  • OMFG 10 DAN? SUPER MASTER

  • esto es karate do goju tyu verdad? parece qser kyokushinkai, pero lo veo distinto, soy practicante del karate do shotokan y me gusta mas, pero de todas maneras soy abierto a todas las artes marciales y filosofias, muy buen videos, saludos

  • @fernando17c goju ryu* perdon

  • people sy kyokushin karate is the most dominant and deadly form of karate compared to shotokan, goju-ryu, wadu -ryu and other forms of karate..is this true? can some 1 update me?

  • @joelvis65 karate kyokushin is know to be the strongest karate. but this is not easy to say. i pratice shotokan karate and we can say witch style is better than the other.

    rules are not the same.

    i think the best style of karate is YOUR favorite style. so try and pratice your favorite style :D

  • My fighting style is very illusive I don't like to stand and trade in the pocket so much, so I am considering making Karate my stand up base for my MMA competition. Pretty bad ass if you ask me, it's so mental.

  • is more like a kung fu style...

  • 0:45 ouch

  • Comment removed

  • what's secret about it????

  • I just love it when vendors tout this or that videotape reveals some "secret". If they sell it, it is not much of a secret now, is it.

  • They sure love to hit the wind.

  • Karate isn't mother of martial arts, wu shu kung fu is it ! Lol

  • @stets83 Actually its Kalaripayattu from India

  • believe or not there is a lot of similarity of pure asian m.a ,karate is more straight with more strength approach,kung fu is more flex and speed with body movement(but shaolin style kung fu is both strength and endurance),but some of moves are 2 old,thus bruce lee wanted to combine all into one.

  • Mother of martial arts? lol

  • I'm sure it's a wonderful video but Karate is NOT the mother of all martial arts. Some basic research will tell anyone that "Karate" evolved on Okinawa and was influenced mostly by the Kung Fu passed on by Chinese traders along with arts from the surrounding region and adapted to the Japanese mindset. Some people will believe anything.

  • Those who would criticize this video should probably check their history to see some of the masters that are featured here... You have no idea what you are talking about if you are not practically drooling to get your hands on this! Yes the advertising is cheesy, but there is nothing wrong with making money from your mastery... Sadly, most people will never be good enough to make a living from their martial art, but these people are LEGENDS in their arts.

  • Is there a 2nd part to this video?

  • Id this is so "secret" why is it on YouTube?

  • @jolemez : it is not on youtube. Take a closer look, here they mention it, but they do not show it.

  • Hate the combination of commercials and karate....I dont need music and a "selling voice" to maintain my karatetraining...

  • @sjeffe32 Statement of the decade my friend, OSU!

  • Every art is unique but comes from an originator and has it's applications. Lots of work and strength is the basics of most but my time in Okinawan Ishim Ryu was a lesson in respectful gladiators and all students of the arts need to feel this experiences. changes the way you respect other arts for sure.

  • This VHS series teaches the dangerous snake oil technique!

  • combate meglio mia nonna

  • pfff

  • 2:05: _Who else is thinking Wing Chiun??

  • @diavarezable you're right. many martial arts use similar exercises even if all of them want to be unique. humans have the same bodies with the same mechanics and the principles in fighting are the same no matter which martial art you choose. this leads to redundancies across martial arts. btw: when i saw chi sao the first time in the 90s, i thought:"man...looks like what we do in karate" :)

  • @diavarezable Yes also crane and snake technique is past on to karate

  • If it is "secret" why is it on Youtube? Just wondering...

  • Was watching....then saw the advertisement at the end and realized it a bunch of bull**** as always

  • Master Tohyama looks badass as hell! 73yr old of steel!!

  • Omg stop talking about which martial art is better!!!Mother of martial arts , kung fu ,karate blablabla all the time for nothing.Get real people its the artist not the art!!!

  • @reybatistafan calla imbecil que no estas en nada!

  • @x3x3x3x English please.

  • @reybatistafan I once heard on a video i believe the founder of kajukenbo saying that if a martial art does not work for you it's not the art to blame but the fighter. That's basically what you are saying but it's so true you can't blame your inability to defend on an art only you are capable of defending yourself the martial arts are only a tool an extension of your mind.

