Karate Documentary Part 3

[Eisu911]

The good thing about "Karate" is that you will understand the "pain", so you will not hurt somebody unnecessarily...

[gojustudy]

If one could look beyond politics, egos and half truths, Higaonna Sensei stands at a very high place representing Okinawa GojuRyu......Jundokan should stand very proud.

[hazza3]

Wow that looks tough.

[Apeshavenotails2]

@cjmayville He is right. You guys need to shut up and learn to speak respectfully. It's ok to make your oppinion known.

[cjmayville]

I find it hard to believe that practitioners with decades of dedicated experience would get on youtube and profanely and personally attack someone for disagreeing with their martial arts opinion. In as much as your attitude suggests you're a liar, your written expressions also suggests you are ignorant.

[elenchus]

just because there should be no competition doesn't mean there won't be a lot of sparring, even with other styles. This is common practice. But the purpose of sparring is to get better, not to win. That's the principle difference.

[SuperBluepurple]

So in other words he would be fine with competition as long as it was full contact

[TheGumtree01]

yes traditional ways are the best, you then learn the discipliine to be ruthless

[straycat1674]

This is a very well done documentary. As well, they explain things correctly and thoroughly. For those that insult traditional arts and do not understand them, this is a great video to refer them to.

[arsenio4100]

no tienen un fisico demaciado trabajado pero aun asi son muy fuertes !

[TheThing516]

How can some one be a master. This man has not been tested to a life and death fight. Blind devotion.

[Ninjamateo]

@TheThing516 you say he's never been tested but how do you know. what you just said is as foolish as me going up to a person of any faith and saying they don't know anything there doing. What you call blind devotion is just something you can't understand unless your actually doing that which you are judging. Therefore don't judge anyone and you will truly learn.

[setboy1]

@TheThing516 how do you know he has never been tested?

[koreanwizard94]

Karate can never be a sport for me neither :/.

[BestChronic]

I guess I have to learn their language to understand what the master is saying. lol

[RomeoSOF2]

I SO love karate =p

Orange belt... long way to go...

[emeraldflame100]

@ShowYourWorking uhmm hhhehehe just going to say because i found that comment funny(in a none narky way) if you trained for thirty years err for all that time in the dojo did you and your friend learn modesty ^-^

[RafaelZeljka]

I was training this style of karate and it makes me so happy when i saw on youtube that they make a movie about it!

Portugal Federation of Karate!

Goju Ryu Viseu

[PakDaeHan]

fuck all you white trash piece of shit!

[PakDaeHan]

@ShowYourWorking Frankly I don't give a fuck what you been and how long you been training! I still got fucken 5 years more than you dumbass!

[VegardMinde]

This is the real shit !

[PakDaeHan]

@ShowYourWorking shut up dumbass

[PakDaeHan]

[MrLidzzzetooo]

hinole

[AbhiB]

where is part 4 ?

[donoberloh]

kicker with Kick 2 try researching your info more with less repeated misinformation, Miygai Sensei trained with Higashionna, A Toudi teacher, not a Chinese stylist. But then Ive only been training teaching in Japan, PI, HK, Hawaii, and US since 1961

[kickerwithkick2]

Umm... I never said who Miyagi Sensei trained with. Forgive me if my sources are incorrect but Higashionna Sensei sailed to China in 1869 where he studied chinese martial arts in addition to what he had previously studied of okinawan martial arts and combined both the soft techniques of the chinese with the harder of the okinawan which eventually integrated into Goju-Ryu. Forgive me if I'm wrong but that's what my sources tell me.

[kickerwithkick2]

Shotokan was created by Gichin Funakoshi when he moved to Japan. Shoto was his nickname and kan means house (the original name of his dojo in Japan). Shotokan is derived from shorei-ryu karate and shorin-ryu karate meaning it is NOT the closest to the original art. Goju-ryu was derived from a chinese art some people call it Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan while others call it Chinese Nanpa Shorin-ken.

[kickerwithkick2]

Kyokushin was founded by Masutatsu Oyama in 1964- a korean born who later moved to Japan. No I don't think kyokushin was closer to the original. But then do you know where kung fu came from? Bodhidharma also known as Da Mo traveled from India to Shaolin and taught them a form of exercise and self-defense believed to be Kalaripayattu- possibly one of the oldest martial art in existence today

[ilikewhereilive]

@kickerwithkick2 thankyou, your the only other person ive seen on youtube who has even heard of Bodhidharma.

