how can people think this stuff works in a real fight? too unrealistic. first you never put your hands down in a real fight.least of all not down to your waist. you're leaving your face wide open for punches. next, never spread your legs that wide, you will move slower. and what if your opponents take you to the ground? karate doesn't work on the ground.
@crustylion321 lol you've got to be kiddibg me!!! I've traubed karate for 8 years abd have a brown belt, and i am 12 years old. With my shotokan i've knocked down very many fifteen year olds!!!! Point: you sir are wrong
Ive been a boxer for 3 months and I can say karate is ineffective in a street fight. I knocked out over 25 blackbelts in kyokushin, and various types of martial arts. You guys need to get with the program and stop doing useless martial arts lol
@crustylion321 it's not the art. it's the fighter that's ineffective. as a boxer you might have an advantage when you're fighting against someone standing using only fist but what happens when you're on the ground with your opponent? does that make you're art ineffective or you? to me, every art in martial art is limited by itself but combine them and you can be deadly. also gotta be fit. those blackbelts suck.
@crustylion321 25 blackbelts in 3 months? you have been fighting a blackbelt in a knock out match on average once every 3 days since you started and won by knock out every time? HAHAHAHA...ha ha. Damn you win the bullshitting competition mate. Tell you what I'm with a karate dojo in london called DKK. I've got a friend called Dyson Roberts, he is only a green belt but he likes a challenging fight. drop us a line and I'll see if I cant get a little match set up. Whatdya say?
@JSOBRALNETOFLOYD Actually, shotokan was invented in the late 1700's by a blind man who didnt know how to fight. Shotokan is the most ineffective form of kung-fu and every other fighting style beats it.
@crustylion321 1) its not kung fu at all, its a japanese style not chinese. 2) it was invented in 1939 by a bloke called Gichin Funakoshi. 3) it was developed with the idea of remaining relevant in modern society as a platform for self improvement (dicipline, fitness, positive attitudes etc) not just as a fighting art. 4) you ever heard of Lyoto Machida? a mma fighter who fights with...you guessed it Shotokan with a record of 17 wins to 3 losses. ergo you fail on every point sir
The stance is purely to build strength in the upper legs. I think some karate punches are effective but the way they are practiced could be better so yes you have a point there.
Great video I do Wado but have a great respect for Shotokan unfortunately most big organizations are mcdojos. When I started training karate was pure and money and profit had nothing to do with it. I love to see someone tell terry oneil karate was just show.
The techniques are preformed clinically I see no violence in this video. It is a far cry from the actual reality of training in the JKA instructors session. Usually Junior Dan grades end the session by mopping the sweat and blood from the DOJO floor. Many of the critics show an ignorance of Shotokan. There is a complete difference between BASIC training and Kumite. The training from lower stances is to develop speed and power in movement. All else is to ingrain correct technique in combat.
I have never studied Shotokan, I have a background in Wing Chun & Tai-Chi for the most part, but I advise anyone who says that Shotokan is useless to go against a Shotokan practitioner before opening their mouth, I have sparred against Shotokan and Okinawan karate praactitioners in my young days and it was all I could do to hold them off, all martail arts are good if taught and imparted correctly
@talon115 training with controlled aggression only the first level of Karate. And yes people do get attacked in my ways, including being punched to the face
I've only started commenting on these videos but the power displayed in the knockdowns in kumite speak volumes. Watching the Japanese perform on video clips and at courses encourages me to keep trying to improve my own karate,surely thats the point of studying and training.
@C0DPLAY3R69 Not really. I've been doing karate for six years and I don't have one. some dojos just give away their blackbelts (they are dubbed mcdojo) but with a real school it can take many years to gain a blackbelt.
But I'm an open mind martial artist, I like every style of fighting! The most powerful style of fighting doesn't exist. There are only good and bad Sensei!
Saying that karate is inferior to other martial arts is BS.
i know a karate sensei who could used a single point fist to knock out a misbehaving student. Funakoshi said that Itosu's spear hand thrust went through the rib cage of a freshly killed pig.
Funakoshi said to know yourself and the enemy before a fight, which is basically like knowing their weaknesses. Play by your strengths and their weaknesses.
Sorry if I don't reply for the next couple days, will be out of town.