  • check out the 73 year old guy at  1:42

  • OOOSSUUUU!

  • this s not a secret, just is an tradicional training of karate.

  • Martial arts is nothing more than reflex set to geometry.

  • The Mother of Martial Arts! Me thinks there is a bit of Bullshido going on here.

  • Karate...my way of life...

  • Interesting but a bit hyped up. Ryukyu Kempo has been known about for quite some time.

  • great video, stupid comment

  • ... Ryo family is only traditional karate... That really suck in real time fight

  • God! Is that real?

  • 2:55 attack aimed at the eyes :o

  • Wow. There is no methodology on the street. It's pure recognition and aggression. You only need the art to channel your instinct.

  • India is the mother of many, many martial arts. Britain forbid Indians from martial art training by orders to shoot on site... hens the increased study of Yoga during colonial times. Excellent video, to bad the ad copy is ego centric and lacks sales morality.

  • @hakim0436 dude it was like 1988 and the locks were above my belt level. i was taught a mix of shotokan karate and lo pan tai chi chuan by si gung frank perry. it came down to cost and i had to pick school sports or martial arts so at 11. at 13 i started took a few free tkd classes. the teacher i later found out got his black belt in 9 months. this is why i was able to use my wrestling to fire mane launch him and pin him during after class sparring.

  • 25 people couldn't lift the stone urns.

  • @hakim0436 nope. karate and kung fu are striking arts. they have zero clinch or grapple.

  • @Steadno Dude. Please immerse yourself in Kung Fu before saying that - these arts have been around for thousands of years and it doesn't take a genius to figure out a clinch. In fact the stuff that they do in Muay Thai (the clinch and knee) is quite commonplace in both Hung Gar (and Karate for that matter). There are systems that are centered completely around Chin and Na. These aren't called the most complete arts for no reason, you know.

  • @FoieGras from about 9-11 years of age i took a kung fu karate eclectis system. strikes, standing locks...zero ground game. i dont even know why im debating you. just watch the first couple of ufc bouts and you will see every martial art get exposed by bjj. plus you cant cite one successful guy in mma who uses only one martial art. even bjj guys study boxing, kick boxing, muay thai, capera, wrestling etc.

  • @Steadno You do know 'Kung Fu' isn't one system - there are systems with ground games. Yes - BJJ is great. Yet is that why the Gracies lost to Kimura of Judo? What you have in the first UFC is the Gracies - some of the best in their system vs guys from other systems who aren't near the top.

    And the thing about most traditional arts is that they aren't made for long-standing one-on-one fights with a stoic opponent who's strong and expect you to know all the tricks in the book.

  • @FoieGras name a top level single art guy in mma. it can be any martial art so long as it is one art.

  • I thought you were wanting to argue how the Gracies 'exposed' the other arts. Of course there aren't any - in the competitive environment you're expected to be well-rounded - but there are guys who's mainstay is traditional (Machida, for example of Shotokan Karate)

  • @FoieGras well yes the gracies did exposed the fundimental weakness of kung fu, karate, tkd etc ie no ground game. they were doing it long before the first ufc too. so now every successful fighter must have standing, clinch and grapple. even bjj guys must have other arts too. machida has a black belt in two kinds of karate, a black belt in bjj and uses sumo wrestling too...he is a mixed martial artist thru and thru.

  • And the fact of the matter is that if you train traditional - you're not training your lungs, muscles, everything you need to survive in a fast-paced competitive environment. You're training to give you a set of skills for everyday life/warfare in ancient times. In modern times it's about perfecting technique, self-cultivation, and self-defense. So those "take bits and pieces classes" - those aren't traditional arts. They're at best only teaching techniques, not the arts themselves

  • @FoieGras well yeah thats the point of mma. taking what really works for each art. leaving all the magic stuff behind.

  • @Steadno Well whatever you want to believe. From experience having sparred with mixed martial artists, I could definitely say that the foundation training you get from traditional was a great asset. There's no magic to it - precision, spontaneity, focus.