[ChanGengYun]

@kickerwithkick2 Gong fu did not come originate from India nor the style of Kalaripayattu.We Chinese had martial arts from way before Da mo came to Shaolin.Please research deeper.

[kickerwithkick2]

@ChanGengYun sorry, but different history documents say all different things. I don't think it's real conclusive but that's what a lot of people believe in. I'm sure that China had some sort of martial art beforehand especially since okinawa had some sort of indigenous martial art before it became influenced by Chinese martial arts.

[emeraldflame100]

@kickerwithkick2 yup ^-^ your halfway there mate hehehe id tell you the whole history some time but id run outa space youwanna know the name of the three distinctive arts that originated from the ryu kyu islands of okinawa and its history feel free to pm me on my profile ^-^

[veshkeat]

Tei was the original Okinawan martial art before it was influenced by Chinese Kung Fu.

Code-tei was the Okinawan martial art influenced by kung fu.

When Okinawa was made a part of Japan, they changed the name to Karate.

Shori-tei karate is believed to be most like the original code-tei, the original karate, and thus also most like Tei

[sewagedweller]

i wish i could had traditional teacher just once , the wanna be instructs who teach for competition and fame suck donkey dick . Seriously once i beat up black belt during sparing and he was telling me to go gently ......... seriously wft when noob like me can beat up a black belt ??!!!

[80KungFu]

You too? When I first started in Kyokoshin I got to spar with the master, and I more or less kick his ass! He was no match for my Kung Fu it was rediculas. Karate is good when it is traditional!

[maofas]

Are you sure? You seem to have taken a lot of brain damage in the incident.

[YukoTheGreat]

did he go easy on u ?

[xploreurmind]

I agree with you completely haha

[tonyvandemil]

there are still muay khad cheuk matches in thailand, those are pretty authentic

[MRunyQue]

He will never accept karate as a sport.

That true martial arts was never a sport. Its martial arts but the modern money made it to a sport to make money

[SenseiShotokan]

I understand your point. But Karate is not and will never be a "sport entertainement"...if that's what you mean. There's no karate organisation in this world that is making a lot of money with competitions. MMA IS a sport-show... not karate. Yes some people practice karate as a sport(personally I DO believe that the sport way does bring something that you cannot get if you only practice in a dojo..wich people you know for years...), but saying that it's a show-sport to make money is exagerated.

[PanicusVulgaris]

SenseiShotokan, I agree with you. I've been in Shotokan since 1978, competed in sport karate, coached competitors. In the end I am leaning more toward traditional karate, but don't disrespect a sport either. It does have some positive aspects. But traditional karate is the only true karate. And yes, it is a great exageration to say that sport karate was a commercial creation. There is very few (if any) world class competitors who made any money out of it.

[talon115]

Karate is responsable for more kids getting beat up than anything else. Some poor kid will watch some karate movie, go take lessons and then get his ass handed to him by a bully at school.

[travisdt]

it is true, hhahaaa. btw, is that you?

[786myfist]

was that kid you?

[PanicusVulgaris]

talon115, that is due mainly to two regretable facts:

No 1: Too many perpetual loosers who declare themselves " grand masters of such-and-such style of karate, and than giving out high belt rankings more generously than candies at Thanks giving, without being able to teach those kids any fighting skills

No 2: A sick system of values in this country where bullies are accepted and respected, instead of being severely punished and isolated, as is the practice in all of the civilized world.

[Jinkiro]

Actually, on the contrary, taking a martial arts class is one of the best things a child can do when it comes to being bullied. Any respectable dojo will teach you that fighting should always be a last resort, and that there are no winners in a fight. The winner is the person who chooses to avoid the conflict altogether. The purpose of learning the style is so that if you are in a situation where you CAN'T avoid it, you have a better chance of reducing damage to yourself.

[BadBlueBoy213]

The Winner is the one who's happy.

[shinbooks]

@Jinkiro I totally agree.

[sweetfly66]

@Jinkiro .... also , proper traditional martial arts training gives the practitioner an over all sense of calm which is contageous . In other words someone who has correctly trained in traditional martial arts could diffuse a potential situation just with his energy .

[Iaazathoth]

@Jinkiro Unfortunately, in he US, very, very few dojo actually teach anything useful for kids to use in anti-bullying. Judo/jujitsu dojo probably do the best job, maybe a smattering of real karate dojo, and almost none of the Americanized flavor of the month schools have anything to offer (this describes most TKD schools).

In these latter types of schools, children are just bill payers.

