@TheReadySetShout. This is what the person said, "hahaha he is a failure, i have seen much better. hahaha him vs ip man or bruce lee." I'm fully aware that Bruce Lee studied Wing Tsun. Also, JKD is not a style, but a life philosophy and system.
I have never studied in karate, I have done taekwondo, kung fu, and capoeira along with basic training in plenty of styles via people who studied them. I follow more practical styles, kung fu was to train physically also it has some pretty good stuff, it was fun though. Kung Fu is effective and taekwondo I did specifically was effective. But I know plenty of martial artists, and there are a lot of shit everywhere, even in styles that are thought superior. I have a strong karate friend, very
In fact i do not train sport karate at all, but shotokai, my master refuses any competition and he really know what he does since he has dedicated his life to it.
But I´ll acept everything else you said because ill admit that i never asked my master about weapons, i assumed there were none because we never used one, well we use the bo thats all
@BushidoCode72 I'm not typing this to be a smart guy or anything. Just to say that if all you've seen of karate is from your local dojos and it looks like crap, it probably is. BUT, that's just because they're not REAL karate. It's not so world famous for nothing. You just have to know where to look, and sometimes that can be pretty hard with all the shit out there.
Again, i'm not trying to be confrontational here, just trying to inform you.
@BushidoCode72 stances are ONLY used for the moment of impact. and that impact is famously deadly. in Shotokan, we practice to get to a level of "Ikken Hisatsu", or "to kill with one strike". And Shotokan in particular is famous for its incredibly explosive speed and power.
I've met and trained with REAL Shotokan masters, and they're fucking scary. they could kill you as fast as you can blink.
@BushidoCode72 if you someone says there's no grabbing moves or throws in karate, they're probably not very good at it. if they say everything's block and then strike, they're probably not very good. if you see someone that knows karate fight and they're standing in stances and blatanly/noticeably using a basic block, they're probably not very good.
Real karate, Shotokan in particular i think (just my opinion), is INCREDIBLY dangerous. There are no actual "blocks" in karate. they're all strikes
No one is doing anything 'wrong.' JKA - Shotokan and most Karate systems (be they Okinanwans or Japanese - which are watered down Okinawan) are all VERY outdated. Their principles of blocking, and punching are just plain NOT RIGHT. That is why the majority of traditional Karateka would LOSE QUICK to anyone with very very very basic boxing or even wrestling. Even Funakoshi wrote about the importants of grappling in his book Karate-do My way of Life.
In a real fight to defending his life, who has the winner's advantage: A master of karate with full knowledge of kata's bunkai and makiwara experienced or a Wing Chun master trained in wooden dummy (mudjong). In your opinion who's the one that would survive?
A legendary Karate master has traveled to the future from the past to teach his secret martial art to the next generation of warriors. However, Youtube is standing in his way of keeping his lethal skills secret. Now the country of Japan must back one of their finest warriors - from the past!
martial arts is self defense and to protect other people,not to kick some ass !!!!!!!
it's true that there are jutsu that can kill with one strike,it's forbidden and only can be used with sensei's permission of course.no offense but the western people(mostly but not all of them) do the martial arts only for style(some for show off),they actually don't understand the true meaning of martial arts.unlike the asians(japan,china,korea),we do understand it.let us show some discipline n respects.
@gtisthebest247 sorry you dont know what you are talking about,Karate is about developing mind and spirit and self defence of others its not about winning its about self preservation.,real karate contains all the elements of fighting throwing grappling,tactics weapons,in the end its not the style that wins its the man,sport Karate is something else maybe thats what you are comparing wrestling with,
an experience karateka with the will to survive would not be easy to be defeated
@retardedjoe12 I said it's a good philosophy didn't I? I also said it's not good for fighting which is basically what you just said, " its not about winning its about self preservation..."
You just made the points I've made but more in depth. Please don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about if you're going to make the same points as me.
@retardedjoe12 I do not think REAL KARATE (whatever that is) contains anything of any value if faced with anyone who knows how ot fight. Kyokushin guys, and some offshoots of Kyokushin, have actually begun cross training in Muay Thai and boxing. Yes, some Shotokan masters also hold black belts in Judo. But, karate on it's own is very very limmiting with 80% NOT having any real world application.
@gelliebellieful A failure, huh? One, you are comparing a Shotokan Karate specialist to Wing Chun specialists. Two, you probably know NOTHING about the JKD philosophies that Bruce Lee emphasized on. Three, you most likely have no background on martial arts whatsoever and still have the guts to call a JKA instructor a "failure". I have absolutely no authority to limit what you want to say, but I advise you to think before you embarrass yourself and disrespect Asai and the JKA.
@xDavidlol you need to look at your history,all karate systems used weapons at one time ,even funakoshi,those that dont now,have not been taught their teachers probably didnt know,empty hand is nothing to do with the fact you dont have a weapon.
what some of you guy who are knocking karate,forget that all karate systems did at one time use throwing, locks, aremi mine certainly does,fights are not won in the ring fighting for real is totally different to sport Karate,
