Thank you for your instruction Sensei. You will be treasured and missed. Rest In Peace.
Janet Mangold my dad trained with him for 30 years are you going to his funeral
My mr Mori form me from a boy from the geto in NY to a AIR LINE PILOT THANK YOU
I had the big honour ti receive the black belt directly by Mori Sensei in 1978 in his New York dojo 🙏
I trained under Sensei Fred Serricchio in Darien, CT in the mid 80's. Sensei Fred Serricchio trained under Sensei Mori! Sensei Fred Serricchio would take us a few times a year to Sensei Mori on Saturday and we would watch our black belts and other black belts take class! Watching this video of Sensei Mori was exactly how we learned! Shotokan Japanese Karate Association! Thank you, Sensei Mori! Prayers💕
Thanks again for keeping this beautiful memory of Mori Sensei... Ooss!
I trained under Mori Sensei in the early 2000s. He is like a father to me and many of those that trained under him. He looks amazing at 83 years of age. Thanks for sharing this video.
I trained with him as a teenager at Stonybrook University in the early 90s. My sensei was Chuck Muller. Senei Mori was and is a master of the craft. I feel so honoured to have spent time with him. I remember we went to a tournament and he was out back walking around, it was just me and him and we talked for a while. ill never forget it. Made a huge impact on my life. oooosss!

Rest in peace senssei Mori
I studied under him in the 80's and 90's
Excellent sensei, I have many memories with him and the Dojo in NYC
Fantastic attention to detail. The explanation of bowing and projection of the voice during three step sparring is the stuff that is often forgotten. The mortar between the bricks, so to speak. I did not train with Masataka Sensei but under Hidetaka Nishiyama also of the JKA. The old time original students of Funakoshi Sensei could really demystify the magic yet to watch them was still magical.
I was fortunate enough to study with Mori Sensi -- A wonderful man and fantastic teacher. I sure did earn my belt.
It was my great privilege to be Sensei Mori's student.
Many fond memories at the dojo at 73rd and B'way, every class began with cleaning the floor and clearing your mind to learn technique. Loved and hated when he made us hold positions/stances while he got his Japanese/American Dictionary out to look up a word to emphasize what he wanted to tell us about the technique he was teaching us that day. He was an amazing Sensei, we have lost a true treasure. Thank you for the video.
I was fortunate to train under Master Mori in the '90s and Masters Okazaki and Mikami before that. All great karateka. Master Mori always treated me really well, even though I was only under his organization for a few years.
I studied with Mori sensei in NY, Broadway dojo, in the late 90's. Good memories. And I was never struck by his shinai! :-)
Thank you Edgard, for publishing this. I studied under Mori Sensei in the 70's. His lessons taught me far more than karate.
Me too. Such much so. I learned in the 80's.
I can appreciate the effort , but as a style , and that goes for any style :
" THAT BOAT HAS ALREADY SAILED ! ! ! "
JEET KUNE DO ! ! !
@@andrewlinesjah4538 Both Jeet kune do and Bruce lee are incredibly overrated, it's why Bruce himself reached a limit in his training that he himself wasn't able to surpass
Rest in peace, Sensei. Thank you for everything.
Thank you very much for sharing this video. It brought back many great memories training with Sensei Mori in NY and CT including the summer camps in UCon. I hope all the guys of those years (eighties & early nineties) are well. Greetings to all from Lebanon.
thanks for the fantastic upload, so useful having subtitles
most 83y/o are half dead or already dead..... sensei still teaching with such energy, focus and dedication.... bravo
Yes really inspirational to see someone of his age still so active and helping others learn the art of karate-do.
I just returned yesterday from the the most recent of many weekend courses with Mori Sensei I have attended over the past 20 years. He didn't miss a beat.
I'm a shotakan karate student grading for my 6kyu green belt today. Any advise thanks
What does half dead mean like are u dead on one half and on the other not?
Real Authentic Shotokan KARATE! Great Man
Through years of training with Mori Sensei I gained great strength and knowledge that lives within me to this day!!! Sho-Dan USA 1-0181 Dec. 14, 1991
I can appreciate the effort , but as a style , and that goes for any style :
" THAT BOAT HAS ALREADY SAILED ! ! ! "
JEET KUNE DO ! ! !
Wow, his presence is so powerful. It inspires respect and admiration. Such a good teacher. Is must be an honor to learn from him.