[jin54363]

@Jinkiro

i like those words

[straycat1674]

@Jinkiro Thank you for the intelligent reply.

Statistics have also shown that children who train in martial arts tend to be more focused and get better grades. As well, there tend to be less injuries in the martial arts as compared to other school athletic activities.

I have students who have never had an injury in their training, but sports like football and soccer are where their injuries have come from.

[hugoefoda]

whre is part 4 please?

[SenseiHelm]

I train and teach Shotokan Karate at SouthWest Karate & Aikido Center. This footage is very cool. We now have Pat King BJJ and I find it betters our knowledge of Kata Bunkai too. All martial arts have value!

[shatterprone]

I know it's been said before... but the clip would be a lot more useful without the vcr counter covering the subtitles. It's such a pity!

[shatterprone]

By the way does someone now where the rest of the footage can be viewed?

[hombremujeriego]

this little Kid Could Kick Mi ass im 20 year old lol

[talkaman]

my god it's true i live in england and have practiced karate for years i had a short break from it came back to find no actual dojos were left just kickboxing :S thats esetully what it has turned in to....i hate it

[midcoast007]

If you like this documentary check out Human Weapon sometime. Higaonna Sensei appears in the Karate episode, he currently is a 9th degree in Goju Ryu and still travels to dojos around the world to teach. In Human Weapon Bill and Jason, seemed really impressed that he still uses the same training methods he shows here, like training with the rock and the other classical tools of karate training.

[JCAlcatraz]

Is this the 'Way of the Warrior' BBC show narrated by Dennis Waterman?

If so, wow, I've not seen this since the 1980's.

[25lbdumbells]

Good video. Nice to see some of the other traditional martial arts. I practice jiu jitsu, but I respect all the arts and practitioners.

[goju974]

this video is very old i m sad to see the evolution of martial art especially karate

now it s the time of competion and most of the real teaching is already lose..

even this men practise competition now and sale dvd to learn to be a champion...

[SupermarketsRevil]

Agreed. There is nothing more special than a traditional martial art. Such a high degree of virtue as found in practioners of traditional martial art is rare today

[palfrensis]

That burnt in time code is very annoying

[montgomerymoneybags]

KARATE IS SO GAY AND BLOCKY

[opticannon]

that duck squat thing is so bad for the knees man

[ilovejapan888]

aww the kids are so cute

[dragonforcefan123]

this is the style i take and in my opinion it is the most effective style but that is just me

[BlackNigNog]

I just started, and I suck I want to be like these guys lol.

[Miroku6510]

We all sucked when we started, you'll get there if you keep coming.

[opticannon]

some people have talent but, talent can take you so far. its something that is deeper within you that makes you persevere regardless. in the end you are better because you had to train 10x harder. therefore you appreciate it more and have a much more profound sense of just what you have achieved and obtained. i learned that lesson the hard way you see, i have natural talent that i wasted in my earlier years while others that wanted it more had a fire that outgrew my own. youll eventually soar

[kataeb4ever]

Well, when Talent works hard, then the average person Cannot beat it.

[opticannon]

you do know that i was talking to blacknignog and was trying to encourage him but, here you come along with your two cents and over inflated ego. how you relate to others allows you to excel not only in the dojo\kuen but in all things of most serious crafts. really, reflect on this.

[kataeb4ever]

Thanks for the profound garbage, now get over it please...I know plenty of people who study TMA, and use it to better themselves in Professional and personal lives...Do i care? No...because i don't study "martial arts" i study fighting. My professional and personal lives are fine, I'm just being honest...Talent that works hard can't be beat by the average person.

[opticannon]

well that attitude begs to be broken. sabotaged much? receive the scorn and ire of your peers? you surely know how to win friends and influence people. i cant imagine you being so forthcoming in real time let alone you being civil enough to maintain a fellowship of people who have real power. you talk out of your ass. you are a liability

[Lech6253]

think about what you just said for about 5 min

incompitant shit

[hardkicka]

wise words!

[Ruthairat]

@opticannon That is very true. I have talent as well and found it easy to advance. Those who find it hard train 3 times harder than me and don't crack under pressure. Now I don't have talent and have to train harder to adance.

[opticannon]

@Ruthairat there is a flip side to having talent and training into the more mature years of your life. my ability and body are stronger than my limitations and i find myself injuring myself. so i must understand stillness and meditative practices. it has changed my fighting and training methods profoundly. the worser thing still is when you have an injury it takes so damn long to recover and you wind up missing out on valuable time. so, your skill might deteriorate accordingly.

