KARATE and OKINAWAN not english words, I HATE WHEN PEOPLE GIVES A BIG MOUTH AND SPEAK NONSENSE, no matter the order of spoken words, they are Japanese. DO YOU COPY?
@rodrigoblade83 No, I don't copy and you don't either. Okinawa has their own language and even though most can speak Japanese, Nihon Go, most Japanese can not speak Okinawan, Uchinaguchi. Ryukyu is Chinese and Okinawa is Okinawan, Japan is English and Nihon is Japanese. Do YOU copy? Or, wakatimasuka? "I HATE WHEN PEOPLE GIVES A BIG MOUTH AND SPEAK NONSENSE." ;)'

Karate is a powerful art of self-defense and the kata are a key to unlocking the heart of its various technique. So many people don't understand that its more then just kicking and punching. If you throw away kata you no longer have karate but something that may resemble it but no more. True karate is found in its Kihon, Kata and Kumite in my opinion.

Karate-do is practice in and out of the dojo, a way a life, the greatest battle lies inside of you , control it, or you will be controlled. this one is my qoute.
A true karate-ka is modest, not to claim he rightfull due, even to humble yourself below your true abilty. this sort of person pertends to be weak, rather than strong, pertending to be weak is not easy, others will perphaps despise or disregard you . only a few will recongnize your true worth. the world will not beat a path to your door. but you will be true to yourself, not a fabrication of lies to fool others ,this one of my favs qoutes by Seikichi Toguchi sensi, Goji- Ryu
karate knowlege is aquired good health ,mental,and spritual perfection with devotion to god country and fellow man , (by Robert Trias) and should only be taught to those with good morals, seek prefection of human character, many paths lead to the same goal,
Karate-do, "the way of the empty hand". The way I see, Karate shouldn't be taken as an art in which we don't use weapons, but an art in which our souls, seen as hands, must always be empty so we can receive new knowledge. That's the zen-buddhist vision of true Karate, I believe. Karatekas should always be open to knowledge, learning Karate in an ecletic way. Always empty yourself, fill again with knowledge and complete the cycle and do it all over again. Seek knowledge and become a true warrior.
all martialr arts should be this way i guess that was what bruce lee (respect *take of hat*) was getting at . u take what u learned and express in a manner that really says that this is u speaking through marital arts
Okinawa where is that and i was doin some homework the other night and it said "Thus it is quite possible that these martial art forms originated in southern India and were transmitted to China, Korea and Japan by Buddhist monks"
that's wrong,, Bodhidharma brought Yi Jin Jing to China. Yi jin Jing, is a form of stretching excise that increasing body's energy,, it's kinda like Yoga. However, Chinese Martial Arts origin is attributed to self-defense needs, hunting activities and military training in ancient China. Hand-to-hand combat and weapons practice were important components in the training of Chinese soldiers which it traces back to Xia dynasty of China more than 4,000 years ago.
a lot of people mistaken the origin of Chinese Martial Arts. Because they mistaken that Bodhidharma brought Yi Jin Jing to China,, which also popular in Shaolin. Yi Jin Jing is one style of Chinese Martial Art which Origin from Bodhidharma.
I have always believed that., however let me put another spin on it., I personally believe martial arts were developed in ancient Babylon under the rule of King Nimrod
I personally would love to have trained under the Hashshashin (a name which gave rise to the English term of Assassins) of Islam., they were the Arabic equivalent of the Ninja
Do real home work not that stuff on local kung fu myth and lore they tell you about in dojos...
World Encycopedia -
The attribution of Shaolin's martial arts to Bodhidharma has been discounted by several 20th century martial arts historians, first by Tang Hao on the grounds that the Yì Jīn Jīng is a forgery.[12] Stele and documentary evidence shows the monks historically worshiped the Bodhisattva Vajrapani's "Kimnara King" form as the progenitor of their staff and bare hand fighting styles
Records of the discovery of arms caches in the monasteries of Chang'an during government raids in AD 446 suggests that Chinese monks practiced martial arts prior to the establishment of the Shaolin Monastery in 497.[15] Monks came from the ranks of the population among whom the martial arts were widely practiced prior to the introduction of Buddhism.