He was the father I din not have he was is a dear friend
Thank you for making this video available. It was both educational and enjoyable.
How wonderful to hear Mr. Mori share his thoughts. How amazing to see him be able to personally demonstrate the three principles of kata training. Thank you very much for sharing this beautifully edited video.
I have limited training in karate (a little shotokan but mostly TKD, Muay Thai, and Krav), but I loved watching the slow and really technical performance of bassai dai that started around 26 minutes. I want more vids like this.
Absolutely a legend 👊🙏
Honourable and Traditional...Excellent Sensei Thank you:)
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I miss the Dojo. It was good seeing familiar faces...Ooss!
This is very inspirational video and very motivating. I've always lived in NYC and to see someone like Mori Sensei still teaching is like seeing a crown jewel in living color especially when his here in NYC! Oss!
Mori Sensei and Enoeda Sensei came through the ranks together when they originally trained at the JKA in Japan.
Mori was always the senior with Enoeda regarding him as a bigger brother figure.
There were story's of them when they were young going down to the local dockyard together to pick fights with the sailors to developed their fighting skills. (How true that is do not know but it was a commonly held belief).
When Enoeda invited Mori to England to teach at his Summer camp trading course at Crystal Palace in London Enoeda came to my club to personally ask that I attend his course. He was asking as many people in England as possible to attend because he wanted to put on a good show of support as a mark of respect to Mori.
Enoeda joking said to me "I want some really good Karateka to attend this year so if you come to my course I will give you 3rd Dan" I replied. "Thank you Sensei but you have already given me 3rd Dan at last year's course"
Enoeda then laughed like a drain for ten minutes. LOL.
Osu! Thank you for this video! It was awesome watching I actually competed in JKA SKDI Fall 2016 tournament!
IN 1970-80s MORI SENSIE DID NOT,,I REPEAT DID NOT LIKE ANYONE IN DOJO SAYING 'OUS'. I SEE THIS CHANGED IN HIS LAST YEARS....REST IN PEACE TO THE BEST SENSIE EVER
@@dacon999 my apologies of course this was 3 years ago... since then I have learned about that specific word. I stick with Hai now! Much respect David
@@javierguzman8709 I THINK ITS AN AMERICAN THING I DONT KNOW...I TOOK PRIVATE CLASES WITH MORI SENSIE 4 MORNINGS A WEEK PLUS REGULAR CLASSES IN EVENING.as you see I edited to be more specific. I LOVED HIM AS MANY MANY. I UISE TO WORK OUT WITH SENSIE TAKAHASHI WHICH I THINK IS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO. I GOT CAUGHT UP WITH BUSINESS AND AFTER MANY YEARS OF STUDY AND MOVING TO NEW JERSEY I STOPPED, BUT TO THIS DAY I MISS SENSEI MORI LIKE A BROTHER OR FATHER....I EVEN THOUGHT I WAS JAPANESE AFTER A WHILE....SAD WHEN I HEARD HE PASSED AWAY I think it is 2 years now. I took some people touring some dojos to chose for them which dojo and nothing as simple and effective as JKA. BY THE WAY, Mori sensie hated the ''dancing' around the fancy flashy moves. He insisted on ''IN and OUT'' THATS IT. WE HAD A JAPAN WORLD CHAMPION VISIT ONE TIME ''ISAKA SENSIE'' WHO 'DANCED' FANCY MOVES..SENSIE MORI WOW REALLY GAVE IT TO HIM FOR A FEW MINUTES...I TRY TO PASS ON THE LITTLE THINGS TO MY CHILDREN...BUT WHEN I VISITED SOME LOCAL DOJOS.....THEY, the americans DONT HAVE A CLUE what serious teaching is.....Did you have to wash the floors and windows, LOLOLOL .....VISIT youtube ''NAKA''....''How to fight by Naka sensie JKA''How to fight by Kata Naka sensei JKA - TH-cam
@@dacon999 thank you so much for the info

most authentic Shotokan Training in JKA. Not even Japan honbu has this type of authentic training.
where was it?
In Manhattan, NYC. Looks like the monthly instructor training as I see many familiar faces from the various dojo and clubs throughout the region as well as the local students.
You have no clue
Inimitable QUALITY of instruction.
amazing video very inspiring and motivational to watch, thank you for sharing. Oss.
Thank you for sharing ossu!!!
My Japanese teacher sometimes said, 'go from 0 to 100'. It will come.
It's really amazing to see sensei kept his passion for 65 years, what makes me really sad is, it seems no matter who you are and how much you've practiced, you won't be able to keep it up and get better as you get older !!
When i was a kid, watched a lot of chines martial art movie, and i believed as i get older i get stronger and stronger, if i practice, which is not necessary true in real world ! that made me really discouraged, to a point i didn't want to practice martial art anymore...
Train karate and you are in good shape as age 83...not bad really. Good trainer also and show respect to other very important.
Thank you for sharing this video, I really enjoyed it.
I studied with Sensei Mori in the early 70s, earning shodan. A great teacher quite apart from karate, a great discipline.
I love Japan . Japan is very precious for me . I love Japan people .Japan people is very cute
Fascinating.
thank you teacher good training
some do karate they whole life time and mind are so sharpe
Thanks for your lessons.
Wow. 83?! And he’s moving better than some 50 year olds.
i'm glad that I have sensei with same thoughts as sensei Masataka.
Wonderful, great video. God bless you all
I shall miss him
Superrrrrrrrrrrr awesome
Thank´s for sharing!

