Wado Karate Ohyo Kumite and Fighting Techniques

[majin2912]

I've been at Wado Ryu now for a few months coming from another style of karate and personally I find it to be the most direct, no nonsense martial art I've studied.  I've done a bit of Tae Kwon Do and Kung Fu too but I find the Taisabaki combined with the Sanbon drills to be extremely useful in conditioning one as far as facing off against another person. Kata alone just don't cut it in martial arts/

[gingerbreaddi]

Wado Ryu works up throws and dodge, different from shotokan that still have throws but way less and almost no dodge. Major techniques on Karate is not licensed, but the "high level" techniques, the ones that are really lethal they dont teach you, actually almost none sensei knows them, in brazil where i live i have the honor to have Takeo Kikutake Shihan visiting my dojo, hes the only one in brazil and a few in the world that knows the lethal techniques.

[nico52015]

IN SHOTOKAN TROWS ARE INSIDE ATEMI TECHNICS. SO THEY AREN'T SEPARATED FROM FISTS OR OTHER TECNICS.EXAMPLE: HAITO UCHI, IF YOU USE RIGHT HAITO UCHI WITH A RIGHT LEG SWEEP (EXCUSE ME IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAD THE EXAMPLE BUT I'M NOT ENGLISH) YOU CREATE A JUDO LIKE MOVEMENT BUT YOU USE ONLY ATEMI. IN KATA THERE ARE A LOT OF TROWINGS STARTING FROM HEIAN SHODAN (THE LAST FOUR SHUTO UKE) UNTIL NIJUSHIHO, GOJUSHIHO ,THE FIRST MOVE OF EMPI ECC.ECC. BUT ALWAYS INSIDE ATEMI

I've watched some cool Karate styles on youtube, but Wado might just be my favourite.Excellent art.

[majin2912]

@RossTaylor09 Yeah, it sure does look impressive and perhaps a little more relevant for self defence? I did Goju and while it's pretty good, I found the prescribed nature of defences to be a little contrived- like you had to remember a million different possible moves to counter attacks. that's just not realistic in a high stress situation where your fine motor skills are shot about 10- seconds into the altercation.

[mrmantis84]

wado ryu went from being a jujitsu style stressing a lot of striking to being a karate style that stressed a lot of grappling lol

[JpConor]

@mysticpiggy karate is licensed. I have to pay my license and insurance yearly.

[chapusa100]

I love the fast kaiten movements here....Great video!

[buri2zaemon]

That hand is so fast... great

[CTuxford]

I mightn't agree with the stuff shown, but the old shihan is quite shmick! I like the zanshin at the completion of the techniques. Very austere stuff.

[SawIndy]

@ dcm91 well your hard! :P I do karate so I can use it in bad situations, for a job interview (it shows you were commited to something in your life and also have trained hard) i also enjoy it.

[thebillfan4ever]

I love the one that starts at 1:44

[mysticpiggy]

karate should be licensed, its lethal stuff, I love it though, good stuff, not like all this other marital arts, it seem that there business selling but karate remain tradition, sod ufc, ufc sucks, unethical.

[dcm91]

it is licensed , im licesnsed and insured

[bolsh1]

@mysticpiggy it is licensed like bedcm said i am licensed and insured

[neo19dude]

@mysticpiggy licensed i not sure if your from america but i pretty tired of having to get a license to do anything in this country. martial arts should be licensed unless your teaching under a certain organization.

[SawIndy]

I'm a brown belt in the Irish Karate Wolf Club [ Wado Style] and have done all that but x2 slower by the time i am 15 I should have a black belt. I started when I was 5 and now I am twelve. Good luck to all learning karate lovers!

[Weston1968]

Well done keep up the good work!

[dcm91]

saying "i should be a black belt" shows your are training only for a belt , the colour you wear means nothing compared to the passion you should have in developing yourself as a person.

[nismotaku]

Greaaat, this sensei has a very good throws, for example the kani basami at 1:45 and the uky waza at 1:50.

I´m judoka and this man make those technique superb

[MaistrePathelin]

Ohtsuka-sensei studied both traditional karate and jujutsu. It's kind of normal that he put a little bit of both into his own style.

[binkme]

im getting my black belt in march

so i need to win some kumites and that vid is a good start.

[GadGades]

I agree, its really fast.

[Mejeshe]

how long have you been training?

[sober2blur]

TQTQTQTQTQTQTQTQ!!!!!!I worship you!!Thank you!!!Ive now won 10 Kumites with some of your throws.My Sensei was suprised!!

[worldworks]

of course, he was due to the fact that those American karate teachers withhold information just to make you sustain days of attending the class...this helps the instructor earn more money.

[atpforever1]

what did he learn if he invented the art??

okinawa te??

some techniques looked like judo

in shotokan throws are = 0%

but i would like to do some throws in my shotokan exercies

[vwr78]

He was master of Shindo Yodhin Ryu Jujitsu before learning Karate from Motobu,Mabuni and Funakoshi.

Wado is a mix of Jujitsu and Okinawa te and has lot of throws.

[withers01]

he was a jujutsui master and laerned shotokan and shito ryu

[chapusa100]

@atpforever1 There are throws in Shotokan, it depends on the Sensei. The late Sensei Taiji Kase was a Sandan in judo, before joining Shotokan, in 1989, he left JKA and formed his own type of shotokan that has throws and a lot of open hand techniques. Unfortunately he passed away in November 2004. He had a teacher who also did throws (Sensei Tadao Okuyama who died in October 2006)

[LeComte13]

@atpforever1 0%??? in my shotokan dojo 1-st dan exam techniques include always 2 or 3 throws which we were shown by our shotokan (JKA 5th dan) Sensei

[LeComte13]

@LeComte13 Yeah, you can also find KOBUDO INSIDE karate, this is not shtotokan karate, it is KOBUDO mixed with karate, I mean, in my dojo and in our confederation "WKC" you also have a "self-defence" part in your 1st dan exam, but it is self-defence, not karate.

There are many kind of throws, I think there's no point of comparison between some karate barai + push or blow and the Jujutstu grabs and projections.

I may be mistaken, of course. maybe it's some 5% of (simple) throws in karate.

[LeComte13]

@atpforever1

Remember he was Funakoshi's best student ( he was Sempai until he left funakoshi)

But when he had started Karate Ohtsuka alreadey was SHindo Yoshin Ryu JuJutsu instructor, after funakoshi he also learnt Shuri-te with Motobu

[apummarola]

@LeComte13

senpai doesn't mean you are the best, mean you are the oldest.

[LeComte13]

@apummarola No, actually it means you're the one who has trained for the longest period of time among the others, your age does not matter.

However he ALSO was his best student.

[05nixonsryu]

@apummarola Sempai is a senior student.

[05nixonsryu]

@apummarola No, Sempai is how you address a senior student.

[DerehamMartialArts]

@atpforever1 Hi, there are throws in Shotokan. They are contained within the kata, look up Iain Abernethy or i can post some vids if you like. P.s i am aware you posted this 2 years ago so if your opinion has changed apologies.

[elenchus]

@atpforever1 old post, I know, but Shotokan does have some basic throws and sweeps at the high level

[andreiberghianu]

1:45 amazing

[cillahughes1]

That was great!!!

[ikokujin]

Wonderful :)

[delphlee]