In addition to that, the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, the Bibliographies in the Book of the Han Dynasty and the Records of the Grand Historian all document the existence of martial arts in China before Bodhidharma. The martial arts Shuāi Jiāo and Sun Bin Quan, to name two, predate the establishment of the Shaolin Monastery by centuries.[16]
In the south Indian state of Kerala,Bodhidharma is remembered as both a kalari master and as the "father of Han-Chinese Shaolin Fist".[50] The Yi Jin Jing also credits Shaolin kungfu to Bodhidharma. Malays believe that Bodhidharma introduced preset forms into silat. All this would make him an important influence on Asian martial arts in general.
However, both the attribution of Shaolin boxing to Bodhidharma and the authenticity of the Yi Jin Jing itself have been discredited by all historians
Even then, the association of Bodhidharma with martial arts only becomes widespread as a result of the 19041907 serialization of the novel The Travels of Lao Ts'an in Illustrated Fiction Magazine.[52]
there you have it buddy, all that BS about bohidharma and chinese martial arts came from a 1904 scifiction magazine, and before that bohidharma was never even mentioned as having anything to do with martial arts. popular legend gone OUT of hand like santa claus.
heres what was written by modern historians from China and Taiwan.
As for the "Yi Jin Jing" (Muscle Change Classic), a spurious text attributed to Bodhidharma and included in the legend of his transmitting martial arts at the temple, it was written in the Ming dynasty, in 1624, by the Daoist priest Zining of Mt. Tiantai, and falsely attributed to Bodhidharma. Forged prefaces, attributed to the Tang general Li Jing and the Southern Song general Niu Gao were written.
To kempobrad: Any martial art is a lifetime learning process. If you are looking for a technique to become good tomorrow, you better get a weapon, and maybe, if don`t kill yourself before, you may have a chance to defend yourself. To really master any martial art is not just learning how to kick, punch or block. It is about learning how to be a better person overall and it takes even much more than 10 years. Definitely martial arts are not for you if you are so anxious...
@fernandobodi ..common knowledge. but the point is. alot of ppl DO train for self defense. and most of the time its just not practical to carry a weapon. i'm hardly anxious, i'm not a scared little boy. if you want to learn some practical self defense, there are faster ways of learning it. never said anything about 'mastering an art'
Final part: Learn Karate ( or any other M.A) does not means only to kick high or block a punch or doing a Kata correctly. This is only the phisical part of the M.A. Truly learn means to learn the mental state to be able to discourage people to attack you without even fighting or finally be able to defend your life if necessary. This state of mind cannot be learned in couple of years, it requires a lifetime and sometimes that is not even enough.
There is a big misunderstanding when people says absorbing only what is useful from each technique or style or different M.A. to become a better fighter. It´s OK to try different schools to find the one that you feel better, but when you are a beginner or have only a couple of years doing one style you cannot understand yet what is usefull and what is not; you cannot even realize if what you are learning is correct or not. To master a technique is needed many years . To be continue...
karate is full of brutal techniques found in kata, tuite/ kyushujitsu i am aware of tuite I SAW SOME OF IT IN AUSTIN TX FROM RICHARD GUERRA SENSEI OF SORYU KARATE, great informative video
Bruce Lee is the best a karate. I currently do it right now. I go to the East Montgomery Karate Acadamy. I'm 10 yrs. old and I'm a brown belt. I've been doing it for 6.5 yrs. I'm almost to Ni-kyu. I am doing Issinruy karate. (I don't know how to spell it!)
actually Bruce studied a lot of things he did Wing Chun for 5 yrs with Yip Man and studied western boxing and fencing to fofm the base of his personal system I'm thinking he must 've looked at Karate a little I know he did not care at all for kata though.
from what i've heard he never did karate, and he did do alot of styles which is how he came up with jeet kune do. i could be wrong through. and if you look at fencing foot work it's similar to karate foot work, and fencing is one of the main styles he incorporated in jkd.
who gives a flying fuck what bruce lee studied, the whole world doesnt have to follow suite, furthermore okinawan karate is tried and tested on the battlefield, can you say the same about jkd.
