Video Karate Lessons : Karate Kata Three for Beginners

[MrTornado503]

all of the katas are for balance and muscle memory...

[MasterNinja1990]

Thats much better than the first boring kata in shotokan and most karate styles!

[chimaezea]

Brother, your form is off. you need to go back to the basics

[lt5933]

Apartment dojo? tht is NOT a reverse punch already

[lt5933]

Apartment dojo?

[loveforanimals51773]

hey dont make fun of the poor guy he just wants to teach us stuff

[ryanmccz]

Shouldn't he be teaching people how to use a gun? i don't feel safe taking self defence lessons from a black man. No Racial! ;)

[Maconda4th]

I dont mind this nice fella showing persons how to do a kata...but...not under the name' 'expert village'.....it takes the experts 20/30 years to have that title 'Expert' and even then they dont use it...we see them as the experts...

[rtyush]

Hi I'm jerome from the JKA england squad, I practice shotokan karate and I am assuming as said in the description you practice Shorin-Ryu.

However, I'm aware that some parts you have done, don't abide with the basic karate technique, such as your hikite and your stances.

I'm just warning you so you can improve on this.

Thanks.

[DJ1234666]

Taykyoko 1 idiot S M H nd thts not traditional FAIL ... i take tht back im hella sorry didnt watch the whole thing

[DJ1234666]

Taykyoko 1 idiot S M H nd thts not traditional FAIL ...

[Zim883]

His techniques are so clear and his stances are so strong and deep .... NOT. I like how he is doing "Age - Uke" .... 2nd degree black belt in his dreams :D

[NoKnockaKnee]

EPIC FAIL.

[dutty72]

and no bow to finish? Is he really wearing a blackbelt???

[eargrey]

ummm!  not to sure what to say?? "nidan" ??

[mrthebillman]

You couldn't even take on George Dillman! You Suck.You Are So Bad.You are an insult to martial arts. You are terrible. You stink. Did you just make that up as you went along? Did you just watch your first Chan movie? Really, What Is Up With You Goofballs!

[Michiru7690]

This looks like a shite version of Wado Ryu's Pinan Nidan. Try learning some karate before you post shit like this!

[superjunior118]

@Michiru7690 haha nice1

[markoman179]

where is the freakin hikate?????? this karate or watever it is is GARBAGE

[macktheknife888]

Bow down to him. Fuck off, i bow down to Allah, i'll kick him in the balls if he wants me to submit to him, Bow down to him, what an insult.

[MATTx602]

Haha. No

[kiretebicuke]

i´ve never seen a fat karate man

[Shadowbangg]

@kiretebicuke thats because they don't let you know they can do karate!

[joabsalesalves]

uummmm boiola........

[oChappieo]

yup crap !

[Shoreihito]

We call the exercise 'Taikyoko'.  Originally composed by Itosu Ankoh for teaching school-children. Our Shuri-ryu standard renders them slightly different. You encourage me to upload a properly executed H-kata. Give me about two or three weeks and you will find my video randition at SHOREIHITO channel.

[Shoreihito]

The reverse punch (gyaku-zuki) is called such because it originates off the BACK leg. If the back leg becomes the FRONT leg along with the punch, it is no longer called as reverse punch.

[Shoreihito]

Well.... What can I say? It has all been said already by others. It really is a good attempt for a beginner. One thing I can pick on is that the punches ARE NOT reverse punches.  If given the correct term, you could probably call them oi-zuki (lunge punch), but you would have to execute them properly. Best to just call them seiken-zuki (forefist punch).

[justjim2222]

don't even bother watching this very poor attempt at doing Karate it's an insult to the name of Karate instead to further your knoweldge watch and demenstration by Sensei Masao Kawasoe he is a legend.oss sensei

[threshold79]

almost like this guy is still going through training and showing everyone what he learns

[threshold79]

but beginners sshould be doing the first kata and breathing

[threshold79]

however its for beginners

[wheels687]

i agre with panicusVulgaris

[TheJK576]

dude ur punches and every thing look weak so it looks crapy if you do alot more sharper movments than it would look slightly better.

