An all-female karate gym in Tehran caters to a wide range of girls and young women including pious girls under black 'chadors' and boisterous teens in colourful head scarves.
Well done ladies, I love that your training helps to enhance your self confidence! I wish more females would take up any of the arts or self defence. Good video, thanks for sharing.
Its so good to see woman practice and enjoy the art of Karate, limitations should never be an obstacle, Sensei you have done a great job in promoting Martial Arts in Tehran. well done
Hi, I'm the reporter who made this Karate video several years ago while in Tehran, and I'm glad to know it's had lots of views and encouraged discussion. I make it a point not to delete comments on my videos so that the online conversion can be open and free. But please refrain from any ugly or violent language. Teens and younger kids may be watching this and reading the comment thread, and I just want to keep it "clean" for them please. Thanks for watching.
This is actually the greatest karate video i've ever seen! It makes me love Karate even more...we are equal wearing that white gi. No matter if you wear a chador (as these girls) or a necklace with a cross (as meXD).
GOOD WORK GIRLS... I am from Malaysia, and I love the fighting spirit I see here! KEEP up the good work, and never let some silly comments on TH-cam discourage you!
... although the standard is not exceptionally high its a great story of karate spirit , and Iran mens team has been a strong country in Karate for many years , so the depth is there no doubt , so if the same opportunities to train are there for women in Iran , they can reach the same level too !
this country has SO MANY wonderfull karateka men's, so many specials dojo... And so big different in level, beatwin male and feemale. Give them good gim, let girl coach look at mens training.(in video, maby)...Make the program/ This girls will take many medals for country. They have raly strong spirit of karate. )) Whonderfull girl's. And thay have good parents ))) thank's them
@Muslimahrandori I also know i have much to learn. It must've been tough getting your black belt as it was for me getting mine. It's also good to hear that we're both muslims. I'm from Pakistan. Karate and martial arts is my only passion. So good to hear that you are a competent and successful Kareteka, please don't hesistate to give me tips as i try to keep an open mind about everything and i also learn from everybody...whether it be a man or woman. Thank you for taking the time to speak....
@mekaal You are right!!!! I am one of the highest ranked female karateka having been a full-contact champion in the 1960s and 70s. I am the only female black belt of the renowned hard style, the KA System of karate founded by my uncle Grand master Karriem AbdAllah. My only sparring partners were men because our drop out rate was 80%!!! Sparring was hard and fast with females having to hold their own. I will be putting up instructional videos in the nest few weeks and I hope you tune it. Ush.
the future is here, women should have the same right to do what ever they want... these women are absolutely amazing, they practice martial arts and still remember god.. i disagree with the girl that says women cant overpower men .. sadly she greatly underestimates herself.. god be with them all
you know, the disrespect towards the art....it does not matter where you come from...or your style...a true martial artist shows compassion towards others and their martial arts as well
@gigoelf 1.Hits and kicks aren't meant to be caught if they are executed correctly 2. You can fight at close range, elbows and knees. But in the end it all depends on who you are against. and situation.
@shogunsan21 My point was pretty clear, that in Okinawa and Japan the viewpoint of shodan is different from Western countries. It's not as big a deal to them, all shodan means is you've mastered the basics, and are ready to learn the deeper lessons. Several of Funakoshi own students received shodan after a couple of yrs when they were still young. Some in the West, we train up to shodan and think we've accomplishing something. But in their eyes that's actually when real training begins.
@detinmarin1 im a red belt,other words a karate master,i agree karate makes mind ,body and spirit one and give you great confidence,i was simply talking about how much more effective other styles are compared to karate,i wasnt saying anything remotely rude about these women.
@amandaraflesia I practice Northern Shaolin for 12 years, I'm a 2° black belt, then the instructors course, Tai Chi Chuan for 6 years, "The philosophy it self is from the heart, not uniform." eyes and hairs are not, but the veil is a "uniform". In martials arts a proper uniform is THE FIRST THING to have, the veil has nothing to do with Karate. Philosophies are not all equal, and in MARTIAL arts we are all equal, men, women, old people, children, rich, poor, all the same uniform.
@shogunsan21 In Okinawa there are seven-year-olds with shodan rank. It's not as big a deal over there as we see it in the West. Many in the West get their shodan or nidan, and think they've mastered their art. They may have learned enough to defend themselves, but mastery of an art something completely different.
@shogunsan21 And as far as the ladies in this video, it's a small-time school in a country & culture that would rather its women not engage in combat-related endeavors. It's a minor miracle that they even get to train at a men's gym! Perhaps if they had the same support that female karateka in other countries have, they could be world-beaters. It's a blessing they get to do something they obviously love. And honestly, if we're not going to go to Iran and help them, then we shouldn't complain.
@mmacritics What am I wrong about? I wasn't giving my opinion, just stating how things are done in Okinawa and Japan, and they invented it. Shodan means acheiving something to them as well. To them the achievement is you have mastered the basics, an experienced beginner. Up until sandan, progression in karate is primarily based on physical ability more than anything. Besides, there are some adult black belts that act worse than some children. Wisdom and maturity are not always based on age.
@mmacritics A child having a black belt is not as big a deal in Okinawa and Japan as it is to us Westerners. When you consider that a child's daily routine in Okinawa can be centered around school, where many PE classes are basically karate class, and then karate after school, they tend to progess much faster than Western kids. We see the black belt as the end goal of a certain stage of training, to them it's just the beginning, much like a baby who used to crawl and now is able to walk.
From what I've observed Iran has a large following a female karate students, especially in the Mas Oyama style. Due to their horribly oppressive religion the women and men can't train together. I think the ladies deserve full respect.