i am in awe of all sensei, sensei Davey Royle could probably rip my arms off, or kill me with a single stroke, with karate, you pay attention, you stand rapt in awe as you see your sensei performing Kata, a sensei is a great role model, there is no better
Age doesn't matter because ones body is like water
you can freeze it and sculpt it to the most beautiful thing but if you leave it and do not tend to it, it will melt and return to water. Experience is what makes a master a master not Age
@ColossusPn I do shotokan as well. I am a black belt, and may i tell you the road was not easy. It takes a lot of work and dedication to get to the rank of black belt. I wish you luck in your quest to achieve this rank, and remember- achieving your mastery is a new beginning, not the end. Live Shotokan.
I love this video. This is how karateka fights. Not jumping around and doing western boxing like nowadays. This one is original karate way of sparring.
i did tae kwon do wen i was young. bcause of job oppurtunities i had to stop wen i was 17. ive been sittin behind a desk 4 along time now. but i joined a kenpo karate dojo last year just got my purple. no matter how old u r jus something bout martial arts makes u feel good
@elchicho25 well you have to got to do your best to make sure that does not happen Shotokan/Shotokai is in my opinion the best Karate to learn because it can be quite lethal. What martial art do you do?
@Cannibal600- shotokan is no better than any other form of karate. and the focus on strength will not work for all people (that's strength with techniquebefore you say anything).
@ajdaemon08 I understand what your saying you must practice anouther form of Karate which is fine, i have always felt more comfortable with Shotokan/Shotokai rather then something like Freestyle. But then again i guess all different forms of Karate has advantages and disadvantages.
@Cannibal600- certain styles work better for certain people, and that goes within karate. unfortunately there's no shotokan dojos around where i live, but one day i'll give it ago.
@eidlyn spoken like a complete novice, everyone knows thats bollox.Its a philosophy derived from one strike 1 kill of the samurai swordsman.Karate in the vast majority of schools is a poor form of self defence.Judo at least has contact ,full resistance and will if you take it seriously get you very strong and fit.
@billysue2 hah! you underestimate the power of shotokan- it's true killing with one strike is not taught, but it is far from a poor form of self defense. you speak like one that only uses martial arts as a way to get fit, not as a lifestyle. Judo has too many flaws- primarily that it is almost impossible to fight more than one person using it- you apply all your force to one person. Karate teaches one to apply full force to as many people surround you using blows, more effective than grapples.
@billysue2- judo isn't very good for self defence through, the gripping leaves you very open to strikes, and the stance leaves you open to groin strikes.
it's amazing how cordial and helpful all the comments on karate sites are. you should see how stupid and nasty the comments are on mma, and boxing sites.
Because some of the basic things for a Karateka are education, respect, honor, cordiality and be a person with a heart, spirit and soul cleans, like his mind...
There´s only one thing that can change this good ambient. The typical comment about "my martial art is better" That kind of comments that I never understand.
Is simple... Feel free to do what you want and respect other elections...
hahaha it is never too old for martial arts... If I remember correctly, I wasn't allow to train in certain exercises and techniques until I was older in my country because certain techniques required precise execution and power and most importantly how and when to use it. Your kid, you do not have that yet.
i have started a year ago, when i was 26. So what? All that talks about "i'm too old" are for lasy peoples. It's never too late for things that makes your life better. Of course, my style is not sport style. I'm practicing goju-ryu. And i found it's good for my health (mental and pshysic).
@kavolis so your 26 and in your physical prime and your saying your so great because your better than those people that say there "too old". LMFAO that shit is for guys that are 40+ and your trying to say your better than their excuses? hahaha you self righteous faggot.
@majin2912 you actually started @ 42??? I'll be 44 soon, did lots of running, and I used to be a close-combat instructor in the army, many years ago! what do you think? I take my girls to the dojo and watch every lesson, but the threshold is just too high for me...and yet it itches soooo bad...
@allesinmetaal yeah and I just got my yellow belt last weekend. I work at it every day so I'm moving along quickly. I must mention that I studied Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu when I was younger so I'm not a neophyte where MA is concerned.
@kavolis goju ryu is pretty damn good. And when they say your too old it just means it will take longer to develop flexibility. Thats odd because I practice goju ryu with sensei frank clayton and we do it sport wise but I still win against stronger better people cause his technique is very good.
@kavolis U ARE SO RIGHT, SO RIGHT, I LIKE THE WAY U TALK, JUST ONE THING, U SAY YOUR 28, WELL I AM 50 AND I CAN OUT TRAIN ANY 28 YEAR OLD UNLESS THEY ARE A PROFESSIONAL
@kavolis you right, i'm 25 yrs old,brown belt in kyokushinkai karate, i have great sempai,he is 55 yrs old and kick my ass in every kumite,doing good tameshiwari anytime,and u know what he started training when he is 33 yrs old,learn karate from zero, soo like what u said "too old " only for weak people,osu
@kavolis older age is better to start learning the arts. your body has ceased growing, therefore helping you master your carnal shell much faster than if you begin at a younger age. Also, your level of spiritual and mental involvement is much higher around this age. Drive on with your journey. "Every great spiritual metamorphosis, begins with a physical metamorphosis"