ok im relaxed, it just pisses me off when people rely on what bruce lee did, i think the guy was great, however i dont agree with his views on traditional martial arts, especially his views on kata forms, they are a dictionary of deadly techniques, when broken down and practiced properly are absolutely lethal, i mean there is no holding back, its easy to say this dont work and that dont work, especially when you havent learnt the whole system.
I agree partly with what you are saying, as much as Bruce Lee knew, I do not think he truly understood the karate arts. However, even with my limited experiance with his J.K.D system/Way I can see that it is very effective as a fighting art.
I have studied both systems and find many things that are the same, but this is often not found by those who are unwiilling to explore other arts.
im always exploring other arts, which is what led me to the practice of okinawan arts, im not saying other arts are no good, just exploring goju ryu thats all.
ive been doing goju ryu for about a year, ive changed clubs three times due to location and work, allthree clubs are great, i still keep in touch, goju is such a powerfull art, theres just so much to learn, how are you finding it?
My base style is actually Tae Kwon Do, and have a 3rd degree in ITF and a 3rd degree in WTF. My boss at my job is a black belt in Goju, and I have been good friends with his teacher, and his past teacher. I am good friend with that Goju school and have learned alot from them.
I think it is best to absorb the attributes of any style that will make us better at protecting ourselves and loved ones.
O.K., now I think a Bruce Lee answer works best. "Absorb what is useful"
AND-the next level is to make this statement personal. "You should absorb what is useful for you" Lets use my base art for an example. Not everyone can kick well, so why should a person
Any way, why should a person spend hours trying to master every single kick of a system when it only take a couple that you are really good at (like) to defend yourself with. Sure you can learn them for fun or for the art of it, but it is more important to spend most of time mastering what really works (for you). More time into a fewer techniques will make you Best.
@singhakabuttar true because even boxing has forms when you train on a punching bag you are using forms. combinations jab jab punch hook,etc, u could say is a kata.
@edlo123 thats right, kata only becomes useless when its diluted, other than that its a dictionary of martial techniques. theres no boundaries or limits to there application either. all the best!!
agree with u, but i agree with Bruce lee if it refers to Chinese traditional forms. I used to practice Chinese martial arts and i noticed the forms are often either far too complicated to be used in real combat or it has been edited to look too good instead of putting emphasis on the real application of it.
The japanese and okinawan locals however, have perfected their techniques thats y their traditional arts do have value and application, so i train Karate now.
@singhakabuttar brucely was young and he was suddenly given the reputation and the authority of "the greatest fighter on earth" then he had to talk about what he knew , it was all his personal views , he was not that good a fighter , never agreed completely with any of his philosophy , ever . it pains me to see people comparing him to someone like Mas oyama and saying "I wonder who would win " .
@ahmednabil Bruce lee as a martial artist was great, his physical condition was beyond comparison, in the words of chuck norris" i dont think anyone trained harder than Bruce lee". as for comparing the guy, its too late, hes gone, i dont agree with all of his ideas, however, like you said, he was young, trying to establish himself as an actor, and a martial artist, which i think he done extremely well, hes probably the most famous martial artist ever!
@singhakabuttar he is the most famous one , thats for sure .
the thing is , he was given the reputation of the best in the world but he was no where neer that , so his opinions and views , which were still maturin and constantly changing, were taken for granted by ppl .
@ahmednabil all he done was opened up the world to martial arts, i mean after watching enter the dragon, how many people went to the nearest karate/kungfu school and joined up, as for being the best in the world, i think your getting it all wrong, people thought he was great and the kung fu boom happened, bruce lee never claimed to be the best in the world, who said he was, and what exactly is the point your tryin to make?
Despite your comment, I still find it VERY hard (and believe me, I try, because I really want to do Uechi-Ryu Karate), to find ANYthing from the Katas of ANY Karate form useful. Could you point out to me a piece of media material (or even literature) that could aid me in my search for the pragmatism of the Katas?