    Ground games included - remember that Kung Fu isn't one style - most "Kung Fu practitioners" are well versed in multiple styles as well - yes ground games included. Mixed martial artists right there, but you won't get that with crash courses

  • @FoieGras so since you sparred with mma guys name the kung fu technique you use once you were put on your back. dont try and say that he couldn’t get you down cause that idea has been debunked countless times. and yes every martial arts style has many variations. i wrestled in middle school. It was called folk wrestling or collegiate style. but there is greco-roman, cornish, belt, nubian, freestyle, catch...none have punches or kicks just as kung fu, karate, tkd have zero ground game dude.

  • @Steadno Why yes, they did have trouble getting me down. No, I didn't have too much ground fighting experience as my style was primarily standup. Debunked? By whom? Someone with no timing and sense of distance? By guys who do sport Karate/Kung Fu? I particularly liked wide stances (sei ping ma and the what karate practitioners like to call "cheating stance" - great for the double-leg take-downs.

    But when fights actually got to the ground, I did suck at rolling, I'll admit

  • But hey, I can't blame you for choosing to indulge in American television

    watch?v=6IjmnMaCk2Y

    watch?v=ejIyjIwtHjY

    There's also several Fujian styles like Dog Fist - focuses heavily on groundwork. But hey, as you've said - zero grappling/groundwork.

  • Here's another good one

    watch?v=__JYhJJXZr8

    Don't know any of these, but you can see there's no absence of grappling and ground work.

  • @FoieGras

    Royce Gracie v.s. Jason Delucia

    /watch?v=VN6PvPCrStI

    Jiu jitsu vs Karate

    /watch?v=mlleDPgmDVM&feature=r­elated

  • @Steadno Dude, seen these before - like I said though - Royce was one of the best at what he does. Have him go and challenge someone like Liu Yunqiao in his prime or people like the Lam family or Senaha-sensei.

    watch?v=9pwMnKNNuDM

    watch?v=DH1eNsMNW24

    BJJ improved upon everything in Judo - what now? When going against the better-trained fighter - lesser fighters lose. That's it. Competitive fighting doesn't mean anything about the arts themselves. Are you just that much of a Gracie-groupie?

  • @FoieGras dude do any of those guy like liu yanqiqo do anything more than do katas and do demonstrations with fall guy tools? way different than being in the cage. well yeah thats better. clinch grapple vs clinch grapple. everybody know that bjj adapted from japan. even judo is adapted from another for sport. not a gracie groupie but they are well know for reference and basically started mma/ufc in america.

  • @Steadno Yes, Liu Yunqiao fought - he's famous for training body guards. Lam family fought. Some people who know more about Okinawan martial arts can probably tell you more about this Karate instructor. More impressive is Liu Yunqiao's teacher is Li Shuwen - very prominent Baji master, a very no-nonsense type of guy. You can read up on him. Yes, he's fought but the fights that he's been in aren't exactly sports competition-oriented. And you'll probably not find those kinds of fights on youtube.

  • But I digress. It is Kung Fu is less effective in the modern day, when people aren't martial bodyguards/soldiers for a living. Horse stance for hours isn't useful anymore. Having said that, I do Kung Fu and Karate because I enjoy it. Contrary to popular belief, many traditional arts are VERY progressive - particularly Japanese traditional arts. Still,out on the streets, who knows if you're able to be as methodical as you are in the ring w/ BJJ - thus, in my opinion, it's better to be instinctive

  • @FoieGras horse stance never was for fighting anyway its for building leg, butt and back strength. its also for training resistant to positive pain and general concentration and discipline. your legs are too far apart. traditional single arts have good points but some techniques are kept just for keeps sake. but some are so dangerous deadly they cant be used in sport. but those techniques are at the higher levels. and some only work against a drunk cliche bum cartoon with zero skills.

  • @FoieGras yeah but it sounds like a didnt fight mma just strikes. he has no record of these fights on wiki either. an mma guy would take him down get full mount and pound him out. just like gravity.

  • Comment removed

  • Whatever you say. lol. "just LIKE gravity?"