@kavolis Don't worry about being 26!! I started at 25 with on and off martial arts experience before hand and after training 5 or 6 days a week for a couple years I was able to handle guys that had fought at the shoto cup. I don't train for sport either. Budo style for me. Just train hard. You make the most progress in the first few years after that it's just a lot of technical polishing and sharpening your fighting mindset.
@oboroshogun you're right, I started practicing shotokan karate half a year ago. Now I have the 6th Kyu, but it's all about the mindset, not the age when you start to practice. When your mindset is good, your karate will be good as well.
Some of the best martial artists in the USA started when they were 27-30 now much much older but that was in the 70's. Those guys still kick ass so you are completely right, its never to late to start.
@kavolis Couldnt agree more. I studied/practised Karate for 5 yrs as a youngster (9-14 yrs of age), now I'm 34 and plan on getting back into it. I made those same excuses myself over the years...not any more though.
I started when I was 6... I left Karate with 17 because of work, studies and most things... Started again with 22 and left finally after a year. Now I have 26 and think all the days about karate. I need Karate in my life and still doing movements or thinking about katas whe I work.... KARATE IS THE BEST OF THE DRUGS AND IN THE END... A WAY OF LIFE. IF YOU DON´T FEEL LIKE THIS, YOU DON´T FEEL KARATE.
@PrAmAtHa I agree with you, I am old and been in a car`accident and cannot do the kicks I use to do, but until now in my old age I still think about Karate everyday and teach it to those who are serious, I have a mix of GojuRyu, WadoRyu, UechiRyu, in my time.........Osu!
The age is never a limit for an strong mind with strong convictions. Thanks for your response and I hope that you continue with your vision forever... Oss
i know what you mean. i used to live and breathe karate (shotokan). I trained six days a week and it was always on my mind too but then I got a job that required so many hours that i couldn't train. then i got hit by a car and now it's impossible for me to train. i miss it everyday.
Shotokan was my election too. What I practice all my life... =)
I´m really sorry for your accident. I hope that someday you will can practice Karate again. Continue with the spiritual part of Karate. Even more important that the physical part.
@PrAmAtHa 26 its not old my friend, this sport is the best, am 35 and i have a year practicing, and now like you say, its my drug i love it. help you in life.
@PrAmAtHa i 13 and i started when i was 12 or something i am studuing wado ryu i think its called i love martial arts even if im only 13 and have the yellow belti studuingat home with katas and different ways to train up speed and strength my karate trainer has told me that im an natural talent ( sorry for my bad english )
@sum41foreverown Your english is good, mine is bad! xD 13 years is a good moment for start. Don´t think that you are too young. I think that the more young that you are is the best to learn. You will have a good base and like in study... You have to take the habit and finally you will feel Martial Arts like a part of you and your life.
If you have a natural talent, take advantage of it. Don´t waste it... =)
@PrAmAtHa I started when I was 6, I quit Karate when I was 17 because I had to work, study, etc. I started again when I was 22 and left after a year. Now I'm 26 and all I think about is Karate! I need Karate in my life and I'm still doing the movements/formations or thinking about [the katas] while I work. KARATE IS THE BEST OF THE (Martial Arts?) AND IN THE END; A WAY OF LIFE! IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, YOU AREN'T ONE WITH KARATE!
I fixed it for you because your story is cool, bro.
i just started karate, and I love it, I am 15 years old, so I started pretty late, any chance for me to get to the best, i really want it, I wanna dedicate my life to it
fifteen isnt too late to start, never is too late. i started karate at about the same age. may i offer you some advice. two things. make sure that every strike you are taught is real, for example, kicks are meant to go through your opponent, not to them with a cool slapping sound. another thing is, branch out if you get the chance, do other martial arts as well, it will help you understand how to use your karate techniques better.
The sensei of my shotokan dojo started karate at 17 years old and now has his own dojo and is V dan so 15 is not late at all. And his dojo is really not a mc dojo!
SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U AT 9:10 SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU OR TALK TO YOU ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR ASK YOU OUT BUT HERES THE CATCH Send To 3 vids
Technique is more important than style(s). The style system was invented to keep masters on top and students beholden to them.
Belts are to hold your pants up. There are 2 parts to fighting: theory and application. You must meet some physical requirements for application that can't be met online.
Otherwise, training alone is better than not training at all but it's no substitute for a good school.
I think even Bruce Lee would disagree with that statement. That's why he was always trying to improve his art. I always wondered what he would think of what's going on in terms of MMA today. For all practical purposes, he's the father of it.
Bruce lee was a film star by the way like Hulk hogan and the undertaker.
There were many martial arts masters at the time of bruce lee but they did not have the opportunity to be like bruce lee or maybe they were not handsome like him.There are many masters nowadays and no body knows about them.
bruce lee was the creator of Jeet Kun Do in case you didn't know, and he was a teacher of martial arts on top of being a film star. He also had a very deep philosophy for martial arts that he considered to be just as