@Ronnock i dont know of any books, there are a few good vids on you tube, the thing is, kata these days is taught as a sport, to make it look good, the original aim was to practice kata, then do the bunkai, the problem is a lot of people dont know the bunkai, or why a technique is done in a certain way in the kata, hence the kata becomes diluted and innefective, i suggest a trip to okinawa, it certainly opened my eyes, just make sure its a traditional school, they have uechi ryu there.
@singhakabuttar There's actually a pretty legitimate and traditional school here where I live. However, the sanchins (while VERY difficult looking, especially with the brutal beatings, heheh), still don't really show any type of defense for the head--which is my greatest concer--. Most "thugs" or "wannabe-fighters" (and just people in general) are head-hunters. So the arts that offer the most sound protection for the head, are the ones I'd like to invest my time into.
@Ronnock sanchin kata is a breathing exercise, it also strengthen the muscles and sinews, hence the ability to take blows, the main idea of sanchin is to increase the power of your blows, its normally practiced alongside hojo undo. i dont know exactly what youre after, but the best way to protect your head is to keep away from these head hunters, you said you want to practice uechi ryu, does it not live up to your expectations?
@singhakabuttar Kinda sorta. It seems definitely to be the most pragmatic of all the Karates I've ever seen, but at the same time, there are still some things that I kind of disagree with. Why are all the punches thrown in Karate thrown either at the torso or stepped into? Boxers (albeit, street-brawlers do step with their bunches) don't step forward with their punches, they just pivot and twist the torso.
@singhakabuttar My bases are: Boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ. However, I study and research various arts and implement my own kinda "Jeet Kune Do". I will go and do what you said once I move back up there, near the location of that dojo. I've also wanted to spar one of them for awhile now, maybe I'll do that as well, heheh.
@singhakabuttar I take back my comment just a bit, because I believe I spoke a little too soon. This channel provided me with a minuscule amount of the answers to my question.
@singhakabuttar your right but with bruce i he just wanted too get rid of what you dont need so he might use a karate kick but get rid of the kata or karate block
@singhakabuttar " i dont believe in styles annymore..i dont believe that there is a japanese way of fighting,or the chinese way of fighting, or any "way" of fighting.but if human beings have tree arms and four legs we will have a different way of fighting! but basically we have two arms and two legs...so the important thing in the martial arts is to think HOW can i express myself? totally and completally.but styles tens to seperate men! because the founder of the style started out with an idea"
@singhakabuttar .." but now it has become the gospel truth..wich you can not change..and that to me is not rigt man.." bruce lees philosopies is all about change..and not to become annothers product. a fight changes...and so does life! a free mind with good knowledge of him/her self will be the best "horse" to put your money in to:) the mind that can adapt..and is not bound by ways or methods from style that has become law..but can think for her/him self.
@lilleinfected no one ever said not to keep an open mind, i do, everyone at my dojo does, you are the only one that can restrict yourself, you are also the only one that can expand your knowledge, if something doesn't work don't do it, but don't forget what may not work for you may work wonders for someone else, this is why martial arts instructors must teach the complete system, not only the parts they like, this way the student can explore his own strengths and weaknesses.
No because jkd is an idea of one man without tradition and it is much younger than karate so when bruce lee died, I think that 70% of that art died with him.
you have a good point, I study Okinawan Shuri- ryu Robert A. Trias linage. I herd remakes like yours all the time in the dojo.Back in the 70"s when I started , the reason I wanted to learn was Bruce Lee movies, what an inspiration watching Lee on the big screen, but that,s all it was a movie, Lee as a martial artist he was being himself . he leaned technique from different masters as a trade. to make JKD. he took acting and Martial arts and became famous.
I'm sorry but no style or kata is "best". No matter what style you are in or how hard you train there is always someone bigger faster and stronger than you. But for some ignorance is bliss.
