This is also a new form of martial arts home training. Try to search for martial arm in any engine to find it! This device is really a good Wooden Dummy Alternative Im going to get one to train my kung fu at home
he is a great karate-ka, he is around 60 years old in this video. the 3 katas he has developed are among the best shuri-te/Naha-te hybrid katas i've ever seen,
jesus christ people get real. use it in a fight against someone, tape it, and then its proof positive. o wait let me guess...there are too many rules in the ring? ok fair enough but are you telling me the only way you can win is by an eye gouge or groin strike becuase this form didnt have any of those
I am not knocking this karate man but eizo shimabukuro teaches this kata much different and the double block upper cut shown here is not going to be effective also leg sweeps are in the wrong place for the bunkai
While Sensei Shimabuku is a true example of karateka, your comment is completely out of order. Because you think you know what your Sensei does does not mean that you have the skill to criticize Mastuda Sensei kata. You should train more and talk less.
TUCKERTBALL, the kata he's performing here is obviously a Shorin Ryu interpretation of what we Shotokan people call Tekki Shodan. While I'm sticking with Shotokan version for my future training (it's been 29 yrs since I did Tekki Shodan at my green belt exam), I wouldn't call other style's interpretations "wrong" or ineffective. At the end of the day, that other style's practitioner might prove to be just as good a fighter as I am, or even better. Every seroious karateka has my respect.
@PanicusVulgaris Your comment needs clarification. Gichen Funikoshi studied Shorin-Ryu from Anku Itosu Yatsutsune. The kata is the first third of originally Matubu Choki's O Nihanchi; later thought in 3 parts. So "Tekki" is an interpretation of Nihanchi one. I am Renshi-dan and practiced mine this morning along with my Keon kata. Your statement has too many flaws to respect. The Shoto-Kan instructors I teach usually practice their Kata more frequently. Ous Shureikan-Shihan. Domo
your demanding respect after you say forget tito and the ufc bullshit? i dont think so..."this guy is a killing machine" you have never seen him fight!!! jesus christ your all pumped up over this karate man and you have never even seen him in an altercation. your mystified by karate like a little 5 year old watching bruce lee.
If you are a karate practitioner you wouldn't even call an average joe BS, I'm a black belt(2nd degree) in Kyokushin karate ,a black belt in aikido and started practicing Ju-jitsu 7 months ago, the more you fight and have experience the more humble and cautious you will be regarding other people.
What I'm sayin is, I'm pretty sure there's a big difference between an asian master who DEVOTED his life to martial arts (like Kyohide Shinjo)& a MMA fighter (tito ortiz)who fights for money & pride.
I'm a 2nd degree black belt in TKD & a black belt in shotokan.
An MMA fighter train to fight & a real master train to not fight.
If you are referring to the double block sequence of the Naihanchi kata, then you would be wrong, Bruce. Form does follow function, but perhaps not as you would believe it to be...
according to who's standards should this master and long time practitiner be judged? he was afterall a student of shuguro nakazato(student of chosin chibana) i believe.
buen video

If by work, you mean developing basic techniques and creating ability to generate power, then the answer is yes.
If by work you mean, will this work on the street? Not if you follow it step for step... unless you are constantly attached from the side... ;)
Here is a new word for you... bunkai...