The notion that karateka can kill with one punch is a huge myth that did more damage to karateka than good. Funakoshi was referring to Bubishi - interpretation of kata based on accupuncture circule of destruction. Japanese KNOW NONE OF THAT and do not teach it. In fact, the human body is MUCH stronger than even Funakoshi knew. He himself had never been in a single physical altercation. He says so himself in his book Karate-do My Way of Life. Learn karate, Learn boxing, Learn wrestling.
@ACHi11iES You guys can't do Muay Thai in Australia???? I heard you guys can't even own bb guns too. I feel bad for you seriously. And Shotokan is a great. Don't call it a substitute, but it can give you just as much phsyically and mentally as any other martial art.
What I like about Muay Thai is that the blows are really powerful, and they also teach you counter attacks and exploiting other people's weaknesses. Unfortunately, it seems to lack defensive block techniques, but I'm more of an offensive fighter anyways, so that's not really an issue.
Karate, on the other hand, seems really versatile. Honestly though, how powerful is Karate?
@ACHi11iES It's not the art, it's the practitioner. If you keep your head down and train, any martial art will be powerful. And offensive fighter isn't exactly a proper term... I think you're trying to say ur a pressure fighter. And I don't do Muay Thai, but I've seen many blocking and slipping techniques employed by Thai boxers. If you truly want to be versatile, train in mixed martial arts because there is no such thing as an ultimate or complete style. The best is to train in several.
I have tried Mix Martial Arts, and unfortunately, I wasn't really satisfied with it. During the classes, all I ever did was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and we didn't really focus on punches and kicks too much.
I wouldn't mind a bit of ground fighting skill, but I definitely prefer fighting on both my feet (hence Boxing, Muay Thai, Karate, Taekwondo, etc) and not taking it to the ground like most MMA fighters do.
@ACHi11iES A karateka (karate practioner) can kill a man in one strike. Gichin Funakoshi, who was the father of modern karate and can be seen at the end of this video, said that no form of fighting can be considered a martial art if it lacks the ability to kill in one blow.
@MedievalKninja I can assure you that NONE of the men on this video could kill anyone who had ANY physical training. These guys would get KOed by any boxer with less than a year experience, get taken down and beaten by anyone with highschool wrestling experience, and get destoryed by any Muay Thai. This had been proven in multiple events. I admire their skill, but it is outdated, and against a skilled opponent, has no value. Maybe against an average Joe, it can work.
Think of this... They are just sports, they are games. If I wanted to kill someone, I'd use a weapon,like every human being has since time began. Is football BETTER than soccer?They are different GAMES.If push came to shove I'd put the football in a rocket and send it across the field at 1000 MPH.Just like if push came to shove I woulden't wrestle you, I'd blow you up with a missle...Wrestling may work against another sport, but the human brain would shoot the crap out of a wrestler with an AK47
No offence brother, but I don't think it's possible for ANY martial art to kill in one blow (unless you use a knife). After all, I don't think ANYONE has actually witnessed someone kill another person in one strike.
Technically you could... I'm training to be a Chiropractor and I know that physically... Punching someone in the back of the head, throat and spine, they technically could die. If you 12 to 6 (bring elbow up and slam it down vertically) elbow someone in the spine or top of the head, they can die. Also the human body can easily generate enough force to collaps the wind pipe. Plus if you count locks and chokes. You can (obviously) choke someone to death, or get them in a spine lock to kill them
Yeah you're totally right. There's lots of martial arts that teach those moves. We all have the same body, there's only so many ways to effectively generate an attack, that's why most martial arts look pretty similar and have similar moves.
@ACHi11iES Well, you must not read the news... here in my country, one man got killed by a single punch to the head. Another one died after one punch to his throat. And still more, there was this guy who received a very strong strike, probably a kick, to his chest. The broken bones crushed his heart. I don't know if the ones who killed those people were trained fighters, but the point is, that people can actually die from a single strike. Thi is no theory, is reality, and you can't change it.
I was a part of this beaty of selfcontrol and self awareness. Until one unskilled guy make me spine trauma and I had to leave it. I spent 10 years with Shotokan, it's in my heart, it's in soul, it's in my life. I want to show great respect to all great masters of karate. RAY
my master mimicry skills of other martial arts makes me GREAT GREAT I TELL YOU