It's like Chinese martial artist Huo Yuanjia said, "No style is superior to another. But one's practitioner's skill level may be superior to another's. That is why competition is important."
@singhakabuttar ha no worries it happens. I'm glad we agree though, I dunno about you but I get tired of everyone saying one style is superior over another, it's like just pick a main style you enjoy and get good at that for a few years then branch off into other things to better yourself.
Yeah I hate that! My friends was bragging about how Brazilian Jui-jutsu is better than any other martial art and it can take anyone down no matter what. It was pissing me off. He thinks he can beat me up en such. I hate when people say another thing is better than the other.
@sirchristian12 you know how to fix that? whoop his ass. haha. I had a student come to class a teenager who thought he was the best fighter in the world and his Muay Thai was the ultimate, well unfortunately for him he talked too much shit and I had, had enough so I put him in his place. Sometimes all of us martial artists need a beating, that's what makes us want to get bigger, faster, and stronger. But best of luck to you!! ( =
Thank you very much. I train in Northampton near the high school. If i could ask you something, why do you believe me? I'm telling the truth of course, but so many people are lying about rank, style, etc. What makes me different in your eyes? Just wondering. Thanks again.
i want to do martial arts , i used to be in ShaoLin for about 2 years, the only ting i don't like about it is there is much testing and when i watch thing like Drunken Master i just want to do it that way have one teacher that can help me , i need to be watched constantly so i get the forms just right, but iam in a lame town that has nothing like that.
Some members of the ti school combined elements of what they learned from the Fujian traders, creating the foundation on which Okinawan karate was created. Hence, the original name, touti (China-hand), was simply a combination of 'tou' (China) and 'ti'(hand; the traditional Okinawan martial style).
Karate became popular in Japan in the second and third decades of the 20th century after some Okinawan teachers, most notably Gichin Funakoshi, brought Okinawan karate to the mainland.
In the times of the independent Ryukyu Kingdom, before it was invaded by Japan and forcibly annexed and turned into Okinawa Prefecture, traders from Fujian Province in southern China, who specialized in Crane style gongfu, brought their fighting style to Shuri, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
However, toute itself is a mix of a traditional Okinawa martial art pronounced ti (手)in Okinawan (more properly Ryukyuan) in the Shuri area of the main island of Okinnwa, and Crane style gongfu from southern China. In Japanese, the kanji for 'ti' is pronounced 'te' and forms the 'te' of 'karate'.
'Toute' (唐手) means China-hand (ie China fist). The two Chinese characters can also be pronounced 'karate' in Japanese. As someone mentioned, nationalism and anti-sinoism in Japan was the impetus behind changing the kanji to 空手 (karate; lit. empty-hand), which is what the martial art is known as today.
my grandpa is 50% japanese so that makes me 12-13% and he taught me art of the pressuring its sweet tho cuz i can hit any of any1s most vital pressure points...
Okinawa has different culture from the rest of the Japan like Texas and NY... it doesnt mean they are not Japanese, they are and they have proud... Karate-Do was created based on 3 tipes of combat used by samurai, but all the japanese martial arts has influence from kung-fu...
Karate was not created by Funakoshi. Funakoshi himself was an Okinawan, and he was trained by Azato Anko and Anko Itosu. The original name of karate is To de , or "China hand.
From my understanding, Okinawa as a culture is separate from both China and Japan. The Okinawans at different times had to pay tribute to both China and Japan, but Karate is a mixture of Okinawan Te and Chinese arts.
Actually Funakoshi studied karate in Okinawa. Then later went to the mainland and changed the Okinawan name "tote" to "karate" and removed all references of its Chinese ancestry. Karate then was used to discipline children and spread nationalistic and militaristic thought in Japan.
Karate-Di is a japanese martial arts, came from the samurai marcial arts, that came from kung-fu... but karate-do is japanese, created by Gichin Funakoshi with the shotokan-kyo stile, not shotokan...
Actually Okinawan karate has several schools. Several schools such as Shotokan have its origin in Northern China. Gojuryu has its origin in the south.