@elchicho25 well you have to got to do your best to make sure that does not happen Shotokan/Shotokai is in my opinion the best Karate to learn because it can be quite lethal. What martial art do you do?

@Cannibal600- shotokan is no better than any other form of karate. and the focus on strength will not work for all people (that's strength with techniquebefore you say anything).
ajdaemon08 1 year ago
@ajdaemon08 I understand what your saying you must practice anouther form of Karate which is fine, i have always felt more comfortable with Shotokan/Shotokai rather then something like Freestyle. But then again i guess all different forms of Karate has advantages and disadvantages.
Cannibal600 1 year ago
@Cannibal600- certain styles work better for certain people, and that goes within karate. unfortunately there's no shotokan dojos around where i live, but one day i'll give it ago.

do shotokan karate or judo. two really great martial arts. Shotokan they teach you to kill a person with one strike.
eidlyn 1 year ago
@eidlyn spoken like a complete novice, everyone knows thats bollox.Its a philosophy derived from one strike 1 kill of the samurai swordsman.Karate in the vast majority of schools is a poor form of self defence.Judo at least has contact ,full resistance and will if you take it seriously get you very strong and fit.
billysue2 1 year ago
@billysue2 hah! you underestimate the power of shotokan- it's true killing with one strike is not taught, but it is far from a poor form of self defense. you speak like one that only uses martial arts as a way to get fit, not as a lifestyle. Judo has too many flaws- primarily that it is almost impossible to fight more than one person using it- you apply all your force to one person. Karate teaches one to apply full force to as many people surround you using blows, more effective than grapples.
lightningunner 1 year ago 13
@billysue2- judo isn't very good for self defence through, the gripping leaves you very open to strikes, and the stance leaves you open to groin strikes.

hahaha it is never too old for martial arts... If I remember correctly, I wasn't allow to train in certain exercises and techniques until I was older in my country because certain techniques required precise execution and power and most importantly how and when to use it. Your kid, you do not have that yet.

@kavolis older age is better to start learning the arts. your body has ceased growing, therefore helping you master your carnal shell much faster than if you begin at a younger age. Also, your level of spiritual and mental involvement is much higher around this age. Drive on with your journey. "Every great spiritual metamorphosis, begins with a physical metamorphosis"

@kavolis Don't worry about being 26!! I started at 25 with on and off martial arts experience before hand and after training 5 or 6 days a week for a couple years I was able to handle guys that had fought at the shoto cup. I don't train for sport either. Budo style for me. Just train hard. You make the most progress in the first few years after that it's just a lot of technical polishing and sharpening your fighting mindset.

@oboroshogun you're right, I started practicing shotokan karate half a year ago. Now I have the 6th Kyu, but it's all about the mindset, not the age when you start to practice. When your mindset is good, your karate will be good as well.

fifteen isnt too late to start, never is too late. i started karate at about the same age. may i offer you some advice. two things. make sure that every strike you are taught is real, for example, kicks are meant to go through your opponent, not to them with a cool slapping sound. another thing is, branch out if you get the chance, do other martial arts as well, it will help you understand how to use your karate techniques better.

Technique is more important than style(s). The style system was invented to keep masters on top and students beholden to them.
Belts are to hold your pants up. There are 2 parts to fighting: theory and application. You must meet some physical requirements for application that can't be met online.
Otherwise, training alone is better than not training at all but it's no substitute for a good school.

I think even Bruce Lee would disagree with that statement. That's why he was always trying to improve his art. I always wondered what he would think of what's going on in terms of MMA today. For all practical purposes, he's the father of it.

yeah more than likely. I forgot what movie that was that said you can learn all the styles you want but you wont be able to master them all.
I believe it always depend on the person and not the style.

Bruce lee was a film star by the way like Hulk hogan and the undertaker.
There were many martial arts masters at the time of bruce lee but they did not have the opportunity to be like bruce lee or maybe they were not handsome like him.There are many masters nowadays and no body knows about them.

bruce lee was the creator of Jeet Kun Do in case you didn't know, and he was a teacher of martial arts on top of being a film star. He also had a very deep philosophy for martial arts that he considered to be just as