[WILKUxMETIN]

OMG! What shit is this?

You will never teach someone by video.

Your not doing it correctly.

[ihaterobbie123]

2:06 - 2:10

The kata NEVER teach excess movement, they are an excersise used to practice every possible movement needed for their respective art.

Instead of spinning around he could have just stepped left.

BTW the rest is total bs also.

[OkinawaShorinryu]

mant katas one spin around, example Pinan katas, fukyugata katas. It teaches cordination, balance.

[OkinawaShorinryu]

many katas have the spinning around into a block, such as the Pinan katas, Fukyugata katas.

[OkinawaShorinryu]

[amberswann1]

There is no way in hell this guy has been training for 12 years. 2nd Dan black belt ? He had either a wicked instructor or he is plain bad.

[MrDon275]

Expert village has good instructional videos. But this one is rubbish. And that was not a horse stance, but rather looked like a PANDA stance. Thanks anyway for ur effort.

[janettte101]

omg.

[gumbosauras12]

How is the knitting going????....Wouldn't mind betting that it beats your KATA

[gumbosauras12]

Must be a direct descendent of Daniel Son...LOL

[gumbosauras12]

Must be a member of Shite Ryu

[gumbosauras12]

Typical example of American Bastardised- do your own thing and charge a fortune , even though you wouldn't know how to spell the word Karate.

[csfiredawg77]

Please.............Stop!  Dont post tutorial videos.

[Anansi2009]

Personally I've just started out in Karate myself, and what I find quite surprising is how he doesn't explain how to use each kata move for a beginner, I've just graded to yellow belt, and I don't do Shotokan myself, but correct me if I'm wrong all Karate styles are different, but come from the same source, surely in any Kata you would do, i'm learning each situation should correspondent to each different kaka surely this is basis for all Martial Arts as well as Karate of all styles is not.

[forest9993]

i hope you are not taking money from people for this sh@t you are sooooooo bad, go take up knitting

[k1llwood]

wtf is this

[phillozoph50]

Fake karate ''master''.RUBISH,sorry mate but this is such a RUBISH!!!

[Labsnark]

Stance too high, zero effort into each move, poor form, and a huge and unstable wobble as he moves into each position. 12 years practice?!? I'd get slapped if my kata looked like this when I was training.

[hypnotix2000]

I find it very similar to elements from Chon-Ji and Dan-Gun TDK patterns

[ashyworth]

excuse me, but you have no way been training for over 12 years! Not one part of your karate is correct, please practice more before trying to post videos for others to learn from you

[krisfoshizzle]

what the hell kata was that stance and form white belt standard eeekkk

[10101964pb]

WOW. I hope people dont use this as a training tool and think they are learning karate. Your whole aproach to that so called attempt at kata is absolutely deplorable. Every aspect of that was weak, stances, punches and blocks. Dude take up macrame that way you can make your own belts...Fair dincum...

[tjennubuya]

You should really stop trying to teach karate. You have absolutely no understanding AT ALL of what karate is about, and especially what kata is about. It might just be a veeeery f'ed up way of karate you're practicing, but you have absolutely no idea what a proper stance is, nor how to use your entire body in a punch. Just me 2cents, so other people wont think that this is karate. Besides, what kind of gi is that anyway?

[robbieofdoom]

It is a bit..."not a gi" isnt it?

[BRANIC89]

WTF !!!

first of all that was KATA #1 which is haynshodan

2nd of all he forgot to do a specific move

3rd of all obviously he's white belt lool

and btw am black belt dan 2 so i am positive of what i said !!

[joshjc07]

that was horrible.