of coarse my original martial art is the best out of all but of coarse its more of the fighter that counts......still...im awesome is the ist of what im getting at here,,,
I wud like 2 visit Japan cuz of Karate. I practice karate for 10 yrs. I got new kimono verified from WKF :) It's amazing feeling. I want 2 go on world competition ship!
Ive seen this video hundred times, and i never got tired to apreciate the beuaty on it. I am a Shito kai man , but I enjoy with naked eyes and not any stile point of view, I just see karate, discipline, respect and beauty
Great respect from Indonesia, I'm a silat practitioner...karate is always impress me... please check a video entitled "harimau singgalang volume 2" in youtube, that's an original silat from my village...hope u like it..thanks for sharing
@rockleone121.. well unfortunately for us as humans we will never be perfect. all we can do is strive to be the best we possibly can in martial arts and in life as well. remember the true value of martial arts is to become a better person everyday.
Hi everyone! Im a Karateka from Vietnam and I love Karate so much! At the moment Im looking for Kata style- Karate Gi that made in Japan. If you know anyone who sold it online or had an old second-hand gi please contact me. Thanks you very much ! ~Long :D
People don't get Kata because they don't have imagination. If you want to explore technique then Kata is essential. Kata gives you unique insight into the foundation of your Karate Style. Its like saying only training full contact (to Kill) will teach you how to defend yourself. If that was the case we wouldn't have many students left.
I love karate, I have a black belt in Shotokan. And even though I now train in BJJ, I still like training in kata. I know people say “yeah kata isn't practical” Blah blah blah...I don't care. It helps me in my training that's all that matters. Who said I can't have a blue belt in BJJ and still train in Karate?
@momo200090 Wait, what? Dude I was being sarcastic. However, I saw your profile that you're in Belgium. Perhaps English is not your first language? I understand why there was a misunderstanding then...
Anyways, this videos very inspiring. Makes me wanna go out and practice karate right now!
its not the style that is any better then any other, its the technician who practices it. its not about the style its about the idividual. practice makes perfect nothing else.
Oh look! Mr. toolworks strikes again with his vast knowledge of how asian martial art sucks, and give your attention to 101ers77's life time research of how Karate, TKD and Kung Fu sucks compare to Muary Thai and Kali!
What would us martial artists ever do without pioneers like you, toolworks and 101er77?!
Please teach us your ways and enlighten us from our seemingly hopeless idiocracy.
Face it, Karate, Kung Fu and TKD sucks, they're only good for demonstrations, not fighting. Even in martial arts movies, the trend nowadays is to use Muay Thai and Kali, so the fight scenes becomes realistic. Karate, TKD and Kung Fu are dead! They're nothing but McDojos.
With all due respect to all other Asian cultures, because I know how noble spirited they all are,....but to me, Karate seems the most noble and most serious art....
@kananyzap Every person has his/her own opinion. But it seems unfair why people don't appreciate Taekwondo, it was used by the Koreans to free themselves during the war. The Koreans were even banned to learn Taekwondo and Taekkyon by the Japanese. And today, it's one of the most hated arts across the globe for no reason.
@kananyzap I feel bad for Taekwondo, it's being hated for nothing. I wanna see those haters fight a Taekwondo Pro like Cung Le or Anderson Silva and let them see how it feels.
@toolworks That is not very polite nor accurate. Karate and other Martial arts have been around for years and have survived and been very useful. Not to mention not only does it involve more than just punching someone, but kicking, takedowns, throws, joint manipulations etc. Also, keep it mind, boxing, MMA and all that derived from techniques from Martial arts. And Karate is just that, an ART, which deals with inner health, spiritual development, centered, and energy balance, not just fight
@toolworks Your niece has nothing to do with this, or her age. Yes, this is an art, a Marital ART. It is about balance, spirituality, inner peace and proper energy flow. That is why meditation is essential to studying karate, or any other traditional martial art. You don't have to like it, but why be rude as to say it is pure crap? I wouldn't say that about boxing, because I know it's all about the practitioner, not the martial art style. Show respect, get respect.
how can people think this stuff works in a real fight? too unrealistic. first you never put your hands down in a real fight.least of all not down to your waist. you're leaving your face wide open for punches. next, never spread your legs that wide, you will move slower. and what if your opponents take you to the ground? karate doesn't work on the ground.