[GregYong]

hahaha looking at the kid with the bowl cut reminds me of myself when i was 4.

[armen1993]

gooood video

[earll2001]

Good video,but I wish the VCR stuff was gone.Hey,KMBA i tottaly understand.Thanks so much for the video.

[RaptormanMT]

This is one of the manliest videos I have ever watched. It's like Sakigaki Otokojuku in real life.

[christwarrior56]

i love all martial arts i do tae kwon do any tips on training like how long a day should you practice

[pmonares]

KMBA could you put on this site the rest of the video?, this is a very intresting mterial.

[yeee941]

Karate is badass

[tubester4567]

I did Karate once.....I accidently scissor kicked myself in the nuts so i gave it up.

[ameliabedelia99]

Ha.

[stardingo747]

Outside the dojo, Master Funakoshi was a very nice man. However, inside the dojo, for the jumping exercises shown at 1:42, he used to attempt to hit his students with a broom stick to get them to jump. And, oh, they jumped, and did it very well.

[boxsterwelby]

There are more than one way to punch (jab, straight right, hook). But, fundamentally there is only one way that your body works. Phisiology, kinesiology. They punch correctly. Even if it looks different from western boxing, the kinetic chain is essentially the same.

[mitsourugi]

Actually the kinetic chain varies an IMPORTANT bit, the pulling backwards of the arm and the reliance on muscle tension and tendon ligament strength and flexibility ( gained through adaptation)for suppport make the karate punch more potent ( and less fast)than the boxing punch.

[boxsterwelby]

Using recoil? Are you talking about pulling the punch back slightly to create a whip like effect before it accelerates forward? I use the same technique sometimes in boxing. The down side like you said is it can be a telegraph. I think we agree on 99 percent of this.

[1URESAM]

i used to have this book about 25 years ago but i had no idea there was also a video. does anyone know how i can get hold of the video?

[bst28]

sorry kara means empty and te means hand and do means way so when you promounce it all at the same time it will be karate-do "empty hand way... oss

[bst28]

kara mean the empty hand and te means the way.. so when you pronounce the karate that means empty hand way...

[1URESAM]

is this goju ruy?

[TahoeVista]

Whats going on with that breathing technique they are all doing in there? Freaky stuff ... sounds like they are trying to cough up their lungs or pancreas. LOL

[paperclips4u]

The punches have no koshi and therefore no power. Not only that, but upon impact they will be pushed back.

The proper way to punch is the way Chibana Sensei did it. The stance needs to not only keep the body weight from knocking the person punching off balance, but also be proper to generate the koshi.

[fbling]

Whoa, you're teaching Higaonna Sensei how to punch?

[paperclips4u]

I'm not trying to teach anyone, I was just giving my take on it. I didn't mean to offend anyone :)

[thiagoibanez]

idk why but theres always a "smarty" trying to compare things. saying that the other way is better and this and that...

[paperclips4u]

People don't like it, but there is a better way in karate. In any case, I'm just looking at it from what I've learned about karate.

[1URESAM]

what is koshi?

[paperclips4u]

Koshi is your hips. Basically you want to move your hips the right way so you can drop your hara (weight) into the punch at the right time. If you do everything correctly (delayed pull-in, posture, etc) it will transfer the weight properly through your arm.

[1URESAM]

ahh! hip rotation or vibration. i had never heard it referred to that way.

[malasangre]

What makes you think these guys don't do that? One clip? Or.... What makes you think there is only one way to punch valid for all circumstances?

[lepivert]

Do you know what "kara te" means ?

[paperclips4u]

"Te" means the way, and "kara" means empty hands or no weapon. It basically comes out to the way of fighting with no weapons. I don't speak Japanese, so I could have missed some other meaning.

[1URESAM]

'TE' is not the way. te means hand. do is the way.

[1URESAM]

prior to paperclips4u's explanation, karate meant 'china hand'.

[malasangre]

Kara-te = empty hand

to-te = Chinese hand

[ALAN5560]

I had all these progams on tape and over the years I have lent them out and never had them returned so it great to see them again as they are classics and all martial arts students should see them. This guy is a true Martial Artist.

[ramroun]

Yes there is Seidokan...

[strokesdogs]

Thanks, but the time is not as important as the sub-titles are,....

[ranger8507]

Nice video, very interesting and informative.

[musicdisciple]

Demonstration of the Sanchin Form, Nice!

[bloodwolfk]