  • @FoieGras but you said they had trouble getting you down not that they didnt get you down. its always about timing no matter if youre striking, clinching or grappling. and nobody has perfect timing. again debunked by the gracies over many years. watch here on you tube how the gracies went all over brazil challenging the instructors at their own schools. again and again striking artists got the shock of their lives. 'cheating stance' lol. thats a demonstration gimick to get students.

  • @Steadno True - but I did better success than many sprawling-standuppers. They let the game be carried into other the opponent's territory. But whatever, do what fits you and let's let this end here, shall we?

  • @FoieGras that may be but you still got taken down and once down there you are lost. just like a clinch grappler is lost in the striking world. yeah man i guess it could go on forever lol. peace out.

  • @Steadno ya the gracies braught a dose of reality to the fight game. But the beating up different different style to show your skills has always been around. Just about every system out there has done that. karate used to beat boxers to show their skills, heck judo used to go beat up jujutsu schools to show they were better, Aikido would do the same back in the day. BJJ is around to say because its solid, but you dont need it to be a good martial artist.

  • @wayoftheforesthand 'BJJ is around to say because its solid, but you dont need it to be a good martial artist.' well thats why grand master gracie made bjj so that anybody can use it.

  • @Steadno most arts were made by their founder so that everyone could use it. bjj has it uses, but karate like the masters in this video is more then capable of defending itself in the street. These guys are not American sport karate people. These guys hit like a ton of breaks and most I would guess are very skilled in Okinawan Te, so they have a good amount of standing grappling and joint locking skill.

  • @wayoftheforesthand nope most arts were very secret and few were able to learn. only the guilded, high ranked and rich knew it. wing chung was one of the first to chang this and it was invented by a women. the guys in this videos are MASTERS and you cant compare them to a guy with 5 years of mma training. i would bet my money on an mma master vs any single art guy. its like a guy with a sward vs a guy with a sward, shield, armer, chainmail, knife, morning star, horse etc....

  • @Steadno Nope most arts were not kept secret. You are thinking of temple arts, there were also military arts, and things like Chuan Fa in china. Look at a village like Chen in china, pretty much everyone in that town had some Kung Fu training. But to be a true master took time and talent. doesnt matter if its BJJ or XingYi. also most master of hold knew multiple systems. take China for instance. Most internal stylist would learn Tai Chi, Xingyi, and Bagua. none of which were secret hidden arts.

  • @wayoftheforesthand they were kept secret cause if any jackhole could learn then the advantage of knowing the arts would be pointless.

  • @Steadno you don't know the history of the arts do you. There were many different types of systems. some were secret while others were openly taught. Wing Chun was not one of the first art taught openly. maybe in the USA but not in asia. You need to do some more research, you might learn some interesting things about the so called "one" style masters of old, as well as about the martial arts in general.

  • @wayoftheforesthand hint hint you need more time researching and less time debating

  • @Steadno who said anything about debating? that would mean there could be a two possible outcomes. I am not debating I'm stating the the facts of history.

  • @wayoftheforesthand lol youre still wasting time

  • @Steadno well then my ultimate goal was successful. I knew I wasnt going to ultimately change your mind, but if I am going to talk about something on youtube it might as well be something I have put a ton of blood sweat and tears in to. best of luck training.

  • @wayoftheforesthand hint hint dont get stuck in the land of the asian arts

  • @Steadno well as some one once said a punch is a punch and a kick is a kick. there is only so many ways you can do it. so im sure asian arts are more then enough to win any scuffle you might get in. if I want to compete in the cage or win NAGA ill go do bjj. otherwise its not really that needed. im sure karate, silat, and gung fu will keep me busy for a couple decades.

  • @wayoftheforesthand we were talking about who got to learn martial arts. you were saying that any scumbag off the street could learn and i said not true and to not get stuck on the asian arts.

  • @Steadno yes... not sure I said every scumbag learned the arts, but I said their were openly public kwoons that would teach gung fu, didnt mean the Sifu would except thugs or meat heads in to their kwoon. And I can read what you wrote. I was commenting about the "dont get stuck in the land of the asian arts". asia offers enough systems that you will learn enough to defend yourself if need be, maybe not win NAGA but you will survive a fist fight.

