    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.

    ... 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 !

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.

    @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.

    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.

  • @KenpoKid77
    @KenpoKid77 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

    "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.

  • @KenpoKid77
    @KenpoKid77 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

  • @KenpoKid77
    @KenpoKid77 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

  • @blackdragonkempo1647
    @blackdragonkempo1647 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @shogunsan21
    @shogunsan21 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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

  • @KenpoKid77
    @KenpoKid77 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

    @KenpoKid77 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @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.

    @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.

    @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?

  • @mmacritics

    @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.
