- After the ryote-zuki, you perform the same movement you have been doing toward the opposite side.
At this point, there are two ways to do this.
Let's consider each approach and its merits.

It is one of my favorite channel. This video explains karate is also a matter of research for its practionner. Thanks. Osu
Watanabe Sensei, since you mentioned it, I find torite against modern martial arts pretty hard to utilize outside of a grappling interaction, or using striking as a way to disguise your grappling intention. The other way I think torite is useful and how kata can be interpreted is for guard manipulation. When you leave your punch out, it makes it easier for your opponent to hit you since you have left a "hole" in your defense. However the punch you leave out should remain active for guard manipulation, to rip their guard open for your own strike to enter. Meotode in that sense would be pulling the guard of your opponent open and using that same hand to strike. It isn't a powerful strike, but it is certainly enough to make your opponent more wary and allow you to enforce your own pressure. I find watching Archie Moore or older George Foreman boxing videos on guard manipulation very useful for this. Thanks for the video it's good things to think about when practicing naihanchi, osu
Hello sensei.
I have a question : did you train in karate (the whole martial art) or are you just interested in learning about katas ? Are you only a kudoka or do you consider yourself to be also a karateka ?
Thank you for your time.
Thanks for the very good question (and sorry for very late reply).
As I have mentioned several times on this channel, I believe that the understanding and training of weapons is very important for karate in its original form.
I also practice with weapons, but very little. And I do not train for fighting with weapons.
My interests are almost exclusively in "non-armed fighting," so in that sense, I cannot say that I practice karate as a whole.
Therefore, I cannot define myself to be a karate-ka in the strictest sense of the word.
However, if one were to apply this strict definition, there would be very few karate-ka in the modern world.
Therefore, if we were to loosen the definition a little more and say, "If we limit ourself to bare-knuckle fighting, that is still karate. It's modern karate. If you think so, then I am a karate-ka.
I joined Daido-Juku in 1983. At that time, Daido Juku was not called "Kudo" but "Kakuto Karate" (meaning "Combat Karate" in English).
To me, kudo and (modern) karate are synonymous.
So I identify myself as both a kudo-ka and a (modern) karate-ka.
Does this answer your question?!
Your explanation of using Naihanchi in old age is a good interpretation of "Karate begins and ends with Naihanchi"
It can be kihon training as a beginner, and health training in old age.