[ramroun]

this is not a karate kata. Even though they look almost similar.

regards...;-)

[baileym84]

funny at around 1.40 he looks over his shoulder one way, then spins all the way around the other way to do a soto uke, you can see the confusion on his face as he does it lol, not sure if its meant to be that way as i do wado ryu, but i know it doent look right :p

[robbieofdoom]

I'm from wado also...im not even sure whether the kata he's doing relates to any of ours...can't think of any. :P

[PanicusVulgaris]

Well...I'm with Shotokan, and I believe this MISERABLE NOTHING is some sick attempt to come up with some variation of Heian Shodan (Shotokan) or one of The Pinnan katas ( I wouldn't know axactly which Pinnan corresponds to Heian Shodan) of Wado Ryu. In any case, this "Nidan" should remove this from YouTube. This is a disgrace to Karate. I'm pretty sure any serious karateka, regardless of style feels the way I do about this "master" And I feel like throwing up while watching this :(

[amharjew1]

@PanicusVulgaris this guy is ok but, he looks like he can kick ass in the streets big black guy he probably grew up in the innercity im sure in a real street fight he go hard,some of you guys on here never been in a real street fight, i think he can kick plenty of your asses on natural ability alone and then when he add his karate watch out jack.

[bloodriotiori]

@PanicusVulgaris that's exactly what it is sir. I'm glad to see another educated Shotokan practitioner who feels like i do about these expert village idiots. I understand he's "demonstrating" things for us, but he clearly has no idea what he's talking about. The movements he does are close enough to that of which we practice in shotokan that we can easily see he's talking out of his ass :D

[fuckberrie]

@PanicusVulgaris yeah, look how he does the age uke and oi zuki, its so bad :DDDDD

[LynchGFX]

@PanicusVulgaris Completely agree with you there. Despite only being 6th Kyu in Wado Ryu, this was still painful to watch. Like a childrens version of our Pinan Nidan.

Plus, how are beginners supposed to learn correct stance with this video, as it's mentioned maybe twice, in the vaguest context. Considering the channel is 'expert' village, this really is a travesty.

[baileym84]

guys come on, clearly he's a white belt :p

[MeriGil1]

12 years? really????

[slacker300000]

hope hes not a black belt

[Nathan20467]

tis is very good

[dondereinziege]

loool fat sack

[zatoichi12345]

it follows the basic directions as the pinans,mainly nidan.i understand this is shorin ryu and that isnt my style but i think i can hear the sound of many masters turning in their graves.

[jpc0507]

While this guy does not appear to be an expert, his lesson was clear and concise. It seems to be a good kata to start with, especially if you only have a small room to practice in.

[1stdegreeblackbelt]

It looks like a Taekwondo form to me

It not a kata

[manushooter]

really bad...

[Zipidy2k6]

Is it me or are all his "reverse" punches lunge (spelling) punches?

[TwirlinMartha]

Oi tsuki (stepping punch) is not gyaku tsuki (reverse punch).

As far as technical ability I would grade this at 8th kyu (yellow belt).

[Ch3wza]

"karate kata three" ? i don't recall hearing about this kata... looks like a pinan though.

[PX125E]

I can only see middle punches, you stated there would be upper and lower punches.

[NoGoodInk]

Wow not to great lol

[cassavaeater]

this is the basic movement of Karate you can learn it in 10th kyu.

[GeRouge]

wooow im naked right now! 3

[mark2yzbun]

Where can I buy one? Do i just go to the martialarm website? it seems like a Shaolin Training Arm It will be good for jeet kune do and trapping hands

[stallione79]

koshinkai,

I have the opportunity to practice Goji-Ryu with some guys from church. What are the differences between Goji and Shorin-Ryu? I know they are the two main Okinawan disciplines. I need to resharpen my techniques. I think i will be practicing with these guys.

[stallione79]

I have a foundation in Shorin-Ryu. Kata was not taught in the forefront. Technique was the forefront. Application (sparring) was secondary. One kata was taught per belt testing. Shorin is awesome. I would like to find a school in the southeast US that teaches it.