Karate is a powerful art of self-defense and the kata are a key to unlocking the heart of its various technique. So many people don't understand that its more then just kicking and punching. If you throw away kata you no longer have karate but something that may resemble it but no more. True karate is found in its Kihon, Kata and Kumite in my opinion.

Okinawa where is that and i was doin some homework the other night and it said "Thus it is quite possible that these martial art forms originated in southern India and were transmitted to China, Korea and Japan by Buddhist monks"
ulittlecow 2 years ago
that's wrong,, Bodhidharma brought Yi Jin Jing to China. Yi jin Jing, is a form of stretching excise that increasing body's energy,, it's kinda like Yoga. However, Chinese Martial Arts origin is attributed to self-defense needs, hunting activities and military training in ancient China. Hand-to-hand combat and weapons practice were important components in the training of Chinese soldiers which it traces back to Xia dynasty of China more than 4,000 years ago.

a lot of people mistaken the origin of Chinese Martial Arts. Because they mistaken that Bodhidharma brought Yi Jin Jing to China,, which also popular in Shaolin. Yi Jin Jing is one style of Chinese Martial Art which Origin from Bodhidharma.

I have always believed that., however let me put another spin on it., I personally believe martial arts were developed in ancient Babylon under the rule of King Nimrod
I personally would love to have trained under the Hashshashin (a name which gave rise to the English term of Assassins) of Islam., they were the Arabic equivalent of the Ninja

Do real home work not that stuff on local kung fu myth and lore they tell you about in dojos...
World Encycopedia -
The attribution of Shaolin's martial arts to Bodhidharma has been discounted by several 20th century martial arts historians, first by Tang Hao on the grounds that the Yì Jīn Jīng is a forgery.[12] Stele and documentary evidence shows the monks historically worshiped the Bodhisattva Vajrapani's "Kimnara King" form as the progenitor of their staff and bare hand fighting styles

@ulittlecow
Records of the discovery of arms caches in the monasteries of Chang'an during government raids in AD 446 suggests that Chinese monks practiced martial arts prior to the establishment of the Shaolin Monastery in 497.[15] Monks came from the ranks of the population among whom the martial arts were widely practiced prior to the introduction of Buddhism.

@ulittlecow
In addition to that, the Spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, the Bibliographies in the Book of the Han Dynasty and the Records of the Grand Historian all document the existence of martial arts in China before Bodhidharma. The martial arts Shuāi Jiāo and Sun Bin Quan, to name two, predate the establishment of the Shaolin Monastery by centuries.[16]

In the south Indian state of Kerala,Bodhidharma is remembered as both a kalari master and as the "father of Han-Chinese Shaolin Fist".[50] The Yi Jin Jing also credits Shaolin kungfu to Bodhidharma. Malays believe that Bodhidharma introduced preset forms into silat. All this would make him an important influence on Asian martial arts in general.
However, both the attribution of Shaolin boxing to Bodhidharma and the authenticity of the Yi Jin Jing itself have been discredited by all historians

@ulittlecow
Even then, the association of Bodhidharma with martial arts only becomes widespread as a result of the 19041907 serialization of the novel The Travels of Lao Ts'an in Illustrated Fiction Magazine.[52]
there you have it buddy, all that BS about bohidharma and chinese martial arts came from a 1904 scifiction magazine, and before that bohidharma was never even mentioned as having anything to do with martial arts. popular legend gone OUT of hand like santa claus.
anhkhoinguyen 2 years ago
heres what was written by modern historians from China and Taiwan.
As for the "Yi Jin Jing" (Muscle Change Classic), a spurious text attributed to Bodhidharma and included in the legend of his transmitting martial arts at the temple, it was written in the Ming dynasty, in 1624, by the Daoist priest Zining of Mt. Tiantai, and falsely attributed to Bodhidharma. Forged prefaces, attributed to the Tang general Li Jing and the Southern Song general Niu Gao were written.
THIS IS TRUE FACTS!

