think that to much conditioning over an extended period of time ( many years ) causes more damage than it worth for the benefit you receive.
Freeze frame at 1:39 and you can see a cut in the bat. I still think Uechi Ryu is a great art, but let's not reduce it's value with fake footage.
?
there is nothing fake about this ?i cannot see any cuts in the bat
What you're seeing is splintering from the first attempt, not a cut. If you go back to 1:21, before his first attempt, you'll see there is no cut or breakage.
That was the damage done from his first blow.
True it broke on the first hit but didn't come apart. Imagine if that were your throat
Плохо поставленный спектакль.

Sado-masochists.

This seems like the sado masochist art. Oh, and you cannot train the head to take punishment. Yeah, I have to be the one, sorry.