"Hi..!! sensei...**
Full of teachings.
Thank you sensei for beating the shit out of me with your stick becuase your
Tough teainig saved my life many times over the past 50 years .I know looking back that you loved me in your own way
powerful....my respect.
Sensei still kicks ass!
I am a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do I see a lot of similarities. Interesting video!
Que buen karate oss Saludos yo practico shotokan vegas nv 👊
I also trained with Mori when he was a 6th Dan. Is he still alive and were is he? Late 60's and 70]s
Unfortunately, he passed, but lives on in the memory of those whom he trained.
I am not sure, But I will find out.
The Taekwon Do (Jidokwon style no longer practiced in S. Korea, I suspect) that I took in South Korea so long ago (1969) is not today's Taekwon Do. It was like Japanese Shotokan Karate. And it was certainly not S. Korean Hapkido that uses lots of joint-locks often with associated throws as well as their own types of kicks, punches, and strikes. I have largely modified my martial art into something else discontinuing Kata (stylized or choreographed fight "dancing") and added some Hapkido joint-locks & throws, modified my fighting style a lot (vertical-fist punching instead or horizontal-fist for a long-distance punch to keep my elbow close to my body for more power ... no knife-hand finger jabs that can injure my fingers ... using ducking & dodging a lot instead of standing straight up to punch and block but mostly hard-blocking as a type of attack to opponents arm to cause him pain and momentary disorientation or sweeping-block to measure my distance for a counter-attack ... raising my knee very high to do a forward or side kick making my foot sort of come downward in a stomping even sideways or upwards as in high or medium kicks ... and ferocious sudden attacks or counter attacks and etc etc etc. And I often don't even use a fighting stance but just to stand relaxed before defending or attacking with ferocity. That's me doing the flying kick.
Very educational... oss
Great 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Bravo Karate...Oss

Tough life. ..
Much respect for those who dedicate their lives to self-improvement, and the elevation of society as a whole l- and muchbrespectnto the philosophy and culture of Shotokan. As an outsider, it seems to be a very rigid style, and not necessarily in a good way. Bricks and boards don't fight back, and opponents don't conveniently stand still so you can execute a rigid karate dance with them. I suggest bouncing a bit on the balls of the feet, and being more fluid. However, the kicks and punches are crisp and snappy!

Why that's the when me and my girlfriend starting our relationship strange and at age 18 he started I know people who started before me and I'm older I started taekwondo at age 16

In my karate class a couple of students and I go to bars to pick fights with people there. It's great because we know karate and they don't so it is relatively easy for us to win. The problem is that sometimes some of us get injured. We figured that if we had our master come with us that we could at least diminish this risk. How do people here think we should propose this to him?
Oliver Hoppner - The problem I have with your logic, is that if we study karate it's easier to beat people up even if they are bigger than you are. And that makes us be proud of ourselves. Why are you saying it's stupid?
Oliver Hoppner - Well somehow the sensei found out and he was really pissed, especially since we were picking fights with people bigger than us. In order to stay in the school, each one of us had to do a fight against 14 to 15 year old girls, but we were on our knees and the girls were allowed to wear boots and spurs and use a riding crop. Two of us got beat pretty badly because we couldn't move much on our knees (even though the rest won). We are all adults but it was embarrassing to be beaten by girls that young, especially since they had weapons.
Do you think he handled it the right way?

Lots of this class is white do they learn to speak Japanese?
The boy with glasses doesnt do it with power, he would be already down if someone punch him in the face. In 4:49 minutes.
daveshen0880 he is a beginner, everyone has to start somewhere. That's why it is called learning.

american flag?
Hi; I am not from USA but I am a JKA student too; however, I see the main problem that we have now; even more now after all the older Sensei are passing: anemic students...no kime; no spirit; not so good technique; no understanding of what is going on with the techniques; basic techniques...; no Makiwara training; no maai; no good use of the hips; no coordination between dachi, hips, relaxation, breath to obtain a good kime and to have better technique. No understanding of the explosive force.
Well; ALL that mentioned directly and between lines by Sensei...what the video showed about the students is LACK of ALL that.
Is not good, I know, to mention that by me, other fellow student but is something that I have been seeing in these past decades. What happens with those older guys there? supposed to be at least Sandan with a couple may be nana dan? but what is the example that they are leaving for the kohai? May be the video editing only showed the not so good students...
Please, open your senses; you guys had the opportunity to learn from a good instructor. One from other era; one of the last ones.
ALSO: the translation of Dojo kun in English is totally diluted! losing the meaning in great percentage. Think about that point.
