As a Karateka and an avid fitness person, I incoporate hojo-undo training into my routine using modern workout equipment. Thanks for sharing the video.
You guys are right on track. On Okinawa they use all kinds of improvised train tools. Like old tires for fingertip and knuckle toughening. Flipping old tractor tires for strength. Thanks guys. Osu.
+Andree K Great point! Okinawans are a very resourceful people as can be seen through their history of adaptability and weathering change, thank you for the comment!
+Strein86 Thanks! We always feel if it's easy enough to make then there's no point to shell out an excess amount of money on exercise equipment, glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I like your use of the rubber tubing. I use old bike inner tubes for some exercises. I'll have to try that one you showed. I also love that throw bag. I'm looking forward to making one for myself.
+Sean Ledig thanks, we're glad you enjoyed it! Our whole goal for this video was to inspire others to create new methods of training or take ours for their benefit so this is great to hear!
Another very thought-provoking vid. Im interested to see what you both have in terms of prior martial arts experience, or is it just karate? Thanks as always
+James Holt Independently we've both trained in various martial arts since childhood (kung fu, judo, karate, brazilian jiu jitsu, muay thai, etc.). The past decade has been primarily karate and more recently we've focused on traditional Okinawan karate and have placed all of our energy into developing a method to rediscover it's functional roots. I believe we have decided upon Okinawan Karate, specifically Shorin-Ryu as our vehicle for change and here we are :) Thanks for the question and as always thank you for the support
Years ago I was in the place, what I did was look for the better teacher. Anything can be a great martial art, but bad teacher? It'll never be great. Some people like a transferable martial art. Like I'd say karate is more holistic, more well rounded maybe. But good wing chun teacher? wa!! Maybe different 🙇
+jmperlin It was this exact one: amzn.com/B0091ME7Q6 40lb resistance weight and gofit brand although we are sure that any brand or weight should be sufficient. The loop was made to be a little smaller than the width of the shoulders so that the hands would have to work to push apart the loop. Hope that helps!
+Tom Marker Ha! We were wondering if anyone would comment on the lawn, maybe a "karate and gardening video" should be made soon. Thanks for the comment!
these are the same as the makiwara when it was invented. dont see things as "new", embrace anything thathelps in battle. whats old is new, and wisdom on new waza is crucial imho.
I like the bruce lee philosophy which say the aim of jeet kundo is simply to simplified .....if someone graps you punch him and he will let go..no point in trying to take someone down....involving so many moves....

Thank you for uploading the video. I really liked Stability Ball, it goes very well with goju ryu sticky hands. Take care and be well.
As someone fond of improvisation, I like these DIY McGyver adaptations. : )

Im thinking of joining a Shito Ryu Dojo in my area would these drills and concepts be applicable to that style as well?
depends on the school and the instructor, hope you were able to check out the school!

Hi
I’m new to martial arts but I can’t decide if I should study wing chun or karate? Any suggestions? Btw great video!

What was the length of the resistance tube you used?
+jmperlin It was this exact one: amzn.com/B0091ME7Q6
40lb resistance weight and gofit brand although we are sure that any brand or weight should be sufficient. The loop was made to be a little smaller than the width of the shoulders so that the hands would have to work to push apart the loop. Hope that helps!
looks like you could stand to do some training with a push mower. ;)

Lmao
эти двое умеют приспособить различные придметы под офп и навык офп под каратэ,

Osu!