  • @wayoftheforesthand did you see the title of this video by chance?

  • @Steadno you were the one that braught up the learning multiple styles, and China is easier to make the except since you will know the names easier. Karate in and of itself is merely the empty handed aspect of Okinawan fighting, you would also learn Te, Kobu jitsu and other systems to round out the fighter. just like Samurai would learn multiple systems as well. Karate was kept more secret yes, but you were the one that braught that rabbit trail.

  • @wayoftheforesthand yes and its better to learn many different styles from all over the world. but we were talking about back in the day how traditional arts werent taught to every jack hole off the street. but you claim they were.

  • @Steadno whats the need to learn to throw the same punch the same way from three different countries? second I never said every one knew martial arts. I said they were not secret. HUGE difference. Teachers have always hand selected their students. but that does not mean that they did not have a open school. We are not talking about your local TKD school that will take anyone with $50 and a heartbeat. The school were still very selective about their students.

  • @wayoftheforesthand attacks arent thrown the same way in every art. i took shotokan karate and the punches are stiff and you fully exstend the elbow and the point is power. i also took lo pan kung fu and you snap punches and dont exstend the elbow. shotokan front kicks are toes curled back aim for stomach and slite bending of the back is ok but lo pan kicks are toe flat aim for groin and never bend the back

  • @Steadno yes I am very well aware of those ways. I have studied karate for many years so I am aware of how they generate power, and I am aware of how many kung fu school do as well because I have learned it to. but in the end of your training you most often have both primary ways of generating power, be it snap or thrust. both karate and kung fu use those because they have the commen root of Chuan Fa. It also depends on the expertise of the teacher. A 4th dan isnt going to have the whole pie.

  • @wayoftheforesthand if youre 'well aware' you wouldnt have made that claim.

  • @Steadno actually because I am 'Very Aware" I can say it. I can also tell you didnt get that far in karate because they have snaping punches and do not always fully extend their punches. you really should watch these videos because they would show you more then just the basics that you are pointing out.

  • @Steadno what claim did i make besides that there were open schools of martial arts before gracies?

  • @wayoftheforesthand A 4th dan means nothing, its a rank, so you saying a 4th dan isnt going to have the whole pie shows your ignorance. For all you know a white belt knows more than you. Ranks mean nothing.

  • @ACLogikel I would both agree and in the same breath disagree. Rank should mean something, but in a fight no one cares if you are 15th dan mma ameri-do-te god belt. it also doesnt mean you can fight. but Dan rank does mean time spent learning normally. dont blindly follow, but dont throw the baby out with the bath water because you are self procaimed know-it-all either. who do you want teaching you a 10th dan or a white belt. 999999 times out of 1000000 you want the 10th dan.

  • @wayoftheforesthand Don't be naive. Rank SHOULD mean something but it doesn't. Rank also does not represent time spent either. Where in the world would you come up with that? Every MA is different and therefor using rank to determine years spent is ignorant. I've been involved with various martial arts and combat sports for over 20+ years and I still have yet to meet anyone outside of BJJ, Judo and ring sports like Boxing, MT, etc.. who has a skill set that relates to their rank. Mostly posers!

  • @ACLogikel I am not being naive, i am not saying all 10th dans are created equal. god knows I have seen my fair share of fat hill billy karate/kung fu masters over the last decade or so. hell i have beat up my fair share of old farts who think they are good because they have 20 yrs + training then me. but still it goes back to what is normally better a 1st dan or a 7th dan for knowledge of a style? By 7th dan I mean actually promoted by the system not a guy creating his own style of te do ryu..

  • @hakim0436 but thats what im saying...learning the sprawl which is a wrestling move is mixing martial arts.

  • Those Guys Were Good. Several Shuri Te katas, and the hard breathing Naha Te guys. Badass'

  • What video, dvd series is this from?

  • AND SHOTOKAN ????

  • sigh…close the distance, full mount, commence to pounding their face while they flail about not knowing what to do.