To kempobrad: Any martial art is a lifetime learning process. If you are looking for a technique to become good tomorrow, you better get a weapon, and maybe, if don`t kill yourself before, you may have a chance to defend yourself. To really master any martial art is not just learning how to kick, punch or block. It is about learning how to be a better person overall and it takes even much more than 10 years. Definitely martial arts are not for you if you are so anxious...

@fernandobodi ..common knowledge. but the point is. alot of ppl DO train for self defense. and most of the time its just not practical to carry a weapon. i'm hardly anxious, i'm not a scared little boy. if you want to learn some practical self defense, there are faster ways of learning it. never said anything about 'mastering an art'

Final part: Learn Karate ( or any other M.A) does not means only to kick high or block a punch or doing a Kata correctly. This is only the phisical part of the M.A. Truly learn means to learn the mental state to be able to discourage people to attack you without even fighting or finally be able to defend your life if necessary. This state of mind cannot be learned in couple of years, it requires a lifetime and sometimes that is not even enough.
fernandobodi 2 years ago
what good is a technique that takes years to master? self defense 10 years from now won't do much good tomorrow afterall.
kempobrad 2 years ago
There is a big misunderstanding when people says absorbing only what is useful from each technique or style or different M.A. to become a better fighter. It´s OK to try different schools to find the one that you feel better, but when you are a beginner or have only a couple of years doing one style you cannot understand yet what is usefull and what is not; you cannot even realize if what you are learning is correct or not. To master a technique is needed many years . To be continue...

from what i've heard he never did karate, and he did do alot of styles which is how he came up with jeet kune do. i could be wrong through. and if you look at fencing foot work it's similar to karate foot work, and fencing is one of the main styles he incorporated in jkd.

singhakabuttar 2 years ago 14
right you are .
786myfist 2 years ago
I agree partly with what you are saying, as much as Bruce Lee knew, I do not think he truly understood the karate arts. However, even with my limited experiance with his J.K.D system/Way I can see that it is very effective as a fighting art.
I have studied both systems and find many things that are the same, but this is often not found by those who are unwiilling to explore other arts.

My base style is actually Tae Kwon Do, and have a 3rd degree in ITF and a 3rd degree in WTF. My boss at my job is a black belt in Goju, and I have been good friends with his teacher, and his past teacher. I am good friend with that Goju school and have learned alot from them.
I think it is best to absorb the attributes of any style that will make us better at protecting ourselves and loved ones.

O.K., now I think a Bruce Lee answer works best. "Absorb what is useful"

jesuskopp 2 years ago
opps slip of finger.
Any way, why should a person spend hours trying to master every single kick of a system when it only take a couple that you are really good at (like) to defend yourself with. Sure you can learn them for fun or for the art of it, but it is more important to spend most of time mastering what really works (for you). More time into a fewer techniques will make you Best.

@singhakabuttar true because even boxing has forms when you train on a punching bag you are using forms. combinations jab jab punch hook,etc, u could say is a kata.

agree with u, but i agree with Bruce lee if it refers to Chinese traditional forms. I used to practice Chinese martial arts and i noticed the forms are often either far too complicated to be used in real combat or it has been edited to look too good instead of putting emphasis on the real application of it.
The japanese and okinawan locals however, have perfected their techniques thats y their traditional arts do have value and application, so i train Karate now.

