@joopsnoop Damn, You mean I've waisted 40 years of training, including Thai kickboxers, oh and the Kyokushin instructor grade. I'd better go tell Hanshi McCarthy we've been doing it wrong. :-)
@bobejking Training is never wasted, so if you've trained well for 40 years, good. The pad holder here hasn't spent 40 years holding pads. Even one year with proper pad guidance. I am sure Mr McCarthy can show you how to hold them right. He has experience in that area. Hold the kick shield like that and you WILL accumulate damage. Hold the hand pads like that and you're doing your training partner a disservice. Nothing personal, just be comfortable with asking the right person how to hold.
Really nice video compilation... If it's possible, it would be really nice if you could put up some full lenght two-person-drills like keri-waza and kamae-waza.
The "older" students have trained in other various systems before coming to KU. I have formally trained in 4 other systems and dabbled in countless others. The 2 young ladies have trained in nothing other than KU.
Speaking for myself, Hanshi McCarthy does a great job, I just stumble along with my mouth gaping in wonder!! :-)
Are all the shown persons KORYU-UCHINADI-BLACK-BELTS? Or ist the graduation from another style like shotokan, goju-ryu e.g.? You and Mr. McCarthy do a great job, go on!

Terrible. The pad holders have no idea. In fact how they hold the pads is dangerous and sets a bad example and should be taken off the net.