  • @Steadno easier said than done.

  • @83BigTommy bound to happen. might eat some blows to do it.

  • No-no-no, they would never lose in mma fight!!! They can brake stuff and have lots of secrets!

  • this is Uechi-Ryu style

    pure karate..witch means- modern karate

  • but okinawa karate is not the mother of all martial arts...

  • @CrossMr78 Why would you say so?

  • w kung fu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • le karaté est le meilleur

  • Original and pure karate?

  • i was thinking to click 'don't like'..then i turned off the audio and...thumbs up!!

  • It's Karate but they need a chick from England to explain it?

  • 0:43 He got touched! 

  • the bitch is really over selling it.

  • Of course the video is pure and vary cheap marketing BUT the master involved are really living legend. I would buy it but turning off audio.

  • no secrets just learn right and train hard

  • @themaniusedtob Actually, each style had its own secret in favor of their own style, thats the reason why there are so many different branches of karate.

  • @themaniusedtob 100 percent right, as far as secrets in the kata are concerned, once youve learnt the kata from a good source, the bunkai is self explanatary, and variable, practice your makiwara daily, when it gets easy to hit, change the surface or thickness, do your resistance training, stamina exercises regularly, a good training partner, keep it real,thats the secret

    karate dojos in okinawa are running out of students because of this secret bullshit, very few good dojos left in okinawa.

  • @singhakabuttar I Completely agree with your comment. OSS!

  • andate a cacare

  • for those who say what is the original martial art is. have to take into factor how old some of the leegends are and much of what we think we know could just be legend. As for me I don't mind that much what the original martial art is. but i don't think it was jujutsu unless you think the other martial art came from tackling each other.

  • *****SHOTOKAN*****

  • Much respect for the Japanese Karate but...it's not the "Original" Martial Art.

  • kiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaaaaiiiii­iiiiiiiiii

  • anybody can break a piece of paper with a punch. :P

  • @awbear619 try it but do suspend it freely

  • FIRST OF ALL, i want to mention that its a great and secret trick in movies and films to "score" or cut boards partially, for the effect of it being broken.

    look closely to the stick starting at 0:17, and you will see it cut halfway through for it to break easier.

    im NOT debunking Karate, or its techniques, i just think that most martial arts nowadays are more show that practicality.

  • Okinawan karate has a very long history and if not sported is a very effective and fast martial art

  • Ip man is better :)

  • ...why do they never announce that karate is the copied version of the chinese kung fu / wushu ? =P

    and why do they also never say that karate is unfluent because the japanese people who "stole" it didn´t understand the flow ? ^^

  • @schulleee no es copia

    no se trata de copiar sino que tiene origenes chinos

  • @schulleee "why do they never announce that karate is the copied version of the chinese kung fu / wushu ?" because it is not, it is the combining of chinese chuan fa and okinawan Ti (uchinadi)

    "why do they also never say that karate is unfluent because the japanese people who "stole" it didn´t understand the flow ?"

    again because that's not the reason, it was Yostitsune(anko) Itosu changing it so it could be instructed on high schools and that's what was introduced to Japan

  • @Toudiyama IT IS NOT A COPY WE THINK BETTER IN SOME INFLUENCY REMEMBER THAT BEFORE CHINESE THECNICHES ARRIVED THERE WERE IN OKINAWA LOCAL ONES, SO LITTLE BY LITTLE WE HAVE A COMBINATION THAT ENRICHES ALL OF THIS NOWADAYS THE KARATE CONTINUE ITS EVOLUTION......

  • @alejandritou333 First, why the all caps? second that is what I wrote Okinawan Ti (uchina-di) was the art that was already present on Okinawa

    to say the japanese "stole" it, like schullee did is an indication of not knowing the history of the okinawan martial arts or the hatret for the japanes that some of the chinese masters pass on to their students

  • @Toudiyama SORRY MY COMENT WANTED TO BE 4 SCHULLEE AND ALL IN CAPS CAU'SE IT IS MY STYLE

  • @Toudiyama SORRY MY COMENT WANTED TO BE 4 SCHULLEE

  • @alejandritou333 no problem man

  • @schulleee its not really a copied version during trade the two cultures combined kung fu and japanese Jui jitsu. and thats how they got karate.