@deek77 I agree with what you say! I always tell my Students (Including myself) Karate is an ever ending journey with no end, we should see ourselfs as never good enough, never even thinking we are good! The biggest problem is; there are a lot of so called Karate Instructors in it for the money, so you are correct, bad teachers! But also sad for these girls! Regards Syl
@shogunsan21 I think what's also noteworthy of these young ladies is they know their weaknesses. Many of them want to be good enough, but doubt if they are at this point in their training. I'll take a karateka who is knows where and how much they fall short, over the one who's all too caught up in how good he/she is. Because if they're really that "good," then there is nothing more for them to learn, which means no more growth, and their path in karate has actually ended.
@Kenshi76 troll-lol-lol , first i dont know enough japanese to argue . From what i know budo means warrior, but whatever . There are infinite number of things to learn , languages are low on my priority list. That said im fluent in two languages . Honour and integrity are fine things , but Machiavelli had some interesting things to say about honour .
Iranians are often mistaken for arabs by westerners, they are actually persians, but anyway, as an arab, I wouldn t be able to distuinguish an arab from an iranian or an afghani , all have generally the same features
irarube. Iranin ant Arabs. We are iranin(Persians) whit own language (parsi).. Arab speak Arabic. Do you call Israelis for Arabs??? Did you forget about Bible and Persia and Persian kings?? Didn't we liberties Jews from Babylon?? You should know better!!! If you are not zionist troll!!!
@shogunsan21 No worries bro. I agree they could be much better, and ignorance is no excuse. But it's like the saying goes, there are no bad students, only bad teachers. The lady instructor here is a sandan, which is normally not high enough rank to be head of your own class. There should be someone, at least a godan, who should be giving her better training so she can give her students better training. But this was two years ago, hopefully things have changed for the better.
@deek77 Hi. Not sure what you are Saying? But as Gichin Funakoshi said " What often looks like Karate, is not Karate" And what I see here is Not Karate! Are you saying 'That after any length of time, anyone can be a Dan Grade?' So after 40yrs training or 3 weeks training a Dan Grade? Answer is no!
@mmacritics I mean you're free to disagree of course. Karate is highly subjective and personal experience, often colored by one's culture and philosophy. So I believe it's possible for you to have your views, they have theirs, and both can have a place in the martial arts community. There are certain cases where the children in a certain society may not be ready for shodan, and it may be different in other societies. It's all good, it just takes a sensei that is sensitive to those things.
Sorry. When you practice a martial art, you must respect its tradition and its philosophy, and its uniform, everywhere you are. The martial arts uniform, does not want the veil. Give veil to iranian men
@MrSayonara7777 What matters, is that to their husband they probablly look very beautiful with their eybrows, and you can stick to your openion. This is martial arts nothing to do with religion, all the same, they can be Christian, Jewish, Bahai, or athiest. The Islamic head-scarf is not a choice for them but a forcefull law, even if they hate it. Good luck!
@Kenshi76 "“The martyr (shaheed) has seven blessings from Allaah: he is forgiven from the moment his blood is first shed; ..... he will be married to seventy-two of al-hoor al-‘iyn; .” " yep Islam , religion of decency and sanity . ""In the Gardens of Paradise, Facing one another on thrones, Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine" oh really ? "Reclining upon the couches lined with silk brocade, " oh so you get silk couches in paradise now ? how materialistic .
@ThePersianAvA And from a muslim perspective it is not mixing there is no 'church and state' in islam Islam is a system, the rules and the guidelines encompass all, this seems strange to people who have little knowledge of it, however it is very easy, workable and successful as can be seen by the early muslim states which were actually run by islamic principles. The same way the Irish government can say be whatever religion or orientation you want but you cant grow weed and smoke it why?
@deek77 Your wrong, the black belt symbolises maturity and some kind of achieved goal in martial arts. A little kid does not have the wisdom or maturity to be able to earn a black belt, it's not all about technique it's also alot about the mind. What then masters in whatever country do when awarding their rankings is their business not mine. I just think it's wrong. //mmacritic
@Kenshi76 mate you wouldn't know basic logic for what it is even if it painted itself purple and held a sign saying logic is here . What's wrong with drinking alcohol , should i wait 'till my death until i can get wasted in the supposed paradise ? Im sure there is no gluttony involved during ramadan celebrations .
@lilblitz it's not my business. Don't mix every thing from physics, medicine,... to martial arts with religion, one can worship stones as far as he/she doesn't throw them at others, it's your private interest. Good luck
1. learn about the history of martial arts and it's origins. 2.being covered or wearing clothing is a respectable attribute. 3.Quit complaining about muslim women's scarfs! NINJAS dont complain of being covered or covering their faces. 4.QUIT BEING DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS ISLAM. WE KNOW MORE THAN SIMPLE KARATE.
@deek77 I understand what you are saying, but it needs to be said, Its bad Karate no matter where it comes from. In Japan itself there is bad Karate, but that is no excuse! Ignorance is no excuse!
@Kenshi76 "WHEN YOU EVLOVE, AND STOP HAVING YOUR "TEACHER" REBUTTAL MY STATEMENTS, THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE AT BECOMING A HUMAN BEING OF LOGIC. "They don't teach you how to make coherent sentences in marine core ?
Why do they need to cover their hair while doing sports inside a room with no men around ? This is much to warm. I am doing Martial Arts as well - as a woman you are dressed up much warmer than the men (because you wear bra and T-Shirt) anyway.
@Kenshi76 hmm you are aware that samurai from whom you claim your martial art originated from weren't very religion tolerating bunch ? Not to mention their pagan religion ..
This is why I sometimes respect Muslims. As they argue, females and males are not equal gender. Why, in the Western World, male martial artists are forced to spar with girls? Why they are the only ones who should be depicted as thugs? This is really ridiculous.
