"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! BITCH!!"

[piano0011]

What is the difference between Shotokan karate and Shukokai? I used to study shukokai and it looks similar.

[bjkick123]

@piano0011 Very closely related styles as most are!

[OoRaHDaWg21]

I LOVE SHOTOKAN KARATE!!!

[chazzl3]

@OoRaHDaWg21 thats what it iz?? kool i wanna be a black belt one day XD

[adaseth]

I don't know... maybe I lack respect in critisizing a black belt instructor but the stance is waaay to wide when delivering punch. Besides I've learned to have limited trust to even very experienced senseis who have developed an overweight. I do not mean to be offensive and I have- I apologise. Just voicing my concerns.

[bjkick123]

@adaseth In sport karate the knee would be illegal, however if you can think knee then you can do knee in real self defense! good luck.

[MacCairnie]

Sensei, I've got a question about your finish. Once he's on one knee, why strike with a reverse punch? Why not use a knee, which is closer to his face and stronger?

Thank you for the useful video.

[spamllpitdept]

good video. thank you for sharing and I hope you share more

[beenz08]

very nice move but he should be yelling while throwing the punch now when the punch is coming back the punch he threw had no power behind it he didnt pivot or release any air

[stefandetrez]

Dear Sensei Bruce

Can you give tips on how to read the moment right before the front foot is planted on the floor in order for the swipe to be light? I have tried the technique myself and it turns out if I sweep to late my opponents postition is so stable that I hurt my foot and no sweep is executed.

[evolvedb4u]

@stefandetrez I've had decent success by creating distance, watching the rhythm of the opposition's bounce...sort of like a beat on a song (I play drums, might be why)

Bait opponent to throw a few strikes. I find odd numbers seem to work best when sweeping. Like, watch 2 strikes, sweep on 3. Or, watch a few strikes, "reset", take a breath, and then sweep on 1. Often the rhythm changes as time goes on. Don't blow your load. While not tourney safe, during a mug attempt, clinching helped.

[stefandetrez]

@evolvedb4u Thank you. As we can see from the clip, sweeping is quite underestimated in kumite, while many kata suggest sweeps (fumikomi and mikazuki geri in reverse, drawing circles in Unsu, etc.) Thank you again.

[eamonob84]

@stefandetrez and dont forget naihanchi, rohai shodan and seipai. you're right on about unsu--for anyone with judo training, that seems like a very obvious o uchi gari.

[stefandetrez]

@eamonob84 Yes, Naihanchi, Shotokan's Tekki Shodan, is especially interesting for sweeps and throws. The upward flip of the feet is an evasion of a foot attack, but can also imply a pull of the opponents' foot. Kage zuki in kiba dachi can turn into pulls over the legs. It's a grave underestimation how many jujitsu techniques are hidden in kata movements.

[tman229]

I been looking for different ways to use leg sweeps. This seems to be a very effective way. Thanx.

[bgmstr]

what style of karate is this?

[bjkick123]

I've practised most of the orthodox styles. I just prefer to use Karate.

[OoRaHDaWg21]

@bgmstr Shotokan Karate

[kiwikarateguy]

Sensei means teacher, Sempai means intructor/or senior, Shihan means master! Osu!

[humbleboxer1]

Thats not true. Sensei refers to teacher. If your a professional teacher you are called sensei and everyone calls you by that name. Usually its after a certain rank is earned. If you put the time in why not be called what you are. If you put in 10 or more years studying medicine you are a Dr and are thus called by that title. that's not arrogance its deserved respect.

[EsmaelMajedi]

it takes a lot longer than 10 years to become a karate master ;)

[kiophiemonkey]

@EsmaelMajedi WAY LONGER thasn 10 years. id asy 15-20 MINIMUM

[kempobrad]

i agree, but it does seem arrogant to call yourself master, grandmaster etc. any title IMO is something someone else calls you. but, to me its not a big deal. its not really any different than saying i'm vice president so and so.

[rne02]

Yes, you are called Sensei by your students, but you do not refer to YOURSELF as Sensei.

[judosnubben]

Ko uchi gari!

[rne02]

Sensei is a term used by the student as a mark of respect. But to call yourself Sensei or to insist that others call you Sensei is a breach of etiquette.

[nakmas73]

Hi... Sensei is basically translated as Teacher. This is an automatic name you receive when you achieve Sandan / 3rd Dan. I've been a martial artist for over 24 years, teaching etiquette to many students... without coming across as disrespectful, why is it poor etiquette to call yourself Sensei or Shihan?

It's your 'name' when you're in the Dojo.

Respectfully, Nakmas73.

[rne02]

Sensei is a term of respect used by students (in Japan) to describe a particuallry well revered teacher or mentor. It is not the japanese word for teacher. (if it was the term could not be used to describe lawyers or Doctors, which it often is).

Calling yourself Sensei is a breach of japanese ettiquette becasue the term can only be used by others who wish to show you respect. you cannt bestow terms of respect on yourself, that is self evident.

Respectfully RNE.

[bjkick123]

Wow Inever knew so many of you out there were so interested in the term Sensei. The literal translastion is one who has gone before. And to be honest it would be spoken as Bruce Lowdermilk , Sensei. I refer to my seniors as sensei as they do theirs. However I'm not a Japanese person so forgive me if I come off as the westerer that I am. Be thankful I didn't use Hanshi, Renshi, Shihan, Soke, Grandmaster or some other terms . We have enough of that going on!

[rne02]

"The literal translastion is one who has gone before." Cheers bjkick123, thanks for that!

[Yypeli]

Nice video and working technique : )

But the shout was a bit late?

[bjkick123]

Yeah but I was teaching and talking. It looks alot better in real time.

[chuanfarobledo]

Hi, I'm practicing Kung Fu Ng Ga Kuen. All I have to say is.

Nice Technique, many times simple things work better than a awesome gymnastic movement.

Thanks from Mexicali, Baja California Mexico
