Uechi-ryu Karate 6th-dan Grading - Shai Hai @ Kiyohide Shinjo Dojo, Okinawa

- Shai Hai takes his 6th-dan black belt grading in Uechi-ryu Karate at the Kiyohide Shinjo Dojo in Yomitan, Okinawa.
Examiners were Kiyohide Shinjo, Narihiro Shinjo, and Yoshimitsu Matsusaki all icons of Okinawan Karate.
In Uechi-ryu karate, for 6th-dan there is no kumite component, but Shai Hai had to perform the three key kata of the style.
After the grading I had the opportunity to chat with Kiyohide Shinjo about Series Three of SENSEI: Masters of Okinawan Karate. I'm excited about the possibility of interviewing Shinjo Sensei later this year.

Amazing! Congratulations! A 6th Dan promotion in any art is a lifelong commitment. Great job...
I was a 1st kyu in Shotokan many years ago & wasn't long for Shodan, then this small Japanese sensei demonstrated at our dojo & I was blown away as my perception of what was the best got a a boost, I asked one of my mates who this guy was, he told me & within a week, I went over to his dojo & after seeing me in action for a few classes, he demoted me back down to 4th kyu & I went throught he brown belt stage again.
That was the best move ever as thirteen years later, I left a Yodan because he was old school Japanese & ran me through the guantlet for all those years, it was tough because no quarter was given but it made me a better karateka today.
The message is that if it's not hard, it's not worth taking the journey.
great experience, great Sensei, great Shai. thank you for sharing
Congratulations Sensei!! Your story is an example of strenght, perseverance and willingness. All the best and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing this impressive documentation and congrats to your effort and achievement. Never give up!
Congratulations Shai, a very inspiring story about never giving up to pursue your dreams!!
Nice inspiring story. I do Wado Kai and hope to train Japan a bit in a couple of years. 😊
Testing for your 6th dan in uechi Ryu (or any belt before and afterwards) is obviously not an easy task, I commend him, i practice Kyokushin btw!
Why? Sounds like skill issue
@@tyriqcleo5899 Not sure what you're trying to get at with that comment, or what point you're attempting to make!
@MichaelZuzolofacts
@@tyriqcleo5899 so whats your belt grading? Not that a high belt karateka would say such a disrespectful thing.
I swear they have made movies of your life. Congrats man, wish you the best.

異国の地でここまでの努力と鍛錬は本当に凄い。
Congratulations and what a great journey you have.
Thank you for sharing Sensei. A wonderful journey that is full of honour, respect and inspiration. I study Japanese sword and my Sensei has been so supportive and has taught me so much. Many congratulations 🙏
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your story.💪👏👏👏
It's nice that the assistant will give him a massage while he is in the middle of a grading.
Yeah, I think in Muay Thai that is just the warm-up for a workout 😅
Wow thanks for sharing. Here in my country (gr) I am tought shito-ryu karate. Currently brown belt. But I think I would also start over from white belt if I ever manage to visit Okinawa. Thanks for sharing. Jim
Beautiful! Congratulations on fighting for your dream

感動しました。素晴らしいカラテ
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you so much
すごいな、この人。
腕の動きが機械のようだ。
相当に強い人だ。
Congratulation Sensei Shai
"One advice". I wish that was the normal for sensei and senpai. Too often so much advice that you just feel crushed, unable to perform w/o fear of doing one of the many, many things you have been advised to change. Let one be enough, until one is mastered. Then another one.
So you started training with Sensei in 2007. Is this video relatively recent?
Congratulations on your achievement! Very humbling.
This is a video from April 2024
I am just 7 kyu and practiced 15 years ago but i saw that down swing in your punches and that is the only thing he complained about in the end.
Gratz Sensei !
At the start, what strikes me is that the sansei doesn't even turn his foot that remains on the floor while throwing leg kicks...
Probably fake
If I took ONE of those leg kicks, I would be down. Probably going to the doctor, buying Ice and going to sit in an ice bath for 6 hours and eating 20 Oxy's!
Good and you have a good MASTER
Congrats on the grading.
Did you say that you went to the Dojo wearing your black belt from another style? If that's true, no wonder you were beaten.
Congratulations! That is a great achievement! Did you also learn the meaning of the individual techniques in the movement sequence?
these are all the sound effects that they make for the movies with whips and celery sticks etc....but in this scenario its all genuine. That short bald guy is quick as a cat and his strikes look unpleasant to take!
Inspiring story.
that old gentleman kick is actually hurt as hell, that is not a random kick
Поздравляю вас. От души.
Very interesting 👍🏴🇬🇧
A very inspiring story.
Congratulations 🙏
Nice Video, congrats
I hope to see a shorei-kan Goju Ryu master on here one day
Sabrá alguien si existe una escuela de uechi ryu en México.
Strong!
Very intersting. And well done.
But is there kumite examined too?
I would like to see some, because uechi Ryu is very particular.
I wondered about that too. When I was tested for shodan and nidan in George Mattson’ Uechi-ryu dojo in Boston back in the 70s, kumite was part of the process. I since moved on to Yang style tai chi, but this well made and sincere video brought me back in time.
Shai, you are so determined to pursue your dream.
This Israeli is humble and dedicated 😂❤😂😮❤
The real karate kid. What a story
Blessings to all
What happened to the first 5 dans? Were they being disruptive?
This is a joke I know what they mean.
סיפור מרתק ומעורר השראה!!
אוסס!!🥋
A warriors path starts with several refusals from a karate master. 😂
שי אתה אלוף מת להתאמן איתך בארץ
Uechi Ryu Karate is similar to Kyokushin Karate. Kyokushin Karate is powerful and popular, just like Chun Kuk Do since Grandmaster Chuck Norris mastered 15 fighting styles, especially Kenpo Karate, Hapkido, and Kyokushin Karate.
THAT WILL DEFENTLY HELP YOU IN A FIGTH OF COURSE
👍
That's beast
Super Vedio thanks god son of god
Wow wow wow
That’s the real Mr Miyagi
kol ah kavod!
OSSU !!
Kol hakavot Sensie!
I understood this perfectly !
ITCH......SCRATCH !
ITCH...... SCRATCH !
Amazing how quickly I pick up on things !

Osu. Power baby
Only in Japan🏅
Good level though

The test should be fighting a formidable opponent with no limitations on contact. Anything short of that is just a waste of time...
Didnt you see all the felled shadows he boxed?
This wins the most ignorant comment award. Black belt gradings are multi faceted and he would've already done a heap of sparring/kumite tests in previous gradings. When getting to the higher dans, it's more about your knowledge of karate and fine tuning technique, not having full contact fights. Achieving anything difficult is never waste of time.
@@Lieutenant-Dan Yeah, I know how much you guys love to run the around in your costumes, pretending to be fighters. Too bad competitions like the UFC had to come along and expose all the fakers.

Long live Israel 🇮🇱 🙏 ❤️