[koshinkai]

By the way, this in no way looks like Shuri-te Shorin Ryu. The foot movements are signature to Tang Soo Do Styles (korean style derived from Shotokan) This kata vaguely resemble the Kihon or Taikyoku, or Fukyu katas taught in most SHorin styles not "H" Kata. I would say that this guy is the victim of misinformation and bad teaching.

[jtiscool92]

maybe they couldnt afford any other colour than black? u never know

[KaseyAkira]

Katas have a great value when it comes to looking complicated and graceful, and pulling in customers to a karate class, but there is no real combat value to them at all. If you're preparing for a REAL fight, with REAL attackers, who want to hurt you and dont care about following basic form, you're better off training for that with explosive movements and sports specific combat drills. Forget the Karate Kid stuff.

[DVDGAL]

I agree with you. I wish I didn't even have to learn them. In my karate class they make kata learning so Important. You look like a fool if you haven't memorized every step. I have no problem with kicks, punches etc (doing them correctly) Every class is a new kata too!I need to know this fighting form shodan ichi. I wanted to take karate for self defense but little did i know about the outstanding importance of memorizing kata...

[KaseyAkira]

I have a degree in martial arts conditioning and sciences.

You really should find another place to learn karate if at all possible, though that might not do much good. Martial arts, like personal training, is an unregulated field. Anyone can buy a black belt from a costume shop and call themselves a "master" and charge people to learn things they just made up. Its tough to find a real teacher.

[DVDGAL]

I want to look for a different karate school. I'll try to find a master with a degree in martial art conditioning, might be hard but I'll try. If I cannot find that, at least a school that puts less importance on katas. Thank you for the good info.

[koshinkai]

If you are studying at a school where kata are not taught in a manner that teaches bunkai jutsu (art of application) and draws goshin waza (self defense technique) from kata, then you are training under someone who does not have any understanding of what original tode (karate) is all about. Kata is not merely a timekiller, it teaches your brain to develop synapse as well as muscle memory for execution and understanding of technique and technical concepts.

[koshinkai]

The problem with many so called "karate masters" is they teach kata and have no idea what they are teaching. If you are merely mimicking movements then you might as well be tap dancing and I can understand your frustrations with having to perform kata. Most people write off kata because of this very reason, they have noone to teach them the intricate and diverse technical and biomechanical aspects of what kata encompasses.

[koshinkai]

However if you understand the fundamentals of how the technique is used and how it operates, then you have the tools to be able to make changes on the go and compensate. The best advice you can be given is to study deep before you study wide.

Good luck with your training

[DVDGAL]

Thanks for the video. I am new at karate and this is helpful for learning katas. I am looking to buy a dvd that contains a simple breakdown for all the katas (if anyone knows of one)

[KaseyAkira]

If you're practicing katas for meditative reasons, then by all means. But if you're learning to defend yourself, this is most likely a waste of time.

[fredstingo]

i recognised two of those blocks being uchi-uki and agi-uki but nothing else

[lucyperus]

hm... sorry me, but what kind of shorin is this??

[SuikendoCrap666]

lucyperus, what is wrong with you? It's the free kind.

The guy is wearing a black belt, show some respect! He is a member of the BLACK BELT CLUB.

[lucyperus]

im ok, thanks :)

I'm not asking about The Guy, but only a Shorin. It looks familiar to Okinawa Shorin Ryu Karate - kata ichi (first ~ten technics). But it's diffrengt. Im just curious.

[07ATF]

Come to think of it, it's free and you don't have to go to a dojo to train. Please, when are going to show us other katas. Like the Pinan katas.

[h1h2h3h3]

wow that is like a copy of the first pattern in Taekwondo named Chun Ji. but it is only made up of low blocks and inner fore arm blocks. and after each block u step and punch

[07ATF]

What is the name of your Sensei?

What is your rank?

What style Shorin-Ryu do you practice?

What are the Japanese terms for all those blocks?

Thank you.

[Coinicon]

Nice job!

[Coinicon]

Nice,

[mitchhamblin]

Finally something I can practice in between classes!
