    I used to go to this karate school that taught this style. My teacher was taught by a student of the third guy, Higaonna. I remember going to a some tournament that he was at, and we all got to shake his hand. I remember his hand being so callused that it felt like a rock.

    When I was young I trained in Oechi-ryu in Canada. It was very much a full contact 'hard' style and training was extreme to say the least. Nothing flowery about it. Kata is not intended to communicate real fight potential and anyone in martial arts knows this. It is merely a small portion of practice like muscle memory practicing guitar. We learn the most from the elders, specially in this instance with authentic Practitioners of 8-10th Dan. I appreciated this video very much, tks. The Okinawan styles are quite renowned.

    The first sensei with the strickes and direct kicks can be shuri-te, the second sensei can be naha-te, the third sensei can be tomari-te a combination of the before-mentioned

    this is very much like Shao Lin art and movement.
    very beautiful display of movement and peace.
    it also looks like the Chinese martial art Hawk style movement.
    i love this art Kata peaceful and beautiful.

      Okinawa where Karate developed was heavily influenced by Chinese martial arts so you can see a lot of Kung Fu moves and styles back in Karate.

      Well the form that I'm studying (shorin ryu) apparently if you put the characters together and translate them into Chinese it becomes shaolin
      (For the record shorin-ryu means little Forest way)

    • @afranks8566
      @afranks8566 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lyoto Machida was a light heavyweight. Bas Rutten became a heavyweight champion and one of the styles he trained in was kyokushin karate. Rutten also only weighed 205 pounds when he won the title so he was essentially a light heavyweight competing as a heavyweight.

    The videos of karate masters remind me Reikichi Oya and Gichin Funakoshi of Okinawa. Karate do Nymohn was read by E. J. Harrison and he was inspired to make the Britishers familiar with Karate do. Do means way in Japanese. Harrison was a great spirited man with the black belt in judo four Dan. There were no videos and mobile phones in sixties. Only printed pictures were available to learn katas like pinan Katas, pinan shodan, pinan nidan and so on.

      @mongolchiuud8931 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      John Turner only Goju ryu and toon ryu and partially shito ryu are crane based.
      Most shuri or shorin styles are southern Lohan or monk boxing based. While uechi ryu is almost straight up Yongtai tiger/crane boxing.

      @Amarthie 9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Tracker Buckmann There is an art to breathing when doing kata, whilst training with certain groups I've realised not many people use there breathing as they should. When doing a kata, your breathing should tense and un-tense you (as well as you tensing your muscles). Try this do the Suparinpe Kate, whilst just breathing normally, tense up your stomach and legs. In the stance of Sanchin Dachi (Pigeon Toe Stance). Now do it again, whilst going into the stand and blocking with your forearms as shown, breath in just before, and out as you are moving into said stance. You're body/muscles with be a lot more tense.

    So first I have to say it... the second guy literally went Master Roshi. I was confused and bewildered watching him change his physique like that. All I could think was "I'm such a dork but that's irl Kai-o-ken!"
    But seriously... I trained for a few years in Okinawan Shudokan, of the Toyama lineage. I've seen my own sensei perform the first and last kata. It's more impressive at the right speeds irl. But still amazing.
    But the second guy! My mind is blown

    With training, you can move faster than you can see, or think, or feel. If you can move faster than you can see you can move faster than your opponent can see. Fast movements of light parts carry more momentum than slow movements of heavy parts; contrary to intuition. A light punch at 100mph will transfer more energy than a forceful punch moving much slower.
    You find yourself dazed and on the ground before you even feel pain. Karate.