Despite your comment, I still find it VERY hard (and believe me, I try, because I really want to do Uechi-Ryu Karate), to find ANYthing from the Katas of ANY Karate form useful.

Ronnock 1 year ago
@Ronnock i dont know of any books, there are a few good vids on you tube, the thing is, kata these days is taught as a sport, to make it look good, the original aim was to practice kata, then do the bunkai, the problem is a lot of people dont know the bunkai, or why a technique is done in a certain way in the kata, hence the kata becomes diluted and innefective, i suggest a trip to okinawa, it certainly opened my eyes, just make sure its a traditional school, they have uechi ryu there.
singhakabuttar 1 year ago
@singhakabuttar There's actually a pretty legitimate and traditional school here where I live. However, the sanchins (while VERY difficult looking, especially with the brutal beatings, heheh), still don't really show any type of defense for the head--which is my greatest concer--. Most "thugs" or "wannabe-fighters" (and just people in general) are head-hunters. So the arts that offer the most sound protection for the head, are the ones I'd like to invest my time into.
Ronnock 1 year ago
@Ronnock sanchin kata is a breathing exercise, it also strengthen the muscles and sinews, hence the ability to take blows, the main idea of sanchin is to increase the power of your blows, its normally practiced alongside hojo undo. i dont know exactly what youre after, but the best way to protect your head is to keep away from these head hunters, you said you want to practice uechi ryu, does it not live up to your expectations?
singhakabuttar 1 year ago
@singhakabuttar Kinda sorta. It seems definitely to be the most pragmatic of all the Karates I've ever seen, but at the same time, there are still some things that I kind of disagree with. Why are all the punches thrown in Karate thrown either at the torso or stepped into? Boxers (albeit, street-brawlers do step with their bunches) don't step forward with their punches, they just pivot and twist the torso.

@lilleinfected no one ever said not to keep an open mind, i do, everyone at my dojo does, you are the only one that can restrict yourself, you are also the only one that can expand your knowledge, if something doesn't work don't do it, but don't forget what may not work for you may work wonders for someone else, this is why martial arts instructors must teach the complete system, not only the parts they like, this way the student can explore his own strengths and weaknesses.

The reason for having reorganized Toute (唐手) with Karate (空手).
Funakoshi (Okinawan) took in Buddhistic thought and wrote it as Karate (空手).
It has the meaning of not having Weapon there.
The person who asks nationalism for a reason has war aftereffect.
vvvviperrrr 4 years ago
wrong, that is not the meaning... even because karate-Do teach how to use knives, staff and of course, the sword... karate has a deeper meaning...
hitokijb 3 years ago
Some members of the ti school combined elements of what they learned from the Fujian traders, creating the foundation on which Okinawan karate was created. Hence, the original name, touti (China-hand), was simply a combination of 'tou' (China) and 'ti'(hand; the traditional Okinawan martial style).
Karate became popular in Japan in the second and third decades of the 20th century after some Okinawan teachers, most notably Gichin Funakoshi, brought Okinawan karate to the mainland.
Jejuk 4 years ago 3
In the times of the independent Ryukyu Kingdom, before it was invaded by Japan and forcibly annexed and turned into Okinawa Prefecture, traders from Fujian Province in southern China, who specialized in Crane style gongfu, brought their fighting style to Shuri, the capital of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
Jejuk 4 years ago
However, toute itself is a mix of a traditional Okinawa martial art pronounced ti (手)in Okinawan (more properly Ryukyuan) in the Shuri area of the main island of Okinnwa, and Crane style gongfu from southern China. In Japanese, the kanji for 'ti' is pronounced 'te' and forms the 'te' of 'karate'.
Jejuk 4 years ago
'Toute' (唐手) means China-hand (ie China fist). The two Chinese characters can also be pronounced 'karate' in Japanese. As someone mentioned, nationalism and anti-sinoism in Japan was the impetus behind changing the kanji to 空手 (karate; lit. empty-hand), which is what the martial art is known as today.