oh please ... use your time, you seem to waste in being over and over such discussions a hundred times, in training.
style is a way, a year of training is a day's march.
and if you still think it's a matter of style, leave your sofa and get real.
because my opinion is, the much you get experienced in budo, the much your interests change why you do martial arts.
and i meant budo, not combat.

Hi everyone! Im a Karateka from Vietnam and I love Karate so much! At the moment Im looking for Kata style- Karate Gi that made in Japan. If you know anyone who sold it online or had an old second-hand gi please contact me. Thanks you very much ! ~Long :D

People don't get Kata because they don't have imagination. If you want to explore technique then Kata is essential. Kata gives you unique insight into the foundation of your Karate Style. Its like saying only training full contact (to Kill) will teach you how to defend yourself. If that was the case we wouldn't have many students left.

I love karate, I have a black belt in Shotokan. And even though I now train in BJJ, I still like training in kata. I know people say “yeah kata isn't practical” Blah blah blah...I don't care. It helps me in my training that's all that matters. Who said I can't have a blue belt in BJJ and still train in Karate?

Oh look! Mr. toolworks strikes again with his vast knowledge of how asian martial art sucks, and give your attention to 101ers77's life time research of how Karate, TKD and Kung Fu sucks compare to Muary Thai and Kali!
What would us martial artists ever do without pioneers like you, toolworks and 101er77?!
Please teach us your ways and enlighten us from our seemingly hopeless idiocracy.

Face it, Karate, Kung Fu and TKD sucks, they're only good for demonstrations, not fighting. Even in martial arts movies, the trend nowadays is to use Muay Thai and Kali, so the fight scenes becomes realistic. Karate, TKD and Kung Fu are dead! They're nothing but McDojos.

@kananyzap Every person has his/her own opinion. But it seems unfair why people don't appreciate Taekwondo, it was used by the Koreans to free themselves during the war. The Koreans were even banned to learn Taekwondo and Taekkyon by the Japanese. And today, it's one of the most hated arts across the globe for no reason.

mike123asd 4 months ago
@toolworks That is not very polite nor accurate. Karate and other Martial arts have been around for years and have survived and been very useful. Not to mention not only does it involve more than just punching someone, but kicking, takedowns, throws, joint manipulations etc. Also, keep it mind, boxing, MMA and all that derived from techniques from Martial arts. And Karate is just that, an ART, which deals with inner health, spiritual development, centered, and energy balance, not just fight

@MrJohnnySharp Hahaha, an art! My 6 year old niece is good at painting, but i could kick her ass with a right uppercut!
toolworks 4 months ago
@toolworks Your niece has nothing to do with this, or her age. Yes, this is an art, a Marital ART. It is about balance, spirituality, inner peace and proper energy flow. That is why meditation is essential to studying karate, or any other traditional martial art. You don't have to like it, but why be rude as to say it is pure crap? I wouldn't say that about boxing, because I know it's all about the practitioner, not the martial art style. Show respect, get respect.