  • @AlwayzAustin not japanese jujutsu but koryu uchinadi or Ti from Okinawa,

    but you are right during that time there were cultural exchanges where chines masters came to okinawa and some okinawans went to china and studied the arts overthere

  • @schulleee

    Stop the ignorance. That has already been acknowledged, what are they suppose to do worship the Chinese? Besides, nowadays Karate displays more Martial efficiency than Wushu, which has been practically neutered by the communists.

    There are jewels are out there, but most of Wushu is floppy weapons and little to no full contact experience.

  • 0:17 looooool

    but stuff like that isnt really interesting an good at all. its only show for not martial artist. to impress them.

    the rest of the vid is really cool

    thx for uploading =)

  • Master K. Tohyama is the best in this video

  • These training techniques look closer to the traditional Chinese martial arts training techniques, which of course they are, because Shaolin monks and other masters had fled China during the many political and social upheavals that took place there and settled in Okinawa, transmitting their knowledge, and also combining it with the indigenous martial arts of that island. You can also see that the Okinawan moves are more circular and fluid like Chinese forms.

  • "There are no pure styles of Karate. Purity comes only when pure knuckles meet pure flesh, no matter who delivers or who recieves". Ed Parker.......With that said I like this vid

  • lol the original and pure karate? If such a thing existed....it would be likely inferior to what we have today. Martial arts, like everything, evolve.

  • @SkInHoUnD Well said!

  • @SkInHoUnD i think the point of that is to say none sport karate. since what most people think of karate is something out of a store front with mommy and daddy paying $5 a board so jimmy who is 7 and a black belt can break it. they are trying to find the pure combat focused karate of old.

  • Well ...then ...Shaolin is the Father...LOL

  • the "secret" "ultimate" karate, full of shit, try kyokushinkai-kan!

  • @blugularis WTF is wrong with you? The karate on this video is so far above kyokuSHIT it's not even funny! Any fucking moron can trade body punches if they condition their torso! Boxers do it all the time with medicine ball training. There is no strategy in KyokuSHIT! Just trading punches! Ur supposed to be able to take more hits than the other guy? That's a fighting strategy? Totally stupid! Allow face punches and see how many punches you can take! You won't do it will U? Phony as fuck!

  • @blugularis I respect your passion. I love and have trained Kyokushinkai-kan; however, it also limited due to the rules - punches to the face are not allowed nor ground fighting.

  • This is probably the most traditional and genuine karate summary on youtube.

  • This Gosh, Golly Gee approach to martial arts creates tourists, not dedicated practicioners.

  • Veramente bello!!! OSU

  • It seems to have borrowed fromTai Chi, Kung Fu, I also see elements of Wing Chun especially the 4 gates techniques.

  • @zubiAfghani Man I find Wing Tsun applications all over karate! Damn near every karate style has Wing Tsun elements in it! At least from a forms perspective. Although the actual applications have been lost by many of the "Japanese fat heads" to quote Kill Bill (Pai Mei)! Ironically, I hear idiots that practice karate bad mouth Wing Tsun saying that it doesn't work. All the while not realizing that many of the techniques in their own kata come straight from Wing Tsun! LOL!

  • @osensei2987 True. The Wing Tsun elements are based on economy of movement and efficiency. I can see where Karate, which for the most part has a one deadly strike concept, would adopt those elements.

  • The original and pure karate is Fujian crane...

  • Il karate non è una disciplina nata su Okinawa, è nata presso alcune della Cina e si chiamava inizialmnte Te, poi perfezionato in Giappone ed ad Okinwa in particolare.

  • this is karate, im a BB in GoJu Ryu

    Karate is from the Ryuku empire that ruled the whole south pacific from okinawa

    Karate has many secrets... in fact you are instructed wrong... all those stances are designed to tune your muscles to be able to learn real Karate... after BB you learn real karate (if you find a real dojo)

    This Video is all Hype

    Karate is not the mother of MA
